As stated in my previous post, I will be starting (or trying to start) a polyphasic sleep cycle, specifically the Everyman variety, while at college and across timezones. Here’s how it’s going to work:

• I begin today, Monday, by sleeping from now (1AM PDT) until 5AM PDT and having a short nap at 9AM, 3PM, and 7PM PDT (my pathetic attempt to try to ease into things).
• I will finish off my week in California by taking 20 minute naps at 7AM, 2PM, and 7PM PDT and getting my core sleep from 12-3AM PDT.
• Once I go back to Carnegie Mellon I will shift my cycle back by 3 hours, meaning that I will have no jet lag (3 hour time difference from PDT to EDT), and my new schedule will fit nicely into my school schedule.
• I will consume no alcohol or caffeine, since that ruins the cycle.

At the very least it should be interesting. Now, time for bed.

Update: I do not plan on using this blog to post updates on this…I’ll probably use twitter for that. Also, I messed up my first day…*sigh*
