My last nap yesterday was at around 05:15. My plan was to sleep an additional nap during the night, but I ended up skipping the 07:00 nap altogether, since I didn't feel tired.
Today was supposed to be the worst day initiation phase (or so they said), and I spent it as I spend a normal day. I don't know what I'm supposed to think... Did I just skip the whole "getting used to it" section?
I watched another movie during breakfast - or whatever you call my meal that I eat when I would eat a breakfast normally. I'm still not sure about what I should do with my meals. Right now, My lunch and dinner are "normal", I have two toasts at around 03:00, and a bowl of cereals with fruits at around 07:00. When I'll be totally comfortable with polyphasic sleeping, I'll check what meals feel more natural to me.
I went to the Wal-Mart this morning, by foot. By now, I go by foot more for the exercise and ease of mind, and not because I'm scared to fall asleep behind the wheel. One of the things I bought was several packages of plastic containers. I decided to wash them all when I got back, but I underestimated how long it would take (took about 1.25 hours to wash the dishes). I was feeling the weariness creep in at around 11:30, but I continued until everything was cleaned, and went to bed at around 12:30. So far, I didn't perceive any drawback from stretching my waking time like that.
Recently, my 30-minutes naps felt very short. It usually takes me 10 or so minutes to fall asleep (I think - it's very hard to gauge), so when the alarm starts, it feels like I've been sleeping for just a few seconds. My 12:30 nap felt a lot longer - it's possible it's because I fell asleep quickly, but I don't remember.
I'm starting to remember my dreams more often when I wake up, but they fade very quickly. I'm eager to experience these lucid dreams - dreams where you are in control. I've only had one of those several years ago, and I didn't take the opportunity to explore the deepest confines of the dream world. Maybe it was a half-lucid dream?
So far, there were two naps when I woke up by myself. During one recent nap (last night), I woke up with 7.5 minutes still on the timer. I got the "I can go back to sleep" feeling and was feeling very good about it, even if it was for so short a time.
The remainder of the day (and night) went as usual. To be honest, this is getting redundant, so I'll post updates when there is something to talk about, or some insight I have come across.
