The last couple of days have been incredibly unpredictable, to the point where I couldn't take it any more. Since Tuesday I have been on a steady and predictable monophasic cycle. *GASP!* It's not all that bad.
The reason why I switched was because I was losing the ablity to cram my naps in. And if you don't nap predictably on polyphasic, your just in sleep deprivation. I was also trying to shift the napping times over which I failed very badly at. I also couldn't keep up with the organisational issues. I wasn't even sure when or where I was going to get my next nap. With my napping unpredictable, my energy was too, that was torturous. Some hours, I was filled with energy, ready to do anything; On other hours I suddenly gained the incredible power to stare mindlessly at a wall for hours.
Although I just made everyman look bad, it's not. The only reason why I switched out was due to my inability to stick to the nap times, voluntarily or not.
Here's a log of my days
this is what it was supposed to be
3:00am-6:00am
12:00pm-12:30pm
5:30pm-6:00pm
10:30pm-11:00pm (If it's Friday sleep like a normal person)
Wednesday: the one day that's sane...
I had a "regular" cycle that day, the week prior had been hectic so this gave me a hope of re stabilisation.
Thursday: skipped 6:00 pm nap, slept in the middle of nowhere later...
I decided to go to my friends house, I attempted to nap there but it was too hilarious so I couldn't. I was very sleepy. Also some mysterious force (aliens?) beckoned me to go to a dark deserted place by a freeway around 8:00pm. It felt as if it was of vital importance that I lie there in the middle of the dirt. I had an epiphany of freedom (It felt like it at the time). So I did and lied there for an hour, then I left and the realisation seemed kinda stupid. (duped)
Friday: regular cycle but overslept on siesta at 10:30pm(F)(the longer nap)
This Friday I didn't actually want to sleep on the siesta, but I did anyway
Sturday: same thing as Friday
I felt that on this day my body was trying to force itself back onto monophasic.
Sunday: this day went normally but had a 11:00pm(S)-2:00am(S) siesta instead.
Due to me oversleeping on Saturday and Friday, I decided to move the siesta to 11:00, this was a smart move, but I couldn't handle it. especially with Monday's plan
Monday: Slept from 11:00pm-2:00am, skipped noon nap
I again slept from 11:00pm(S) to 2:00am(M) (more like 3:00) The extra hour was hard and I was very sleepy afterwards. After my morning nap(6:50am) I was filled with an excess of energy after that. I overslept the siesta again to 4:00am and decided to switch to monophasic, because it was simply too unpredictable now.
Tuesday: monophase with 4:00pm nap about 6 hours
I didn't have as much energy as I thought I would
Wednesday: monophase about 8 hours
regular person
Thursday: monophase about 8 hours
regular person
Now that I'm back on monophase, I will reminisce about everyman. The things I miss most is the ability to wake up really really early without much effort. Also the amount of time that I had in a day.
But despite monophasic being so ever stable as it is, there is one thing that is certain:
