Polyphasic Day 7

Day 7: 2013/8/21

With the screwed up schedule from the previous day, it would have been nice to have this be more structured and careful, but no, this was the day I had the most stuff going on with work and needed to be on-site. So after sleeping until 9, I then missed naps until 3pm. That extra couple of hours this morning was >very< helpful, but by nightfall I was starting to really feel it again. This was the 2nd worst night so far.

I tried sleeping a bit more often. Every hour or two instead of every 3. Didn't seem to help; it just meant I had more instances of awakening and attempting to sleep.

I was struck by something today: even on the worst nights, I seem to be fully awake and functional during the normal daylight hours. It isn't until the wee hours that I notice any negative effects.
