Is it purely for fun, or are you not aware of the science and therefore under the misapprehension that this could work?<br /><br />Just to give you the short of it: There is no free lunch. All the existing evidence shows that you cannot make sleep more efficient by spreading it out. In fact, you are likely to make it less efficient due to the inherent difficulties in sleeping at phases when your circadian rhythm is promoting wakefulness. Your particular schedule does at least conform to times when it is relatively easy to sleep (night and mid-afternoon). But 5 hours per day is simply not enough. The longer you attempt to stay on this schedule, the larger the chronic deficit you will accrue, and the more difficulty you will have in staying awake, especially in quiet or dark environments.<br /><br />For as long as you continue to do this, I have to strongly advice you against driving, especially at night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363619165261877311.post-33305055290768996282012-08-27T08:08:31.497-07:002012-08-27T08:08:31.497-07:00Well, it does completely change the parameters of ...Well, it does completely change the parameters of your experiement, and could in fact spell the end of the whole thing. <br /><br />You have your result, it is not possible for you to keep to such a rigid schedule, and by "sleeping in" on weekends you are adapting to a more manageable sleeping pattern. Your body is craving more sleep, and is making sure you get it.<br /><br />Nothing wrong with that, in fact it is healthy. But it does mean that your experiment has more or less failed.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363619165261877311.post-71445536015845010412012-08-13T07:03:04.781-07:002012-08-13T07:03:04.781-07:00That's true to a certain point; however I am f...That's true to a certain point; however I am following the protocol, just more loosely than I had originally intended. As far as the experiment portion goes, the results are very interpretable and there is much to learn, even if that includes that I can't follow the specific system. It's all new and something to learn from. Thank you for your comment though.CorbinWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02252576235960028207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363619165261877311.post-57078216405050044722012-08-10T16:57:21.087-07:002012-08-10T16:57:21.087-07:00You should be concerned.

If you can't follow a system, then you won't learn anything (other than that you can't follow a system).Jeff McNeillhttp://lonewolfseo.comnoreply@blogger.com
