Everyman sleep schedule

So I have officially decided that I am going on the Everyman sleep schedule. So if you asked tomorrow what my schedule is, I will tell you what time my naps are.

In short, the Everyman sleep schedule is a form of polyphasic sleep. Polyphasic sleep is just what it sounds like, sleep in multiple phases. The most extreme form, Uberman sleep, is made up of 6 20ish minute naps spread out through the day. The Everyman schedule is a modified version of that, and is less extreme at about 3-4.5 hours of core sleep each night, with about 3 naps of 20 minutes throughout the day.

I’ve decided to try getting 3 hours between 3AM and 6AM, and getting my 3 naps at meal time. Depending on how I feel, I might switch the morning nap to late night.

Some of you may be asking, “Timmy, why the drastic change,” and I will reply “Friend, this is not drastic at all. My life has been sort of like this already, and I am just formalizing it.” Generally my life consists of 6 hours of sleep, and a nap during the evening. Sometimes I will be working, look at the clock, and exclaim, “Holy skamoly, it’s 3AM!” Then I’ll sleep for about 4 hours, wake up, and take 2-3 naps during the day. So it’s not that big of a change for me. I just have “scheduled” nap times. So if I tell you that I can’t fit you in at a certain time b/c that’s nap time, I’m not lying.

So here is to day 0 of the Everyman sleep schedule. And every good action needs goals. Here we go:
1) Get more HW done in a quality manner
2) Look through more photos
3) Professionalize website and various other online presences
4) Start to work out regularly.
5) Read the Bible / pray more

We’ve got a plan, we’ve got goals. And off we go…
