SOOO

I haven't been posting lately because as usual I am not succeeding at polyphasic napping. Why? I think I have tried to do it for so long that I don't care any more. I have developed almost a grand-mother type style of living because I work at home. I wake up around 4 am. Usually stay up till around 7:00 and then pass out till about 9-10. Then I get up and then usually have another short nap around 3:00 if I am lucky. I usually feel sick, as though I over slept immensely through out all of this. Really tired before 7, everything after, I feel as if I over slept. I know if I would just go outside and do something I would feel better but it's such a hassle to leave the apartment for some reason. I almost feel like I was doing better trying to stay awake because then I got to be on all of those no-sleep hormones that I love. It's almost sick because after napping for so long, I can pretty much sleep at any time of the day. Afternoon, morning, night. Any time. But it's not 30 minute naps, they're 2 hour naps so that's not good. Really makes you lethargic and tired because you're always able to sleep, even right after you wake up. My will power is so pathetic. The one thing that keeps me happy is that I realize that I am already working at home comfortably, I know all about polyphasic sleeping at the age of 19 aaaand I am working out more then ever and I have a really refined diet. There's a helicopter outside my window. Shining it's light right in my window! How dare it! Anyways...

I am on a diet that consists of one meal a day to help with my polyphasic sleeping. I read a report lately that studies show that eating makes you sleepy. Not drinking caffeine makes you sleepy. I dare say I am almost addicted to caffiene, I will go days without it, and once I get it I feel good, much like a beer. Otherwise I feel half as good. It sort of pisses me off. About the one meal a day plan. It states that if you are experiencing jet lag, etc after traveling. you should go a day without eating to reset your circadian rhythm so you can stay awake. I knew that eating made you sleepy from before I read this because I would always sleep after I ate. This only confirms what I already knew.

I got the idea for the one meal a day plan from Nakamats. The hardcore inventor who has a record for inventions and does polyphasic sleeping. He invented the floppy disk, the hard drive, the CD, etc. Was a genius by 12, already made a cool million from a water invention. What he does, is he takes a picture of every meal he eats after he eats it, and he only eats one meal a day. Studies show that eating more then you need is actually very bad for your intestinal system and balance of energy and not only that he analyzes the energy that he gets from each meal after the day has gone through to see what is best for him.

Today I didn't really follow through. I ate in the afternoon and ate the rest of my over-ripe fruit. But this is only day one so I am not too upset. I also recommend rolling around over-ripe banana's in blended peanuts. Tastes great. I know, I know, peanut butter on banana's. Not the same, you need crushed up peanuts! I am still fairly full and it's 23:21. By this time my stomach should be fairly empty. I am probably going to fast until NIN to enhance my concert going. I know

My vegan diet has left me feeling tired. Always tired. Not weak, as in physically weak. I am quite strong, I finish all my work outs, and do lots of push ups, I am just, sleepy. It's a bitch for polyphasic sleeping. It's not like a bad thing, I know if I just ate less I probably wouldn't be as tired, but I love food. This is why the one meal a day plan will probably help.

Caffeine, is fucking addicting. Without it you feel half alive. blaaaaa!
