Polyphasic Sleep Experiment - Day 2

Sunday Dec. 23, 2018

5:30am - lol we overslept. Instead of taking a 25-minute nap, we took an hour and 25 min. But I actually feel refreshed now! Mentally I'm much more awake than 11pm last night, and physically I feel pretty good.

Because there is no "overnight" anymore, I decided to take my contacts off between the midnight nap and the 4am nap. As much as I hate wearing my glasses, I needed to give my eyes and contacts a break. Earlier they were feeling dry and uncomfortable; now, wearing the contacts again, my eyes feel more refreshed.

Today's the day Todor and I have to separate for a few hours. He's moving and I need to go back to my place to turnover the spare bedroom for the next AirBnB guest. So far there's been long periods of near boredom for me during this transition phase; I wonder what it'll be like if this "experiment" takes hold and we continue living like this. The boredom is mostly due to the fact that I'm at Todor's and there isn't much I can do here. I wonder how different it would be if we were at my place (where I have my endless to-do list of tasks around the house).

I joined up with Todor around 2pm and together we continued moving his stuff. This is both a good idea and a bad idea. Good idea because it gave us lots of mindless things to do (put these in this box, move that over there, haul all of these in/out of the truck, etc). Bad idea because it's physically very exhausting so it makes us want sleep more.

Which lead to our hour and half oversleep session at midnight.....
