I am back to square one… I wasn’t able to fall asleep during half of my naps. I feel pretty good, but I pretty much feel the same as I did the first day I started. I’m going to stick with it. I think the structure of life at school will work better in terms [...]

Today started out looking pretty grim, Even after the sun came up, I was still so tired that I sat in front of my computer for about 10 minutes doing the head-bob. Finally, I say to my body, “Fine! You gonna be like that? I’m taking a MORNING RUN, bitch) I’ve never gotten up in [...]

Today has simultaneously been the most and least successful day during the adaptation. This morning I felt so fantastic I worked out a little more enthusiastically than usual and beat my all-time high score for push-ups by five. Notice, that this is objective evidence that uberman is actually giving me more energy, rather than just [...]

I spent most of last night scouring the internet and reading… The same guy who blogged about his successful transition into uberman is also behind a massively successful self-help website, www.stevepavlina.com. He has some really wise things to say… and some really quirky new-agey things too. The article 10 Tips for College Students has some [...]

This morning I had my first Uberman “heightened sense” experience. I woke up from my 9:30 am nap utterly filled with energy. I must have gotten some pretty solid REM because I had a couple dreams. I doubt I was functioning above 80%, but it felt like I was at 150%. It’s such a strange [...]

Now that I’ve finished with the core functionality of the website, I’ve found I no longer have a project to fill up the time. I spent most of the night practicing violin badly and reading up on polyphasic sleep. Buckminster Fuller reportedly successfully followed a four-30-minute-naps-a-day cycle. He said that we get short term energy [...]

The sun broke through my window this morning to find me sitting on my bed typing away on my laptop. I’ve gotten occasional onsets of bad drowsiness, but they only last for about an hour and then go away. I tend to get tired at the 2nd or 3rd hour of any given awake-block. I [...]

So far I’ve been three days on the uberman schedule and it seems to be working very well. I’ve heard it’s easier to adapt the second time around–I’m finding that to definitely be the case. I’ve been hitting pretty deep sleep at almost every one of my naps. I think my last attempt coupled with [...]

I figure if I’m going to become more serious about CS, it’s about time I get my own website and blog. I recently got back from Chicago where I was living with my brother and doing ruby on rails web development for a startup called Inventables. It was a great experience–I learned much about writing [...]
