Not Dead, and a Good Travel Napping Story
So, I missed my Wednesday update for, like, the first time ever this week. It's not because I'm dead, or as some were probably hoping, passed out sleeping in a mad 50-hour chunk of making up for three years of Everyman. ;)
No, actually I'm traveling, more for business than pleasure, though it's been fun anyway. It has involved driving by myself for 13 hours straight, and sleeping on a couch. The upside to that is that 4-6 hours of sleep and one nap (one 20-minute nap even) has kept me going amazingly well, so much so that I'm considering tightening up my schedule when I get home to be similar to this.
I've been doing it three days now, with shockingly little adjustment or issues, and I've consistently woken up without alarms. The biphasic "6-1 Everyman" may be even more forgiving than I thought! Or maybe I just need less sleep while I'm on the road? But I'll get more updates, and a proper post, out to you all as soon as I can.
Happiness and wakefulness to all!
PD

hey there, my names tom and i'm from sydney, australia.
hey, i stumbled upon your blog a couple of days ago, and this whole idea of polyphasic sleep is really interesting.
i have a couple of questions i wanted to ask you about it, but for some reason my email can't get through.
so, would you mind emailing me at tommygwala@hotmail.com? it doesn't matter what you say in the email, only that i have an address to reply to so i can ask what i need to ask.
really inspired by what you're doing,
Tom
Go PD! I had to root you on when I read that you're going polyphasic again…you must even more excited than you sound. Many congrats! I hope your adaption goes quickly and smoothly. Even if it doesn't, you seem to be able to keep a balanced perspective in such endeavors and get where you need to be in the end. Enjoy all the 4ams to come!
