How do I feel: Yup. I slept for 5.5 hours from 4:00 AM - 9:30 AM. My body couldn't handle it anymore. The problem with my polyphasic sleep cycle right now is that... you're supposed to take it REALLY easy your first week. However... I've been studying, working, and reading more than I ever have this year. That's why my body finally broke down and gave in to sleep deprivation. Also, I noticed that I easily sleep through my cell phone alarm clock... so I bought a REAL alarm clock today. I am going to do everything I can today to stick to my sleep cycles and make it through the night without sleeping for more than 20 minutes per nap. Also... I noticed that when I sleep in my bed... I automatically think "monophasic sleep." So I decided to sleep on my sofa chair until I get used to polyphasic sleeping... I feel like a science project... tweaking things here and there in order to accomplish this.
