Day 3

I am continuing to feel better than normal during the day time. It seems that when the sun starts to come up I start to become alert again. I remember this feeling from my first attempt. I had a great day felt more awake than I usually would. My brain is still not working at pre-poly sleeping capacity as I am sleep deprived. Before I started however I used to get sleepy after lunch or around 2 pm and now I don't feel that.

I started to notice a couple things that I should probably keep watching. The first is that my eyes are really sore. This is due to spending 8 hours on a computer at work and then another 8 at least at night. This is defininetly a serious concern with polyphasic sleeping if you work infront of a computer all day. Not only are you taxing your eyes extra hard but your not giving them the recovery time that they need. So do preventative eye care, take lots of breaks and do eye exercises like cupping. This all can be found with a quick google.

I was feeling some general body soreness as well. This probably is a combination of the little bit of Muay Thai from yesterday and spending 18+ hours in the seated position. I can feel it my back especially. I also started to feel this weird itch under my eye that felt like something was under the skin. I just ignored it and it went away after a while.

Tonight from 1-5 I was extremely alert for some reason. I had some of the same zombie episodes where I just kinda lost focus and found myself either staring at something or holding a random object and looking at it but I never really felt tired or like I wanted to get into my bed.

I was like what did I do that night then? I remembered I had spent most of the night working on my first post of the blog. I didn't realize how poor I was at writing until I started writing this blog. I am not saying that I can't produce a decent (by being in engineering standards) piece at the end of my process. Its that my process is just shitty. This could be partially a sleep deprived thing but thats probably wishful thinking. I will just look at the page and think of what I want to write, running it through my head like 8 times till it sounds correct. Like there is some ultimate way of writing that is the single right way. Finally when you get that one sentence that just sounds like your such a knowledgeble pretentious douche (you know, exactly the sound you have been gunning for) and then you start to write it get two words in and forget just how it was worded. Like Fuck common man that took me 20 minutes, so you end up doing what you do in the other aspects of your life. You end up settling with the less attractive friend of a sentence cause it's last call and realistically its still going to get the job done.
