Waking up was Ok.\u00a0 I could concentrate and work quite well until 5:30<\/strong>.\u00a0 Time at which I got drowsy and sleepy.\u00a0 However some activity snapped me out of it and I got back to work.<\/p>\n

It’s day 4<\/strong> of the Everyman schedule and I’m doing very well.\u00a0 Much better than the first day.\u00a0 Again the 7am<\/strong> nap is still full of REM, just like in a normal sleep morning.<\/p>\n

sleep phases on the 13th of March (the mobile didn't synchronize properly for the 5pm nap)<\/p><\/div>\n

Today I slept 4h <\/strong>and 39mn<\/strong> in total and I’m not feeling sleepy all day.\u00a0 Instead there are a few moments around 6:30<\/strong>, 12:30<\/strong> and after 22:00<\/strong> when I feel quite tired.\u00a0 But my energy levels are relatively constant the rest of the day.\u00a0 I may start logging my subjective alertness and awareness on a 1 – 10 scale through the day to try to describe better the adaptation period.\u00a0 Readers, what do you think?\u00a0 Would that be useful?Health<\/strong>: I stayed at home today to regain all my strength.\u00a0 My leg injury has healed very quickly (almost finished in 3 days), so I don’t see the sleep deprivation affecting it so far.\u00a0 Otherwise I’m snacking a bit more, still doing dinner and lunch and drinking more juice and water.<\/p>\n

Adapting? \u00a0<\/strong> All in all, it’s too early to say if I have adapted to Everyman.\u00a0 My body may be just getting more and more tired and I just haven’t noticed.\u00a0 Most personal accounts describe a 2 – 3 week<\/strong> adaptation phase, so I have to be patient and continue sticking to the schedule.\u00a0 Perhaps in a week I’ll make a first attempt at \u00fcberman (6 twenty minute naps and no core sleep).\u00a0 Below is the evolution in the last week and a half of my core sleep times:<\/p>\n

\"weekly<\/a>

As you see there is no clear repeating structure or pattern every night.\u00a0 This may be a combination of natural variability and adaptation (I’ll be able to tell you more when I crunch the data from the first two weeks of normal sleep).\u00a0 Have a nice sleep!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
