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.

Eating

I've had a few comments about this and I forgot to mention this back around day 2. I realized quickly that eating BEFORE a nap was counter-productive. I've been eating mainly after waking up, occasionally an hour before a nap. If I eat much closer to a nap than that I don't feel as good when I wake up.

I've been sticking to my lacto-ovo (milk/cheese and eggs) vegetarian diet about 99% of the time (my wife made some sausages one day, I was weak and had a couple bites :-) ) . I'm still planning to gradually start reintroducing meat into my diet after about a month. I went to an all-you-can-eat place last night (hmmm, another potential reason for that over-sleep?) and had just vegetarian fare. That was a very strange feeling...

Anyway, lacto-ovo vegetarian is pretty easy since really the only thing off-limits is stuff with meat in it. As opposed to a vegan diet where anything with animal products in it is forbidden. I don't think I'd have the willpower for that one. The hardest thing is when my wife makes steaks or something for herself and the kids and I'm eating a salad... Ah well, even if I end up not being able to manage meat on this sleep schedule it's worth it!
