Biphasic: Day 20

I think the times attached to these blog posts is incorrect, so I apologize if the date doesn't coincide with the day number.

Missing out on naps really wrecks one for a few days. I'm getting my sleep like I usually do, but the last two days I've been exceptionally tired in the mornings. It will get back to normal, though. Well, relative biphasic normal.

I've come across some who have been following this blog and mentioned their sleep patterns. Some sleep as much as I do now, only monophasically, and continue to do so throughout the semester. My experimental mind wants to convince said persons to try biphasic sleep and compare the two, since the monophasic baseline of about 4.5 hours of sleep wouldn't factor into tiredness if one switched to biphasic. I think that given the same amount of hours, the biphasic pattern would provide more energy and alertness. However, it isn't always socially plausible, as I've found...

I'll be taking a trip to get bubble tea today with some friends. We will be returning before 4:30pm, but I may end up napping while they are over at my house, possibly playing games or watching shows. A biphasic lifestyle creates some odd moments. And makes me a terrible host.
