Polyphasic: temporary failure

I am sad, I overslept today, and since that would mean i would be miserable during school for a good week (and midterms are spread out in the next week or two), I cannot follow through right now. It's the reasonable thing to do for now

To sa I give up would be incorrect however, you can bet i'll be at this after midterms again

EDIT: just learned from my mother there was a power outage... I dont know why she didnt wake me up if there was one. However this is disappointing.

Funny thing sleep is

Here's the day2 update!

I managed to get 20 minute naps of actual sleep!
I found my first few were odd, I would have a sort of waking dream, and I started to hate falling asleep because in my waking dream I would always be confused. I would try to make sense of nonsense.

Until about 4am, I was thinking "wow this is really easy" I was on day 2 cruising along like it was nothing. I was hoping to be some miracle exception to the adaptation phase! screw adaptation right?!

But as soon as 4 am hit, I started sleeping on and off every 20 minutes, I was exhausted. I have likely gotten 12 naps in the night, totaling 4 hours of sleep. I already have been waking up before my naps are over, but that doesn't mean I'm not tired when I do!!!!

Before this, I really needed around 10 hours of sleep to feel at my best, and as of now, I have no idea if my body will even like the idea of dropping naps.

Well i'll keep going and see what happens!

Messed up first night?!

Bad News:
Well, I set up my alarm incorrectly so it did not actually go off! Sad thing is, I not only messed up the configuration but one alarm, but two alarms!

Good news:
I did only sleep for 3 hours, given that, I will give credit to the 'core nap' theory

I will continue to attempt SPAMAYL
One odd sensation I would like to report- is that some songs I listen to seem to sound faster for some reason. I dont know if i've ever seen somebody report that.

I am not discouraged, I will continue. Although I did not expect to screw up the first night XD

Sleeping less and less: SPAMAYL

For those who do not know, SPAMAYL is an acronym for "sleep polyphasic as much as you like". In this schedule, one sleeps 20 minutes at a time whenever they want! as long as there are 20 minutes between naps.

NOW, for the good stuff:
The reason I am trying this is because I have an idea for a program I have become obsessed with for more than a week. It's been robbing me of a normal sleep schedule, I wake up, or cannot fall asleep knowing it will be so long until I work on it again. I am currently attempting to implement it, but there are so many things I am adding along the way.

I can no longer stand it, I am trying polyphasic, I know it will temporarily set me back, but I will spend my time making more ideas for this program (to see my most current idea go to freelanMachineLearning.blogspot.com, I try to put it in everyday human language)

Stay tuned to see how well this goes.
