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 3 - Day time is getting easier

I've found the naps during the day to be very refreshing, much more so than during the night. Last night I actually over-slept for 3 naps. One was 50 minutes instead of 20, one was 90 minutes and the last was 60 minutes.

Of course it was a very rough night. Our son got sick something like 7 times over the course of the night. Good thing I was already planning to stay up, because I wouldn't have gotten any monophasic sleep anyway :-)

To remedy the over-sleep problems, I've decided to start using the MP3 nap files created by Placebo. These have a nice white noise for X number of minutes follwed by various sounds to help wake you up (rooster, cow bells, etc). As a backup I'll be setting my alarm. At night I might add an additional alarm to ward off the inevitable "5 more minutes couldn't hurt" feeling :)
