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 2 - Recovered and doing okay

Busy day so I haven't posted, but I did manage to recover from my night time oversleep fairly well. A combination of the extra 2 naps plus some activity to get the blood pumping (dancing to music for example) got me back on track.

I did have a minor oversleep of about 15 minutes at noon, but it didn't seem to be long enough to affect me negatively.

One interesting thing I've noticed today: I'm starting to "dream" before I actually fall asleep. I don't know how else to describe it. I'm aware of my surroundings still (kids crying, people talking) and yet I'm visualizing strange things (like in a dream) at the same time. Maybe this happens to other people but I've never experienced anything like it. It was pretty disturbing the first time, but now I've started to realize it's a cue that I'm almost asleep.

Unfortunately I'm not remembering any dreams when I wake up yet. That does seem to be an indication that your body has started to adapt. Of course I can't say that I remember dreams very often anyway so I'm kinda curious what that will be like :-)
