It’s been one month since I made this website and started messing with my sleep. I can’t say I’m really polyphasic anymore, but I would hardly classify my lifestyle as monophasic either. I’ve become addicted to naps, and take them even when I’ve slept a lot. I also more often than not, stay up all night. None of this is really organized enough to call a sleep “schedule.” I’d classify my current sleep pattern as “in college.”

While I’ve failed yet again to adapt to uberman, I have learned some interesting and useful things about hacking sleep:

1. Once you’ve trained yourself to take them, short naps can keep you functional on extremely little/irregular sleep.
2. There is a lot of time in a day. Seriously. If you think you don’t have enough time, the problem is probably that you sleep.
3. While sleep does play an important role on memory and focus, staying positive, energetic, and physically active plays an even bigger part. If you are working on something that really inspires you, you don’t really need sleep at all.
4. Sleeping at night is boring.
