Polyphasic Sleep: Day 6

Nothing really to report. Today was a perfectly normal day except for sleeping in the form of 20 minute naps. No illucidity, no grogginess, no odd side effects.

Boring, really. The pre-nap meditations work well. I find the best way to get a successful nap is to meditate about 20 minutes before taking the nap. Meditate, then write down all the odd brainfarts you got, stretch, piss, and settle down for a nap. It clears the head of all the crap that would otherwise be flying around while trying to sleep, and seems to send a powerful "SLEEP NOW" signal to the body.

I may experiment now with bright lights after each nap. During the day, maybe go outside for a walk after each nap, etc.
