A word on the Everyman (t-9d)

To follow Stryker's example, I'll begin by telling the details of my new sleeping schedule and then my own personal statistics.

I will be doing the Everyman sleep schedule.




Unlike Stryker, I will be using a "core nap". It essentially simulates the long sleep of a monophasic sleep pattern, and gets rid of the feeling of days blending together from the Uberman and Dymaxion.

It acts as the period that ends the day. Stryker will not have that period. We'll explore the results of that together as we progress.

The Everyman consists of a core nap, and a number of smaller naps throughout the day as a factor of that core nap. The guideline is three-and-three. Three hours core, three naps. And every hour you add/subtract you subtract/add a nap.

The positives of the Everyman over the other methods is that it is much more flexible, which is good for keeping up a social life. But it is unfortunately much harder to acclimate yourself to, so it may take longer for me to be back in working order.

Other information

I will be sleeping from 11:30 'til 2:30 for my core sleep, and then three twenty minute naps throughout the day. The first will be from 6:40 until 7:00, and the others are still being established. I need to find a convenient time, but I figure the other two will be around noon and 7:00.

I'm 17 years myself, and I'll be taking time off from work as well. Unfortunately I won't be able to start until the first of the month, as I've already taken time off for my graduation and prom.
To copy Stryker's format:
I don't take any medication.
I do wear specs, but only to see far away. I'm not as blind as he is :D.
I've typically slept 6-7 hours a night. But I'll be sleeping more leading up to the change.
I'm physically fit, because of a fast metabolism, but I don't work out or exercise as much a sI should. That will be changing.
I'm going to try to use Placebo's sleep track as an alarm to prevent myself from waking others in the house, but I'll set some extra to catch myself at first. I will also be using Placebo's track to time out my naps.


End notes

I'm going to be getting a journal of sorts and reporting in it on my sleep. Every time I attempt to sleep/wake up, whether it was by alarm or naturally, how I feel upon waking. I will be doing this as my primary activity upon awakening. I'll also try to jot notes throughout the day if anything significant comes up. The most significant data I will be posting here, and later on possibly scans of the book itself. We'll see how that goes.

I won't be updating frequently until I start, unless it's to comment on Stryker's posts, and I welcome him to comment on mine as well.

Sleep well.
