Biphasic sleep : Day 5

Biphasic sleep : Day 5Overslept again. This time only by one cycle, but I am starting to wonder whether it would be useful to add another 90 or 180 minutes to the total sleep each week - probably by extending the main sleep on Sundays. As I'm possibly still in the adaptation phase (I still rely on the alarm to wake me up) I'll give it another week or two before making any tweaks like that.

Following nap

Although I left the nap until 20:30 (by which time I was beginning to shift into zombie mode), I found it a little difficult to fall asleep. My head was filled with thoughts not of what I would do tomorrow, but what I would do in 90 minutes' time. Once I did fall asleep however (probably by around 21:15), I slept deeply. The alarm sounded frustratingly soon.
