I’ve Been Out Sick
Posted: February 27, 2010 at 7:38 pm | Tags: alcohol, when under the weatherI think you may remember that my daughter had a cold if you have been reading this blog.
Well, guess what? That cold was caught by me and my wife and then it kinda changed and then my daughter caught it again and then I was the last one who had it. And then, guess what, it almost cleared up for me and then turned into an ear infection and then it’s turned into a cough and now my daughter has it again. Oh my.
Needless to say, I’ve been so paranoid about not getting well that I have gone back to my normal sleep schedule and still taking naps most times just to keep my body semi-conditioned.
I have learned two things.
One is that it’s NOT that hard to do a Dymaxion schedule and the other is that you can’t drink alcohol and expect Dymaxion to work. It just puts me under and I can’t get a short nap.

Hello! I have been attempting to adjust to a dymaxion sleep schedule since mid-December, and it’s been an extremely difficult process, especially with the holidays. Not to mention, it’s difficult for people to understand why I’m trying it. If I tell anyone about it, I typically receive disapproving looks, so, I give you a lot of credit for attempting a polyphasic sleep schedule. I’ll be keeping track of your progress.
Good luck!
Well, they say it’s not the easiest, but I think it’s doable. My only problem has been having to deal with colds that don’t want to seem to go away and also getting enough sleep. I don’t think that I yet dare to use polyphasic sleep to get enough sleep to recover. The other parts about it aren’t so bad. I just try and nap when it doesn’t interfere.
For example, my latest schedule is 10/4/10/4 so that means that I go to bed at a normal time, nap when I normally sleep, nap in the late morning and nap in the late afternoon. That’s not too disruptive. My social life (what there is of it) doesn’t interfere.
