Trying a different sleep plan.

Ok my experiment with polyphasic sleep didn’t work out so well; I could never wake up afer my short “core sleep” cycle.

My reason for wanting to try polyphasic sleep is that when I arrive home from work, I’m tired. I eat, exercise, and then it’s 7ish. It’s not bedtime, but I’m worn out from work, so don’t work on my projects I have or whatever. Instead, I either read or watch anime or play a game. Those aren’t bad activities, but it’s a cycle I want to change.

However, I might be over thinking this. Tonight I’m going to try and take a nap tonight around 7ish, after dinner and exercising, when I’m normally entering my tired state. I’ll sleep for 90-100 min, which is the average length of a sleep cycle. Then I’ll get up around 8:30, and see how I feel, and stay awake until I feel tired again. I’m thinking I’ll try to get the total amount of sleep I used to get. That means I’d just need another 4.5hr nap or so before work.

I hope this works. Either way though, it’s fun to approach sleep like an experiment.
