sleep

Here is an update on the sleep experiment. My schedule basically caused me to fail at life. It consisted of sleeping from 3-6 am and pm I operated at a 4 on the Stanford Sleepiness Scale.
Basically, I made it through the week. Then during the weekend I crashed continually. I would wake up for five hours and then sleep for 4.5. I ended up getting a little over twelve hours sleep every twenty four hour period. Next I am going to try the Everyman sleep schedule. I think that I can do it. My last attempt wasn't well thought out. I also have a healthy dose of panic to keep me awake as well as a good record of Sousa Marches. My favorite is "The Gallant Seventh." Get the one on "Sousa II." Anyway, right now I am at a three on the Sleepy scale. My next nap is in about 100 minutes. My schedule will look like this.

  • 3pm-6m Core Nap
  • 11:00pm - 11:30pm nap
  • 5:15am - 5:40- nap
  • 11:00 - 11:25am nap with deviation for late tuesday
  • repeat
Laters!

That's an interesting scale there. I think I constantly run on a 5 with 5 hours of sleep at night. I'm at 7 while driving home when I don't get my naps at school. Weekends with 9 hours of sleep at night put me at 2 though.

Both of you would be dangerous with 8 solid hours of sleep nightly.
