Whoo-hoo! back to polyphase!

I honestly thought that I would want to be on monophasic for a much longer time. Something like 2 weeks to a month. But then I was like "Nah, screw that" and was back in a jiffy. (1 jiffy =5.492 days)

But this time I redesigned the schedule to better match my needs:
* I want to fit my schedule into reliable places where I don't have to skip them.
* I don't want to sleep in on my lunches so I'll have a break between breaks.
* I want to be able to watch a movie with my family, because they do that a lot.
* I want to be awake when I'm awake and sleepy when I'm sleepy.
* I want to retain a polyphasic schedule.

I couldn't do dymaxion, or uberman because they don't give you stages 1-4, of when attempting them in summer, I learned were necessary. Also both of these can't span the 8 hour period of sleepless school.




So I had to do a schedule with some kind of core which leaves me with biphasic, everyman, and triphasic.





Biphasic wasn't polyphasic enough so I didn't want that.

I've never really heard of triphasic, but assuming it's viable, it wouldn't work in my life, because I don't know how I would fit the 90 minutes in after school. (Also I asked my friend how he does triphasic. He said, "I sleep monophasic like triphasic". So no go over here.)

This left me with plain old everyman. But this time I changed it slightly so I wake up right before school starts and I sleep right when it ends. That way I don't have to sleep in at lunches. Also, due to it being so similar to my previous engrained schedule, I can now switch between them with relative ease.
