I&#8217;ll summarize the first month in the next post.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 30<\/strong>: As I had missed my afternoon nap and I just received 3 jabs of Polio, HepA and Typhoids, I chose to catch up on some sleep and give myself 5h for this night. My body dove into deep sleep 5mn after going to bed and stayed there for 1h straight. This may show a physiological need to recover physically from tiredness and boost the immune system.\u00a0 The point of this experiment is to show that it&#8217;s possible to sleep much much less.\u00a0 But I think it&#8217;s reasonable to manage sleep just like we do with a normal schedule.\u00a0 Some occasions call for extra rest.\u00a0 And I think injecting 3 families of dead or numb viruses in my body is such an occasion \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/six40winks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120406_core_hypnogram-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1096\" title=\"20120406_core_hypnogram\" src=\"https:\/\/six40winks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120406_core_hypnogram-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"914\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/six40winks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120406_core_hypnogram-1.png 914w, https:\/\/six40winks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120406_core_hypnogram-1-300x47.png 300w, https:\/\/six40winks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120406_core_hypnogram-1-768x119.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 914px) 100vw, 914px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(2012\/04\/06, (3:30,6),(3:50,7),(5:50,6.5) &#8220;eyes more irritated than yesterday&#8221;), (4:25,4.5,&#8221;very tired, sandy eyes&#8221;), (5:10,5,&#8221;more sleepy than normal. hard to keep eyes open&#8221;), (5:15,4,&#8221;nod off&#8221;), (5:25,5), (5:30,6,&#8221;standing in kitchen to stay awake&#8221;),(6:00,6.5),(7:30,6.5),(8:00,6),(9:00,7),(12:00,7.5),(19:30,7.5),(20:30,7),(21:00,6),(22:00,5),(22:30,4))<\/p>\n<p>My 19:00 nap just wouldn&#8217;t happen.\u00a0 I was too awake.\u00a0 It&#8217;s surprising how missing a nap, or laying in bed without sleeping changes my mood. I become rather quiet, removed, thoughtful. Perhaps also because we have visitors at home and I feel the need to talk and converse even though my body is asking to go back to bed.\u00a0 Anyway, I decided to catch up on that missing nap at 21:00 which worked quite well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 31<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/six40winks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120407_core_hypnogram-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1100\" title=\"20120407_core_hypnogram\" src=\"https:\/\/six40winks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120407_core_hypnogram-1.png\" alt=\"polyphasic sleep everyman schedule\" width=\"827\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/six40winks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120407_core_hypnogram-1.png 827w, https:\/\/six40winks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120407_core_hypnogram-1-300x52.png 300w, https:\/\/six40winks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120407_core_hypnogram-1-768x132.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp mceIEcenter\">\n<dl id=\"attachment_1100\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 837px;\">\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\">polyphasic sleep everyman schedule &#8211; April 7th 2012<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p>(2012\/04\/07, (3:45,6),(3:50,7),(5:00,6.5),(6:00,6),(7:00,7),(10:20,6,&#8221;moody, physically tired&#8221;), (12:00,5),(13:00,7),(14:00,7.5, &#8220;unusual nervous energy.
