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 - Recovering from the oversleep

So basically instead of sleeping for 20 minutes at 11:30 I wound up sleeping for about 2 hours and 20 minutes. I'm not entirely sure why I woke up since I had long ago turned off the alarms, but I'm grateful that I didn't sleep longer.

Recovery from the oversleep is still ongoing, and it's been really really hard. So far I had to take another extra nap at 3:30 and I'm about to do my 4:30 nap. I'm starting to feel like I can at least form a coherent sentence again. Of course I might be imagining that...

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most alert, I think I was somewhere around a 2 after the oversleep. With one nap since then under my belt I think i'm at a 4 now and climbing. With luck the next nap will restore some semblance of balance.

Fingers crossed.
