Polyphasic Sleeping in Ann Arbor

Hi, I'm Jeremy, a father of 3 and a computer programmer from Ann Arbor Michigan. I switched to a polyphasic sleeping schedule to try to deal with my obstructive sleep apnea more effectively. I started this blog to track my progress.

Day 1 - Reflection

It has definitely been an up and down day. I started off feeling great, but long about 10 AM I crashed. I barely felt able to carry on a conversation. Then I had two really difficult naps at 12:30 and 4:30. At about 6 PM something interesting happened: I started feeling better.

My 8:30 nap went great, and I've been feeling very good again up until about 15 minutes ago when I was suddenly overcome with exhaustion again. With every passing minute I feel like I'm losing the ability to communicate.

Part of me is tempted to take an extra nap right now, and the other part is telling me to wait until 12:30. I'm not sure which way I'll go just yet.

Oh, and the best news today was that when I started feeling better, it really showed up in my test scores. I had my best results on almost every test since I started logging the results earlier in the week. This gives me hope that in the end, if I stick this out, the rewards will be well worth it.
