Comments on: Polyphasic Sleep Experiment – Day Zero http://drewskwarcan.com/blog/polyphasic-sleep-experiment-day-zero/ I would say my greatest strength is probably data entry.

Crazy! I hope that this works out good for you, I read a little bit about it when Steve was doing it but never really understood it. As a college kid my sleep schedule is pretty random at times as class schedules differ each day. Good luck with this and I'll be sure to keep updated on your progress! -Chris Hughes Wow Drew, I just meet you and find out you are doing this! Crazy!

Any ideas? I hope people are enjoying the chart that I have been keeping of mental clarity, optimism, and the very scientifically named "want to sleep" index (hah!). Its pretty subjective, but its better than nothing I suppose. @John & @Jess - I'm hearing more and more stories of people who have attempted a polyphasic sleep schedule. It's cool to read other people's experiences to help prepare myself (mentally, mostly) for the adjustment period. I hope things don't get too much worse than they were this morning (I debated quiting - read about it in my "<a href="http://drewskwarcan.com/blog/polyphasic-sleep-experiment-%E2%80%93-day-two/" rel="nofollow">day two</a>" post) Thank you all for the “good lucks” – especially now, 48 hours into the experiment, I find your comments very encouraging.

I believe it was some sort of design firm in the Pacific NW allowing a few of their employees to try it out, complete with a napping room and flexible schedules. I'm pretty excited to see how this works out for you! I read about this last year, very interesting.
