I have now been on the uberman sleep schedule for approximately a week. Thee have only been a couple of noteworthy things over the last 24 hours. One is that my 2:00 am bisect nap was interrupted by a small earthquake, and that I overslept during my 8:00 nap, resulting in a really tired/groggy feeling that I hope will go away soon.
As this marks the end of the first week, it is time to look back and analyze the happenings of the week. Considering how many oversleeps that I have had, in conjunction with how few incidences of REM sleep I have had, it is clear that my body has not yet truly adapted to the schedule. I fear that until the amount of REM sleep becomes more balanced, I will continue to oversleep or go through periods in which it is difficult to stay awake. This is a little disappointing of a result, in that i had hoped that my brain would have adapted faster than this and that my transition period would be coming to an end.
I have also not gotten as much work done as I would have liked. In the tired state that I have been in for most of the week it has been more difficult to solve complex problems than I feel it should have been. I find myself staring off into space for large periods of time without productive results. I will have to attribute most of this to my brain trying to adjust to the new schedule.
Despite the week's shortcomings, I have decided to continue the schedule for at least one more week and see whether things improve or not.
As per usual, I will post progress in roughly 24 hours.
