Biphasic: Day 16

It feels strange to keep a log of this sleep schedule now that I'm so used to it. I've been consistently going to bed at 3:00am and getting up at 6:00 rather easily. My one problem is that I misjudge time and think that I have enough time to go to bed and fall asleep before 3:00am hits. I'm used to being up till 5:00am or later, so I have to force myself to stop doing things and go to sleep. Often times, it's 3:15 or so until I really get settled in bed. My puppy has been sleeping in my bed recently, and though she often wakes me up in the middle of the night, I don't wake up feeling groggy. Quite the contrary, I feel absolutely incredible. I have so much energy and I just feel motivated to do things. This may be a result of other factors in my life and not a direct byproduct of the biphasic sleep, but this sleep pattern is definitely not hindering me.

I'll return to an exercise regiment starting tomorrow morning. It will consist of stretching, rebounding, then maybe light yoga. I've found rebounding is my favorite aerobic exercise; it's very low impact and is excellent in stimulating the lymphatic system. I don't think I'll be dreams from "lack of sleep" and pushing myself with exercise. I actually think it will help me to wake up and put those morning hours to work.

I've been awake for 9 hours already. And it is almost 3pm. And after my 4:30pm - 6:00pm nap, I'll have another 9 hours of waking time. I don't know if it is apparent or not, but I am very pleased with this biphasic sleep experiment.
