yeah i cant sleep at night..i dont no what it is insomnia or something but im always most creative and productive at night also.. most of the time i come up with new songs late at night....also i think their was a study done that says between 12 and 2 in the morning is when your brain is most creative or active(sleeping or awake).
Hey Shaykai! glad to see you're still around. Wow 2:30am to 6 am and 2 30 pm to 6 pm that's four hours each. i think i'm going to have to do that too with the way how my class schedule is. that's great you're eating healthy my family's diabetic. but i'm getting a head start in eating healthy so i don't wind up like them. i have a cantien too but only use when it's super cold in the morning. I put hot tea or hot chocolate in it.
Well... you know sleep deprivation sets in and you start wasting a lot of time doing nothing. I gave up there. But what you're supposed to do is sit through it and slowly but surely your body will adapt and allow you to go into REM faster which is what you're missing if you're just starting this program, causing you to feel terrible. Not saying that REM is the only important phase of sleep, each phase is important in which chemicals are released into the brain.
Hey ben it's your old friend! haha. But seriously I've been thinking about doing this,but as my rival your always one step ahead! But for cereal this time, Are you a light sleeper? cause I live with a bunch of people, and I'm a pretty light sleeper? and does this affect your social life at all or do you just work people into your busy scedule? Depending on your next vlog, i might try this.
I'm an average sleeper I would say, not light, not heavy, although I do have the ability to sleep pretty much anywhere and at anytime regardless of whether or not I am really tired. So far I'm still on the first week and it doesn't seem to effect my social life much. My afternoon nap takes place between 2:30pm and 6pm which is when most people are getting off work, so I am awake if people want to hang out in the evening. I will let you know how it goes Marcus!
It's still fun to do for sport though. pretty cool. I kinda do the same thing. I go to sleep about 2 wake up a little later maybe around 7-8 than I just go to sleep when I get tired mostly around 3-5 and wake up about 7-8. I find that I am more awake to handle task everyday cause I rest my body more often but in smaller increments if that makes sense. good luck and the water does help.
roflmao 1 thing ive learned from my martial arts is alot of it is designed to be used agiasnt people who are also doing martial arts like the throws and grappels and stuff mainly due to the stances your oponant is standing in during training so its a bit redundant in places but never the less a good use of time, cant eat throwing a knife and legging it though lmao
Nice to see someone blogging their new sleeping paten. Interesting. Had been thinking of doing something like that. but just have not got a round to it. Good stuff. :)
Man, I did the same exact thing for this last school year. Very similar times. I'm a night person and I'm tired as hell when I wake up at 6 for school lol. Deep sleep is depraved.
yo shaykai! ever go to happy donuts? on el camino... they always make fresh donuts around 12 to 1 in the morning! a very good donut shop u should check it out if ur a night owl like myself!
Actually I have been there, are you talking about the one in Palo Alto? I used to live around the corner from Gunn highschool so I went there a couple times. Although no donut shop compares to the happy donuts on winchester in campbell! Seriously, you should go and get the donuts with the white frosting, simply amazing!
exactly the one im talking about i normally go to the one in palo alto! ive never been to the other one though... interesting ill have to check it out! thanks
I got one of those cantines and had to piss a lot as well! LOL glad i'm not the only one. I thought i'd have to go to the doctors but you saved me a trip!
Haha yeah, my friend says that after a week or so your body adjusts to the extra water. I'm still in the first week though so I have to go to the bathroom a lot!
Very, very interesting. I'm always had trouble with a monophasic sleep cycle, just never really got the hang of it. I would love to try to switch over to biphasic cycle, but bad things go wrong when I don't get enough sleep.
I'm excited to see how it works out! Keep us updated!
sounds like a cool idea for you man. i used to work night shift and tried lots of different sleeping patterns, but i have found that nothing compares to 7 - 8 hours sleep during the night time.
when u said u had been awake for 10 minutes and that u were "very awake" thats coz u didnt get into a deep sleep, where you get the most rest, the same will probly happen with your night sleep. but if you keep at it your body will adjust, but dont expect it to happen in a week or 2, it could take months.
Thanks for the advice Skr3wson87, so far I'm feeling pretty good about it but the true test will be how I feel in a week or two. Right now I could just be surviving on 'minimal sleep' and my body is confusing being rested with being refreshed. We shall see!
