Body Hack - Biphasic Sleep Log 1

Here is my first vlog about my shift from a monophasic sleep cycle (sleeping once per day) to a biphasic sleep cycle (sleeping twice per day). I am basically doing this because I am much more productive at night which is very important to me since I work on things outside of my day job.

Dude, what does your girlfriend think about that???

[shaykai]

She actually loves it. She regularly stays up till 1 or 2am naturally and I was always having to go to sleep by 11pm since I had to work so early.

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.

Thanks-

Ninja marcus!

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!

damn you have gotten alot more ribbed since the old knife throwing days

[shaykai]

Lol thanks, Boxing, Jiu-jitsu and Krav Maga will do that ;-)

Ironically now that I know HOW to fight, I would never throw a knife in self defense unless I was using it as a distraction so I could run away.

[longlivetheroses]

about the water thing i drink a lot of it to every day was all ways pissing none stop but then i cut out sugar and now its fine

[warrgrave]

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).

[Paeganluvin]

You made another peace sign!  Haha!

[stardarkstar]

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.

[Skormm]

When I have nothing to do I'm up 'til about 4-6 am and sleep til noon, but when I have stuff to do I'm up until about 3-4 and sleep until about 8-9.

You look pretty tired and you NEVER drink anything, including water when we hang out. Glad you're downing the fluids. Had me a bit worried ; )
