Day 3ย ๐ช
One of the most unique parts of this vlog is that I aim for it to document interactions between fitness and polyphasic sleeping, a topic widely wondered about and speculated toward that no one I can find has truly explored or tested.
As such, today was my first day going to the gym. I liked being able to go suuuuuper early in the morning and beat the crowd since all times of the day or night are pretty much equal to me. I found my motivation to go was significantly lowered due to fatigue and even though I did make it there, I would not have had the energy for one of my usual weight training days.
Still, once I was out and about I found I had plenty of energy to give. I tested my strength, concentration, and coordination with handstand practice. My longest hold was about 15 seconds. This is a normal hold-time for me and tells me that if I choose to output my reserve, I could be fully functional. I believe I could have trained much harder than I did, though since Iโm still in the adaptation phase I am doing everything in my power not to accrue more sleep debt than is necessary.
My weight and body composition have not changed (of course, being only Day 3)
Boy, am I tired. Iโve laid down only 4 hours of the last 48 now. Lying down sounds sooo good to me. Luckily itโs daytime and I can leave the house to preoccupy myself.
I am falling asleep quickly for my naps now (under 1 minute each time) and still have yet to remember any of my dreams. I may not be getting my REM cycles in the 20 minute naps yet. Hopefully I will start recalling dreams soon. That would indicate to me that I am beginning to adapt my sleep cycles to suit the Uberman schedule, and is therefore a great milestone toward seeing firm progress.
