How do I feel: Wow. I got more sleep than I usually do during monophasic sleep. This is embarassing. Interesting point - I kind of skipped by 8 PM nap, which led to (probably not coincidentally) a 6 hour "nap" from 12:00 - 6:00 AM. Lesson learned: Take good naps. Force yourself to nap. My little brother laughed at me and pointed out that I've been sleeping more during "polyphasic" sleeping rather than "monophasic" sleeping. Embarassing, yet true. My mom says that I can't fight human physiology and that I NEED to sleep like a normal person... Not giving up, yet. I plan to give it at least two weeks before I figure out whether or not I can continue with the polyphasic sleep cycle. Interesting point: Even with my irregular naps, my past 8 days have been the most productive since I arrived in NYC... exactly a 100 days ago. Coincidence? Probably not.
