Uberman Sleep Day 9: Damage Control

Ok everyone I need to stop this 4am oversleeping.
All of my naps are working fantastic except for my 4am nap. I’m really enjoying the extra time so much and i feel so much more healthier and less groggy. But every single day i oversleep my 4am nap by 20-50 minutes. Even with 2 alarms and a friend to wake me up i still oversleep. I turn off my alarms and convince my friend that it is ok for me to go back to sleep. From now on i will not sleep in my bed i will sleep on my couch at night. i will have 3 alarms and i have taped 2 of them so that i can not turn them off. I may be able to hit the snooze but it will go off every 10 minutes for an hour.

Within the next 2 weeks if i am not seeing any progress at all i am going to ditch Uberman for the time being and try to adapt to a Dymaxion schedule. Which is sleeping 30 minutes every 6 hours. Within 3 weeks of adapting to that if i see no progress then i will attempt The Everyman Schedule with a core sleep of 90 minutes and a few 20 minute naps during the day. And then if That doesn’t work. I will go back to attempting Uberman. Pretty much I’m saying that i will not give up on any of these because after experiencing how i feel without being Monophasic. I will find some sort of schedule that will work for me. Because I’m sick and tired of sleeping for 8 hours and waking up with no energy and feeling like crap for hours upon hours.

Later tonight i will update everyone on whether or not i oversleep my 4am nap or not.
Wish me luck.

– Brendan
