Triphasic Sleep Day 26

This is part twenty six of my Triphasic sleep experiment. Please visit this page for more info.

As mentioned in the previous post, I was debating whether or not to continue this after the 30 day trial. After weighing in the options. My decision is no.

The only pro of this is the extra hours. However, it doesn’t necessarily result in more productivity. I find that the extra hours are spent doing mundane things. Whereas when I actually have a good quality sleep, the work I can produce have more quality than on a Triphasic schedule. The hours makes your life pretty difficult.

It’s a great schedule, if you are not a professional like me who need extreme focus for a continuous uninterrupted time during the day. The sore eyes eventually killed it for me, since I cannot continuously work in front of a computer like I originally thought. I had to mix in different activities that are less strenuous on the eyes, which defeats the purpose of having more hours in a day. I can definitely see myself doing this, if I am a stay at home dad, or living on welfare, or if none of my activities involves a computer. Again, it’s up to the type of lifestyle you need to decide whether or not to stick to it.

What I gained from this? I believe I have more control over my sleep and am less susceptible to sleep deprivation. It is a great trip about learning as you can see from the numerous thing I’ve discovered.

Now, I have to try and get back to the original schedule. Just have to be more disciplined in being productive.
