So this is a pleasant surprise. I woke from my nap naturally, just before my alarm went off. No throbbing chest from shooting up in alarm (really, the idea of an alarm clock is a pretty good idea, but who thought of that loathsome sound?). And I felt so great that I went upstairs and started cooking deer tenderloins... and I don't cook. I feel awake, alert and "here". There is a slight fatigue in my body (a little in the head, mostly in my shoulders), but honestly, it is not nearly as bad as what I anticipated.
Some thoughts:
While most say the biphasic sleep is easier to condition to than other polyphasic systems (like Uberman or Dymaxion), I'm not too sure. With the other systems you don't get to sleep the entire 5 stage cycle, so you never get into deep sleep. When I did it for a few days before, it wasn't that easy to get up because I never actually felt like I was sleeping. However, now that I'm getting a full cycle, it makes me want to stay in bed and get more of that deep sleep. Uberman was definitely "harder", but at least I wasn't constantly reminded of how wonderful deep sleep is... Just some thoughts I wanted to post about.
