Because the time is running out for this trip it is probably important that I complete the remaining days without mistakes. From the beginning, doing the uncomfortable yet guaranteed methods seemed like overkill. Anyone wanting to try polyphasic sleep should know that you can't only be uncomfortable by lack of sleep; you must also count on creating an uncomfortable environment for the wee hours of the morning, because when naptime rolls around you will crash like penguin in a thumb operated hang glider. Failing to wake when you should will only prolong your sleep dep and frustrate you enough to at least think about giving up, no matter how strong your resolve to succeed. It's very nice to have this blog and the people who doubt that this will work to goad me into continuing.
We played in 15-foot waves for the second day in a row. They are pretty exhausting and sure make the naps worthwhile.
The 6am through 2am naps where all right on time, and I was happy to finally hake made it through the 2:20am-6am period awake. I had set two alarms but only needed one, and I got up and walked around twice.
I had also set two alarms for the 6am nap, but I still had problems. I turned off the first one without getting up and I didn't hear the second one, so I slept until 8:45. Sigh. At least it was the 6am (which I don't have as much trouble with) and it was only 2 hours. Tonight I will add headphones and sleeping on the floor. I haven't been able to talk my brothers into it, but maybe I'll do it without their agreement.
