This will quite possibly make me more insane than I already am.

Polyphasic sleep, google it. I intend to take a 30 minute nap, every 4 hours. According to the internet, after I adjust everthing will be fine. Here I will document my progress.

I think I read about that on cracked. Sounds too hard to get into for me.

Raya on Thu Apr 08, 2010 8:33 am

There's no way I could do this. Even when I'm sick and exhausted I can't sleep during the day. It's like my brain is going "It's light outside! Go and FROLIC!"

Good luck Hans! You'll either become a super-charged human being or a wreck. If the latter, I look forward to reading your sleep-deprived posts!

this is going to be interesting Razz

and entertaining

Fedaykin on Thu Apr 08, 2010 8:47 am

that's a very interesting concept! I just have one serious concern: how the hell will you be able to adopt to regular daily activities like school? I see no problems,when you have got nothing to do,but it would look quite strange if you take a nap during a lesson.What's your plan about that?

SurgePox on Thu Apr 08, 2010 9:52 am

You are gonna hurt for the first ten days. Your brain will hate you, and you will hate everything. Does your day even afford you the type of schedule to take a 30 minute nap at regular intervals?

Hans on Thu Apr 08, 2010 11:35 am

Well, I have 10 days until I go back to school, I figure once I adapt to dropping straight into REM sleep, I'll be able to fit in my 30 minute nap at lunch and before school. I intend to sleep at 4:35, 8:35 and 12:35. (AM and PM) I'll be able to shift the times 10-30 mins, I think.

Also, if this doesn't make me go Super Saiyan, I don't know what the fuck will.

SurgePox on Thu Apr 08, 2010 11:37 am

Good luck napping during lunch at school.

Hans on Thu Apr 08, 2010 11:38 am

Day 1:

It's currently 3:37 am, bout an hour until my first sleep. Watching Dragon Ball Z and talking to Gray Sky. Vegeta just went super saiyan and ripped off Android 19's arms.

I know, I've tried too, but my school is a farm as well, worst comes to worst, I wander off a little bit.

Hmmm, maybe.... maybe... (this is my serious contemplation face)

It gets easier each time you accomplish it.

At this point I'm pretty sure I could sleep through a prison riot.

This is going to be such a bad idea. Also tell gray I say hi. :3

Gray says hi, also, how could this possib- (breaks fingers before completing cursed words)

Did you at least ask your parents if you could try this so they know they might have to take you to the hospital? Like, I'll stop trying to talk you out of this after this, but, like, you're still young and growing, your body needs that sleep. At the very least, wait until you are a full adult before attempting this.

Smashy B on Thu Apr 08, 2010 11:54 am

My friend told me about this sometime ago, and though I have no problem napping in class (seriously, something about a desk makes me zzz), I can't really do the scheduling. However, I've been doing a different sleep patter lately and without really trying that's been kinda working. Get 4-5 hours of sleep at night, and take a 3-4 hour nap when I get home. Speaking of which...

Hans on Thu Apr 08, 2010 12:01 pm

Surge, if I start to feel I can't cope, all I have to do, is lie down. Worst that happens is I suffer a little exhaustion or insomnia.

Also, fuck that, I ain't waiting 3 years to try this, in three years I'll be smart enough to think it's silly.

Nap time in 25 minutes, time to get comfy.

SurgePox on Thu Apr 08, 2010 12:45 pm

inb4 hans accidentally sleeps 8 hours.

TheTJ on Thu Apr 08, 2010 1:02 pm

Hey HANS! It's been a half hour!

WAKE UP!

SnakeInABox on Thu Apr 08, 2010 1:04 pm

This is great. I admire your work ethic.

Hans on Thu Apr 08, 2010 1:06 pm

Day 1, 5:05 AM:

My first nap went pretty damn well, I feel pretty good right now. So far as keeping myself occupied goes, I have 200+ more episodes of DBZ to watch, Pokemon Heart Gold and Sapphire, quite a bit of schoolwork, and whatever projects I may undertake during the next week. Oh and, these forums, as well as whatever PC games I may pick up.

TheTJ on Thu Apr 08, 2010 1:14 pm

Oh... You actually woke up.

...Good job then! To tell the truth, I've always wanted to try this, but my schedual doesn't really allow it. I've got things to do that require me to be awake for 9 hours straight. (Most recent was a Lord of the Rings marathon, but still...)

Anyway, kudos!

Hans on Thu Apr 08, 2010 2:18 pm

Day 1, 6:17 AM, 2 hours 17 minutes till next nap:

Thanks for the props, I felt really shit after 10 minutes from waking up, almost drifted off twice, but I held strong. Now that the sun has come up, staying awake should be easier.

Reading is a definite no in terms of keeping me awake, too much strain on my eyes, and not enough stimulation.

For now, I think I'll do a little tr_aim in tf2.

7:33 AM, 1 hour 2 minutes till next nap:

Well, I don't know how I'm going to get to sleep right now, my mind feels totally alert, my eyes on the other hand feel a little heavy. Time for more soothing DBZ.

SurgePox on Thu Apr 08, 2010 4:33 pm

Your next nap should be any time now. Don't fuck up.

Sanosukesama on Thu Apr 08, 2010 5:15 pm

Think I read somewhere that 'power naps' are good to have because that jolt or spasm you get right when you wake up injects your body with adrenaline to keep it active.....something like that? Is this like taking a bunch of power naps for 45 mins. - an hour throughout the day...?
