Weekend update

I have been sick. I think I ate something bad. It has been an interesting couple days.

I bumped my core shorter (like 1-7am) to try and help with recovery, and on Saturday I slept straight from my noon nap to the end of my 5 nap. Surprisingly all that extra sleep didn't throw the rest of my schedule off. I was still able to nap at my usual times. Saturday night I think I'm pretty much all better, and am dropping back to my usual sleep schedule. I slept an extra hour and a half on my core, as I'm committed to an event this morning, and I want to try just skipping my noon nap.

That will prove to be a bit of a complication on this sleep schedule. When I get ill, which is generally quite seldom, I think I'll have to adjust my sleep schedule dramatically to get over it. I just slept when I was tried, but tried to stay close to my nap end times. I think it worked reasonably well.

Some other polyphasic people I've talked to seem to live by a reset day, once every couple weeks or something, where they just sleep a lot more that one day. I'm not a fan of it, as I think it disrupts the schedule, and negates some of the benefits of Polyphasic sleep. However, if I get sick again in about 3 weeks, that may be a hint that I need to start scheduling something like that.
