I did end up making to my 1am goal last night, actually 1:30ish. I have read that some polyphasers will take a weekend every now and then to sleep as much as they can. Although it's probably referring more to the Uberman sleepers, I decided to just sleep Saturday morning. I slept from 1:30am until 7am, when my daughter woke me up to ask for some help with the Wii. Of course on schooldays she never wakes up at 7am without some extra prodding, but on a weekend she magically wakes up early! I was able to get a little more sleep in between helping the kids until about 9am, when I decided to get up. So, in all I would say I got about 6 1/2 hours of sleep. That's the most sleep I've gotten in one chunk since I've started this little experiment.
It's probably a good thing that I got that sleep, because the painting that didn't happen last weekend because of my weird schedule, happened this weekend. We had Cesar Tonini from church offer to come help us paint at 11am. He was amazing! He stayed for about 5 hours, I think, and we got everything painted that we wanted, plus a little more. I decided not to skip out on the painting efforts for my naps. So, no 12pm or 4pm nap. Then we had some friends come over for dinner and games. It was lots of fun, so my evening nap got pushed back until after 10pm. Then I took 2 naps worth while everyone else was still playing. Sorry, I didn't get to say goodbye. By the time I got up again, they had gone home.
I was then able to stay up until 1am. Again, thinking about a shorter core, I set the alarm for 4am. I actually was up at 4, but decided to get the extra hour and a half that I'm used to. I got up at my usual 5:30am and decided to blog about it. So, here I am. I feel pretty good. The sun is just starting to light up the eastern skies, and that usually helps me to feel like I should actually be up. I think I will take my 8am nap today.
