Sleepless in SC

Sleep? Who needs it!

I'll admit, I don't sleep much; I find it a waste of time. Recently, I came upon an interesting post on Hack a Day which introduced me to polyphasic sleep. Basically, I'll be experimenting with taking 30 minute naps every 4 hours. In order to accomodate my normal schedule, I've chosen to sleep at 12am, 4am, 8am, 12pm, 4pm, and 8pm. I'll be sticking with this schedule for at least the next two weeks to see if it actually works.

In order to stay as healthy and awake as possible, I've added and removed a couple of things to my diet. I'll be taking a daily multivitamin, as well as extra fruit juices (particularly grape and apple), and upping my veggie intake (it's good for ya anyways, right?). I'm also staying away from anything with a lot of caffeine ('cause I hear it messes with REM sleep) and tryptophan (like milk and turkey which make you sleepy) at least for the first two weeks. Hope it goes well!
