Biphasic what?

Well I am not continuing this experiment at this time. I guess you could say my biphasic sleep experiment failed. I got tired of wasting time trying to get a nap before I left for work and I was too lucky to get much sleep when I got back at 6 or 7 AM, on a new schedule to even think of cutting it short.
From what I understand there is about a week phase or more of getting into the schedule and getting used to the biphasic schedule.
See earlier post "why I am trying this experiment" for details on what I've been up to.
Basically I'm doing a paper route with my son while still selling roses on weekend nights before that
etc..etc...
So it's a little too much to add in the experiment. Just wanted to tell you what happened with that.
But you know as rough as it's been I have really have had some enlightening experiences with this new ultra super busy schedule. It's like an experiment in itself and has had some interesting results. I'll tell you about it in my next blog. I have to leave now and deliver papers.

Until Later,
Claire

Day Two : Sleep Experiment

Well, not really happening..... I did not fall asleep until less than an hour before I had to go. I wasted a lot of time trying to sleep. I slept 6 or 7 hours in the morning though and boy did I need it.
I haven't given up yet though.

Later,

Day One: Biphasic sleep

Well it wasn't exactly as I planned. I was going to sleep the most time before I left, I hoped maybe 3 to 4 hours so I went to bed around 10PM, but I didn't fall asleep til around 12 AM. I had to get up at 1:30 AM. But surprisingly the hour and a half sleep was refreshing and I wasn't too groggy.
When I got back home at around 6AM, I went to bed at 7AM and woke up on my own without enough sleep around 10AM.
I do feel like a zombie today. It is supposed to take a week to adjust and it might of been a good idea to catch up on my lost weekend sleep first.
I'm going to go to bed pretty soon, let's see if I fall asleep...

Why am I trying this schedule??

Well number one if it was really possible to make more time in the day, wouldn't it be cool?
Another thing, I don't sleep so well anyway-who knows maybe it will improve my sleep quality.
What really started getting me thinking about it was this : I started doing a paper route with my son in the middle of the night. It's from around 2 or 3 to 6AM. This will really be fun on the weekends when I work til 3AM selling roses.
Why am I doing this, you may ask. Well my 18 year old son, Trevor, is very shy so it's really hard for him to go out to interviews for jobs. So I got this hairbrain scheme, yes kind of like Lucy(I even have the Cuban husband to prove it.) Anyway I got a job as an independent contractor delivering papers. I can hire anyone I want so I'm hiring him. But he doesn't drive yet, so we're doing it together for now. It was a crazy the first night doing that, I'll tell you. We weren't so good at it.
Anyway I was talking to my 19 year old son, Matthew, wondering how and when I would sleep
and he joked with me to try the sleep schedule he had told me about. And I of course thought "Wow, what a good idea!"

So that's why,

My biphasic sleep experiment. A way to to require less sleep and gain more time..?

Okay so first I'll introduce myself. My name is Claire Mesa. My main line of work is a rose seller in nightclubs on the weekend, this is my own home-based business though I must obviously leave home to do a major portion of it. I also wholesale roses to other rose sellers. I'm also starting some businesses at home, building my own websites etc... I'm not a web designer but I've found some great resources to build websites for newbies. I'll post more on the above later.
I'm also a home schooling mom, my kids are teenage and above.
Anyway I'm a super busy lady and my son Matthew told me about this wild thing he saw on the web where you can sleep 2 to 3 hours a day by sleeping around a half hour every 4 hours.
I began researching this and found there is also something called "Biphasic Sleep" wherein you break up your sleep into 2 segments-sleep 90 minutes at one point in the day and the 3 to 4 1/2 hours per night. Supposedly you will feel good on less sleep using this method after an adaption period of about a week.
So I'm using myself as a guinea pig and my first blogging subject will be letting you know how the experiment goes day by day. No hype, I'll tell you what really happens.
Today is Day 1 of the experiment of "Biphasic Sleep" and blogging as well. I'll be posting more information on how the first day went a little later.
Bye now,
Claire
