The Uberman Sleep Schedule

So I've decided to try a Polyphasic sleep schedule while I still have a month left of my summer. After doing a fair amount of reading, I was going to start a Biphasic sleep schedule but then after considering it more and reading more I decided the Uberman would be the most fun to try. Why? Because this will probably be the only time in my life when I'll have a schedule that will allow me to do this, the time to adjust (~1 month), and be healthy enough to make it though the adjustment. I'm not sure I'll be able to make it or how long I'll stick too it if I even am able to pull it off, but I'm going to give it my best. So now that have explained what I'm doing, I should talk a bit about what the Uberman sleep schedule even is. Basically every 4 hours, I'll be taking a 20 minute nap. I've decided to do 1, 5, and 9 around the clock because it will best fit my work schedule, social events, and class schedule in the fall (if I even make it that long!). Here's a visual representation I borrowed from wikipedia:

Anyways I plan to post a blog post every few days at least, probably more regularly because I'll be struggling to find things to do these first few days.  From what I've read, the next week is going to be hell, but after that is when I'll start to feel rested all the time, my overall mental alertness restore and even increase some, and my body begin to accept the new schedule.  I started at 1am today and so far after almost falling asleep before my alarm going off I now feel tired and groggy, I only expect it to get worse over the next few days.  Anyways, wish me luck, I'll post again in a few hours.
