Hey,
So I'm not going to post day 3. It went fine. I made all my naps, didn't oversleep, and generally felt great. I think the REM sleep was more or less kicking in as well because my gf told me she watched my eyes moving rapidly (I tend to keep my eyes slightly open when sleeping).
Bad news however. There was one thing that I realize is so bad that I must stop polyphasic sleeping. Coming into it, I did not expect that scheduling around naps would be so bad. It wasn't until yesterday that I came to the realization that it was going to be miserable.
As I was helping my sister move, it came around to my 4 pm nap. I ended up doing it 25 minutes late because I thought I'd be done and napping by then. When I did finally take the nap, in a car, I slept miserably. It was then that I realized how inconvenient this sleep schedule is. I don't mind rescheduling work, because that is always constant. Having to change my life, which is nowhere near consistent or routine, is too hard and too much of a hassle to do. I very much enjoyed my time doing this, even though it was only 4 days, and will try it again when my life settles down. For now, I must stop. I'm sorry and hope you guys found what little I did post to be helpful or relevant.
Good luck to you guys on your polyphasic adventures and I'll be sure to keep an eye out for blogs you may have posted.

Day 2 - 6/23/2010
So here's the breakdown for day 2. It was a HARD day and I did fail a little bit (read on, you'll see), but I got through it and don't expect it to hinder the process at all.
12:00 am - Per the usual, this was my hardest nap. I didn't slept tremendously well, but had enough energy to last me until about 3 am. At that point, I started to crash HARD. I tribute this to the fact that I was watching a movie and it was really bad, so I wasn't fully involved in it.
4:00 am - First fail of the day. I slept well for this nap, as I usually do, but despite that, I still was nowhere near as energetic as I have been. I now know what "zombie mode" feels like. Wow, I can't believe how awful it feels. I could NOT keep my eyes open for the life of me. I took a few micronaps that consisted of about 2-5 minutes of sleep before deciding to add another nap into here. To be honest, that nap did next to nothing for me either. I slept pretty hard, but woke up just about as tired as before (though not quite as bad). This was by far the roughest 3.5 hours I've had. I'm hoping, praying, that this 4-8 am shift today doesn't go as bad as yesterdays, but we'll see.
8:00 am - Did not dream (or did not remember it), but I felt around 70% refreshed after this nap. At the very least, I felt a whole helluva lot better than I did the previous period. I think it helped that my girlfriend woke up just as I was going to bed, so I had her to hang out with during that period of time.
12:00 pm - I feel like sleeping is on and off for me. I will get a good nap, then a bad nap, or maybe 2 good naps and a really bad nap. For this, it was a fairly bad nap. I didn't sleep extremely well, but I had enough energy to last me through the day. I did feel the exhaustion setting in when I was leaving the house right at 12:30 after I woke up to make an appointment. I ran to the elevator in my building and as soon as I got in, I just felt my body almost shut down. It was a feeling of extreme comfort. So much comfort that your body kind of melts and you lose muscle control. It was very brief and happened in two small stints, but it did portray the exhaustion my body is going through.
4:00 pm - Second and last fail of the day. Apparently the countdown timer app on my phone was muted and the main alarm clock I use was too quiet, because I slept through them both. It wasn't until around 4:50 pm when my g/f called to be sure I woke up and thank god she did. That being said, I did only get about 30 minutes of sleep. I couldn't fall asleep for the life of me, but when I finally did, it felt really good. The full 30 minutes of sleep 100% refreshed me. It was as good, or better, than the nap I mentioned yesterday that refreshed me. I think my major problem with adapting right now is getting my body to actually fall asleep. This isn't the case every time, as I do stay tired after some good naps, but for the most part, my body still needs to adapt to falling asleep faster. This was basically the best period of time during the day and I hope more periods become more like this one soon.
8:00 pm - Slept very well again. Woke up not quite as refreshed as the 4:00 pm nap, but very close. Still not dreaming/remembering dreams yet so it's hard to tell if I'm getting full REM sleep yet. I do have to say that it's hard to measure the duration of my energy beyond initially waking up because when I'm around other people, I have energy no matter what. I've been around my g/f this whole time as she's been trying to support me through this as much as she can, and that's helped a lot. My room mate is also helping me stay up as well by just being here and hanging out with me.
Anyway, we finished True Blood season 2 today. Damn good show. It is what Twilight should've been (god I hate those movies). I would recommend the show to anyone who likes vampires or supernatural stuff.
Overall, I feel like things are getting better. That 4 am - 8 am felt like the top of the hill to me and its all downhill from here on out. Obviously I can't say that for sure. It's about 3:30 am right now and I have my 4 am - 8 am shift of Day 3 coming up. My energy for that period will be a telling sign of whether or not things are getting better.
It's also starting to get a lot harder to tell time apart, or even remember what I did in a day. My mind is slowing converting itself to remembering what I did in a day to what I did in a period (for the sake of this blog). It's harder and easier at the same time. It's hard because there's more time in the day and that makes it harder to remember everything that happens in general. It's easier because now I can break the day up into chunks and just remember what happens in a 3.5 hour period.
I'm a little bummed by the fact that I don't feel motivated to start new things if it's like 30 min - an hour before a nap (depending on the task). I feel like if I do start something, breaking it up is annoying and I will just wait for the next period before starting. For instance, that bad movie I watched was broken up by my 4 am nap. I just found that to be bothersome and it took away from the experience of being engaged in the movie. It wasn't as bad for this one because it was so bad, but assuming I watched a good movie like The Dark Knight or Avatar, it would've been different.
So that's my thoughts and updates for Day 2. I will be helping my sister move for Day 3, so we will see how this has affected my strength and endurance. I will also be updating from Day 3 and beyond with reflex tests. I was planning on doing that before but COMPLETELY forgot about them until a reader reminded me. Hopefully it won't be too detrimental for them to be missing, but I'm going to take them anyway just so you can see them.
Well that's all. See you tomorrow!

Day 1 - 6/22/2010 - Attempt 2...
So this attempt was MUCH better than my first. It is now 1:50 AM on 6/23/2010 and I have not missed a single nap and only overslept like 10 minutes on one (didn't hear my alarms I guess).
12:00 am - This has been and probably always will be my hardest nap. I, once again, did not sleep during it. Fortunately, because it was my first nap of my 2nd try, I still had energy from my sleep the day before. That pretty much lasted me up until my 4 am nap.
4:00 am - While 12 may be the hardest nap, 4 is definitely the easiest. Passed out within a few minutes and woke up quite refreshed. Unfortunately, because I didn't get 8 hours of sleep the day before AND I'm not getting REM sleep, this energy didn't last long. Around 6 am I was feeling pretty tired and by 7 am I was counting down the minutes till my next nap. I thought I would have the desire to want to go run or work out or something, but I came into a terrible loop hole type situation. Because I was tired, I didn't want to do anything and because I didn't want to do anything, I became more tired. This basically caused me to veg out watching TV for damn near the whole 3.5 hour waking period. I really need to focus on getting up and moving if I'm to survive the impending "zombie phase" that I hear about.
8:00 am - This nap was so-so. I fell asleep, but only for a little bit. I did, however, wake up refreshed and fairly energetic. I basically just worked from 8 - 12, so nothing too exciting happened. I did start to feel tired right before the noon nap, which helped in falling asleep for it.
12:00 pm - Slept pretty well. This is usually the time when I'm waking up on weekends and falling back to sleep because I just want to, so I kind of give some credit to those skills kicking in. I watched more TV in this time frame because tho I slept well, I still felt kind of tired. I haven't quite gotten back my desire to go out and do things yet and I suspect that won't be coming back anytime soon (at least without forcing it).
4:00 pm - I'm starting to get the hang of falling asleep on command. I've developed a certain strategy in sleeping which allows my body to go into that super relaxed state right before you fall asleep. This has NEVER worked before on a monophasic sleep schedule, so I'm surprised it's working so well now. Perhaps my body is already adapting. I haven't quite mastered it yet though. I can get to the super relaxed state, then I lose concentration and get brought back to a conscious state of mind where I feel much more awake.
Anyway, this time slot was filled up with shopping with the g/f and getting food to stock the fridge. This was also the first time when an impending nap had to speed up the rate in which we needed to get things done so I could get home. Basically this was the first time a nap has hindered my life. It wasn't bad this time because we didn't need to rush that much, but it is still a sign of things to come. I suspect in the future I will have many times where I will need to choose between skipping a nap or inconveniencing myself greatly to take one.
8:00 pm - Last nap of the day. Got home at like 7:50 pm, so cut it a little close. I slept like a rock this time. It was fantastic. I woke up extremely refreshed and the most energetic I've felt since I started. Watched a lot of season 2 of True Blood with my g/f (one of the few shows she really likes) and ate one of the healthiest meals I've had in a long time. It was basically a platter of green apples, Gruyère cheese, and baguette, as well as pita and salami dipped into a red pepper hummus. SO tastey...
Overall, things are going 100x better this time around. Of course this is only day 1 and day 2 is usually the worst day, so we will see how that goes, but I am optimistic. I don't really have a whole lot of new insight into how uberman is changing my lifestyle, so I will leave it at this for now. Be sure to check back tomorrow at around this time for the day 2 update.

Epic Fail...
So my mind got the best of me during my 8 am nap... I woke up on time, was feeling fine, but my girlfriend was sleeping there and all I wanted to do was stay there with her. I ended up making some stupid rationale for why I didn't need to do polyphasic sleeping yet and that I could try again later. Because this was the first day and I doubt I made any progress as it is, I will be starting over again tonight at midnight. I feel really dumb for giving in to my mental urges, but at least I now understand what the mind is capable of doing when it's tired...
Uberman - Day 1 Recap 6/20 -> 6/21
Today is a short day as I started my first nap at 4 pm. I will usually do recaps in 12 am - 11:59 pm days, but Day 1 and 2 will be a bit off because of the random start time.
Anyway, so far so good. It is currently 5:10 am and I feel fine. The 4:00 pm nap went ok. I napped for maybe 5-10 min, which was surprising considering I got 9 hours of sleep that day.
The 8:00 pm nap also went the same. I think I may have gotten closer to 5 minutes of sleep during that, but was in that state of mind where you are mostly asleep, but still conscious.
The 12:00 am nap was the worst. I was restless and couldn't keep my mind quiet. I am a night owl by nature, so I expected this going into it. I got no sleep and couldn't even make it to the aforementioned midway point between awake and asleep. It was bad. Because of that, I was much more tired throughout the 12-4 am time period. This especially hit right around 3:00 am and the last hour until the nap was a little tough, but manageable.
The 4:00 am nap was great. I fell asleep in around 5 minutes and slept like a baby until my alarms went off. I, of course, didn't get REM sleep, but it still refreshed me some. I'm reserving working out for when I get tired so in the mean time I will just play some video games, watch tv, or possibly start storyboarding the novel I want to write.
Overall, I'm very happy with the first day. I haven't had any major difficulties staying awake. This whole time paradigm thing is already hitting me though. I forgot to brush my teeth around 1 am (when I used to go to bed monophasically) and didn't get around to it until 5 am when I finally remembered. I'm also going to need to remember to change clothes. I've been sleeping in my shirt and socks in an attempt to keep from getting TOO comfortable, so I need to remember to change them out.
It's also very weird being the only one awake right now. My girlfriend is in my room sleeping and room mate is in his room sleeping. Usually my room mate is the night owl (he stayed up until 3 am), so it's weird being awake longer than him.
I'm also noticing a spike in my desire to do things I wouldn't typically want to do. Things like organizing my desk, clean the dishes, or clean up my room. This may be because I mentally prepared myself to find ways to stay awake, but as tiredness becomes more prevalent (which it is as I'm writing this), I just get this subconscious desire to do something lame like that over playing a fun game or something. Maybe I will get into a good habit of cleaning up because of this, maybe not. It all depends on how well it sticks after the adaptation phase.
For now, I need to stop writing. I am getting more and more tired as I progress through this and I don't want to get so tired I have to resort to one of my wakeup tactics. I will keep you updated on day 2, which I expect to be MUCH worse. That day will consist of the time between my 4 am nap up to 11:59 pm today.

The first day of Uberman!
Hey all,
So I finally got back from E3 yesterday and have decided to start the polyphasic sleep schedule today. I will be starting my naps at either 4 or 5 pm today (1 or 2 hours away). I'm still debating whether I want to do a 4, 8, 12 or a 5, 9, 1 schedule. I am leaning more towards the 4, 8, 12 because I really enjoy seeing midnight movie shows and this will allow me to sleep in the car or theater from 11:30->12:00 before it starts. I also would be choosing this because 5 pm is usually right around when I would get off work. On the other hand, 1 am times would allow me to hang out easier at night without having an annoying nap that breaks things up, especially if I was out at a bar or something. I honestly don't know which one to choose. I'm leaning more towards 4/8/12 because I just don't go to the bars that often and if I did, I could try pushing back the nap and see what happens (might be a good experiment).
Anyway, I will let you know how each of my naps goes and will also update with a recap of how I feel at the end of each day. I really hope all goes well. I'm taking a week off work to give the adaptation phase time to settle down. Here's to hoping all this preparation wasn't for naught. Wish me luck!

Viva La E3!
Hey guys, sorry I've been slow going with my postings. I've been really busy cramming some last minute stuff in for our game.
I'm currently in Los Angeles visiting on business to display my company's game at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3. So far it's been a blast! First day we went to Microsoft's Natal event in which they named their new device the Kinect. The show was awesome. Cirque De Soleil did a performance and it was all very very well done. One of the most surprisingly good shows I've ever been to. I did NOT expect that when I got there.
Going back to my preliminary measures though. So far so good-ish. I did have some caffeine Saturday because of the 12 hour road trip for day one. That actually a good experiment though. My body handled the caffeine much better than it usually did in the past. I didn't crash at all and I was awake nearly all day. For only a few days off caffeine, that was a huge difference. I won't be drinking anymore anytime soon though, so no more of that for me. I've already noticed a HUGE spike in overall feelings of health and wellness. I can fully function on 6 hours of sleep with no caffeine and no meat. I actually slept for 8 hours today and felt super groggy all morning. I think 6 hours is all I should be getting to be honest. That's all I probably will get this week as I will be doing a LOT of work for my company while I'm at E3. Maybe even less.
Anyway, for now, back to work. No more slacking off for me. I need to buckle down and focus. I will keep you updated with stuff about how the trip is going (if I have time), so stay tuned!
I'm currently in Los Angeles visiting on business to display my company's game at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3. So far it's been a blast! First day we went to Microsoft's Natal event in which they named their new device the Kinect. The show was awesome. Cirque De Soleil did a performance and it was all very very well done. One of the most surprisingly good shows I've ever been to. I did NOT expect that when I got there.
Going back to my preliminary measures though. So far so good-ish. I did have some caffeine Saturday because of the 12 hour road trip for day one. That actually a good experiment though. My body handled the caffeine much better than it usually did in the past. I didn't crash at all and I was awake nearly all day. For only a few days off caffeine, that was a huge difference.
