So far the day is going really well. Strong mental clarity. Finished reading Ubersleep, which was a great aid. Went through 40 Sleep Hacks, but it's really a hodge podge of stuff that mostly doesn't work together. The single page on polyphasic sleep was very brief and came up with the conclusion that because the majority of people who try to do this fail, it MUST mean human beings "just aren't wired for this." REAL scientific their guys. I guess as most people eat processed junk food, and just can't eat a healthy only diet it means human beings aren't meant to eat vegetables and fresh, unprocessed meat. Good to know. On the plus side, they provide some helpful links and, perhaps most importantly, a link to download a free copy of "Why We Nap" by Claudio Stampi, probably the most comprehensive and scientific analysis of polyphasic sleep. Thanks.
Jim (who works across the room from me) seems interested as I really haven't been suffering like we all thought I probably would be. I'm a little surprised myself that I've generally felt so good. If even I was at step 0 after yesterdays inability to get up for Block 2, I should still have been feeling more fatigue through all these stages. In fact, I definitely feel better today than I felt on Day 2, even if I never really felt as Zombieish as others have described themselves. Perhaps this is because I often don't get a lot of sleep, perhaps I have yet to see the difficult acclimation ahead. I stand vigilant, making no real assumptions, and ready for my body to turn traitor at any moment.
