Biphasic: Day 22

I woke up and decided to stretch to wake myself up, which turned into rebounding. While it did wonders for my energy, after my shower I found myself tired again, most likely because I wasn't keeping myself preoccupied.

These blog posts are automatically sent to facebook, and I've had a few people comment on that side. One commenter, a fellow polyphasic experimenter, gave me an idea that I think would make for a great experiment. During the upcoming semester I will stay biphasic for a month or so. Given that it would be plausible to change my pattern without devastating repercussions (I'd rather not fail a class for experimentation and curiosity....but curiosity is a powerful thing), I may attempt to switch back to monophasic, but keeping the 4.5 hours of sleep daily. It would be interesting to see how my body un-adapts out of biphasic, and if my energy/sleepiness/stamina and other various levels change. Further down the line, it would be interesting to see how difficult it would be to go back into biphasic again. Just some thoughts that could provide answers to biphasic sleep.

Another odd thought... Wouldn't it be interesting to see an entire town adjusted to biphasic sleep? I wonder how the job system and social system would change. Or the levels of productivity in said jobs. Just some of the many, many ideas running through my mind. At least biphasic sleep doesn't deprive me of analytical thought.

EDIT: I forgot entirely about siesta and the Spanish tradition of doing just the aforementioned. I wonder how much sleep is average in places that take a siesta. The modern siesta is only about 10-20 minutes of actual sleep, though, not nearly enough to complete a cycle. Questions, questions, questions...
