Triphasic Sleep: DDay +30 conclusion

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

This is a wrap up of the experiment around a month or so after I stopped. Stopping as in stopped trying to abide by a strict schedule. You see, I never went back to monophasic sleep. As things stand right now, my sleep pattern is what anyone would consider “completely messed up”. It is 4 AM in the morning and I am writing this blog post as refreshed as I will ever be. Is it a problem? Nope.

This is actually a healthy side effect I happily embraced after my sleep experiment. You see, I never went back to monophasic sleep and have averaged between 3.5 to 5.5 hours of sleep per day. The skill that emerged from the experiment is a skill that allows me to fall into deep sleep right away and naturally wake up after a set a mount of time. I let my subconscious decide, since it knows best which cycle I need.

The result also led me to believe that some of our groggyness in the morning are caused by our own thoughts. Whenever I get awakened now, I am comfortable enough to know that I am refreshed and I can fall right back to sleep if needed. I am not tired, nor do I ever think about being tired unless my brain start shutting down on me and I couldn’t remember the past 5 seconds. Being tired, is a state defined by human, from my point of view, there’s only degree of alertness and the different capabilities at your disposal with each state.

I’ve also begin a series of tests with my subconscious after this. It started with a joke when I “told” my subconscious that I want to naturally wake up in an hour. It still feels pretty freaky when I looked at the clock with dreamy eyes, wondering if I’ve been asleep for 25 hours.

To wrap it up, one quote from someone “I forgot who” is confirmed by all this. The busier you are, the more you get accomplished and the more sleep you get the more sleep you’ll need.
