Polyphasic Sleep: Day 7 morning

A setback. I pushed my 3 a.m. nap to about 5. Following that was basically a long sleep interspersed by my 25 minute nap alarms. I would wake up, read something on HN, then slip back to sleep. Wake up, check my mail, have a conversation on irc, then fall back to sleep.

This odd limbo of pseudo-wakefulness lasted til 11:30 a.m. At that point my 11:30 nap alarm went off and I woke feeling normal.

So, 2 cycles were wasted. Not by an entirely monophasic chunk of sleep, but by a weird half-way point of total uselessness.

I'm curious to see what the after-effects will be. I'm skipping my 2 p.m. nap because there's no point in closing my eyes for half an hour.
