Dag 3 fail

Ja, stor fet fail på det här!
Jag älskar tanken på att få mer vaken tid och sova lite mindre.
Men så var det ju så att när jag började i onsdags så var jag förkyld och mådde dåligt. Och jag blev sämre och sämre ju mindre sömn jag fick, suprise. Jag sov inte ordentligt på nästan 40 timmar. och ni kan ju tänka er hur jag mådde.
Inte så jättebra

Så igår kväll när jag skulle ta mina tjugo minuter somnade jag vid tio och vaknade upp dagen efter vid halv nio av att Lina stormar in i rummet och säger "Elin!! Du har missat frukosten"
Så efter tolv timmar sömn kände jag att jag måste få bli frisk innan jag fortsätter mitt projekt.

så håll till godo, om någon vecka är jag igång igen :D

Dag 1 kl 04.36

Snart är första natten avklarad, och den var piss svår!
Försökte sova mina 20 minuter vid nio, men misslyckades.
Vid ett var det dags igen, men misslyckades, så fortsatte att försöka, tillslut lyckades jag slockna. Efter 20 minuter ringde klockan och Johan var på mig att gå upp.
Jag ville bara döda honom och alla runtomkring och fortsätta sova. Men upp kom jag. Sen har vi suttit här och glott på film, käkat mackor, kollat lite mer på film och spelat lite boule.
Nu är det bara en halvtimma kvar tills nästa 20 minuter. Dom är tydligen de svåraste enligt Johan. Men just nu känner jag mig så trött så kommer hamna i den efterlängtade REM sömnen direkt. Sen får vi se hur jag klarar att gå upp.

Just nu tvivlar jag jättemycket om jag kommer orka, men vad Johan säger så är de två första dagarna värst. Men, jag försöker i alla fall!
Tiderna vi försöker hålla nu är 1, 5, 9 hela tiden. Det ska gå det här!

UberSleep Dag1

Okej, såhär är det! Johan har börjat med ett cool experiment som jag tänkte haka på!
Det går ut på att du är vaken 4 timmar och sen sover man 20 min, och sen börjar om igen! och så lever man livet.
Det kommer vara tufft den första veckan eller dagarna och sen efter 3 dagar kommer du slå in i en vägg, du kommer vara skit trött och dina tankar kommer bara snurra omkring.
Men! Det blir värt, fatta va mycket fler timmar jag kommer få på dygnet, sjukt coolt!

Det finns e snubbe som höll på med det här i 6 månader, och han skrev ner lite Pros and Cons. Jag skriver dom här, men annars finns det länk till allt han skrivit här

Pros

• 22 hours a day to get things done in! We felt like superman. Time-and-a-half college...homework done. Extracurricular activities? No problem. Part-time jobs? Easy. And we STILL went to nearly every party. My dorm room was spotless, I got lots done on my writing, and studying was a cinch when you could do it at Denny's between 4 and 8 a.m. ;)
  
• Lots of energy. I really was never tired; or rather, by the time I got tired, it was time for a nap. Overall, I was less tired on this schedule than I can ever remember being on any other, and the Uberman is not the only whacko thing I've tried, heh. (It is the only one I'd do again.)
  
• Occasional heightened perception at the beginning, and every once in a while throughout (might have just been the sleep-dep, and then the excitement).
• Easy to diet (in fact, hard not to lose too much weight...I lost 10 pounds right off the bat, and had to make myself remember to eat at least 4 meals in every 24 hour period after that, to keep my weight steady. I was relatively physically active during this period, but not actually involved in sports or anything.)
• Able to be up at night without missing out on daytime (probably the single biggest reason I did it...I'm a night-owl perpetually stuck on a day schedule!)
• And a big one: Evaporation of sleep disorders. At the time I started this schedule, I was sleep-walking, talking, had rampant recurring insomnia, nightmares, night terrors (try punching a cinderblock wall in your sleep...mmmm) and lord knows what else. All of them went away within the first week. And, oddly enough, they never really came back...I've had small bouts of one or another since then, but nothing like the hell that sleeping had been for me for a couple years before I tried this.
  
• Sort of like the last one, but more of a common man's problem: You won't get sore from sleeping. If you have neck, back or ligament problems, you know what it's like to wake up in agony...but you won't, when you've only been asleep for 20 minutes! Having neck problems myself, I really appreciated that.
• Really easy to do, once you get used to it. After about 2 months, N. and I didn't need alarm clocks; we'd look up about five minutes before naptime, realizing we were tired; we could crash out anywhere and wake up automatically at the right time. No tossing and turning, no thinking too much, and oddly enough, almost no dreaming. Just *wham* - lights out - and *ping* - lights on. I woke up totally refreshed after every nap, once I got used to the schedule.

Cons

• Boredom. I don't bore easily, having nearly endless reading, Internet, art, and organization fetishes; but if you do, you'll hate this. One of the crew trying it with me had that problem, and it looked like it really sucked. There ISN'T enough television to fill 22 hours a day. There's a reason this was a schedule preferred by mad genius types who did enough work to fill two lifetimes! (Side-note: When starting the schedule, for the first week or two, have a HUGE list of things to do ready. You'll be so tired you can barely think, so things like cleaning / organizing, walking, going to social events and outdoors, and art projects are all good. I had a list of over 100 items to get done, and I got them all done in six days! ...But I'd probably have been screwed without that list, because without things to do, it's nearly impossible to fight that kind of tiredness.)
  
• Really hard to get used to. Takes a week or two to get even slightly comfortable with, and during that week or two you feel like a bus is perpetually running you over. Having to drive or work during that time would be HELLISH -- but I did it while going to school and didn't die; it just sucked. ;)
  
• Hard to maintain. Requires absolute attention to nap-times; missing naps and/or oversleeping, even once, will seriously screw with you. Out of the fifteen or so people who ended up trying this, about 12 of them dropped out within the first month of starting, because they gave in to oversleeping or missed a nap or two and couldn't catch back up.
• Difficult to adjust around things like job-changes, illness, travel, etc. Not as difficult as you'd think, maybe, since you have to remember that you (well, I, at least) could sleep *anywhere*, and sleeping only takes 20 minutes, so it isn't that hard to get someone to watch your shit in the airport while you snozz in a chair. But a significant disruption might throw you off, and once it does, you'll be tired for a few *days* while you get back on track. Another thing to mention is that the *times* are very important; you can't just decide to take one nap ten minutes late and the next ten minutes late too, to keep up the four-hour ratio. We found this out the hard way: Once you settle on times to sleep, you'd better stick right on them. If you take one nap late, take the next one *on time*, and get back on track asap.
  
• And a weird one: It gets hard to keep track of what day it is. We ended up having to invent names for night-times, and have fourteen-day weeks. Because when you're up and moving at 3 a.m. every day, and then still up and moving at 3 p.m., when does Monday end and Tuesday start? Trying to divide it up over one naptime, or at midnight, just didn't work for me. We don't realize, I think, how much sleeping in a long chunk pushes the "Reset: New Day" button for us. You lose that with this, and it can get confusing. Naming the nights working great for me, though. If you don't like being on the same page as the rest of the herd...well, this isn't for you; but I'd think that would be obvious!

Det kommer säkert bli skitsvårt i början att anpassa sig, men jag måste bara pröva. Det är ju världens grej verkligen!
