Dunno why, but that reminded me of:

lol. In any case the time tabling cock-up has finally been resolved and as of 7 pm yesterday the experiment has begun. First, some house keeping:

I don't know anything about health vs polyphasic sleep though, so I am interested in how it turns out for you Smile

In that case I apologise for the misconception and thank you for the support.

Here is the timetable I will be working around: http://personal.rjheywood.com/timetable.php

Obviously, I need to keep the sleeping pattern consistent so I need a schedule that can fit around Friday. The plan then is to get the core sleep for one to four AM and have naps at 9AM, 3PM and 8 PM. On Tuesday and Friday, the 9AM one will need to be shifted back an hour to better fit the time table.

Code:
_   SSSSSSSSSSSSS                 V V?                      V                   V
0---1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---10--11--12--13--14--15--16--17--18--19--20--21--22--23--0
I had a little trouble adhering to this this morning. I went to bed at 1 and set my alarm clock for 4. Though it did wake me up I turned over and slept for another hour or so. I need to try harder to maintain this. The teething troubles should be over soonish though.

EDIT:

I've gotten up from the 9AM session, I don't feel as relaxed as I would have after a full night but I don't feel like I've only had a limited number of hours.
Hoi Zaeme.

Day 2:
I found it really hard sticking to the 4 am start again but managed to get up this time. I'm feeling very tired, but we knew this would happen.

The first 2 weeks will be really bad like that, but after that you get adjusted, and it is fine.
