Day 32 - 2 Days is a row!

Wow, two times in a row,
Yep, I was up all night again. I skipped the dog today, because a friend was staying over night. Nonetheless I went out to do my weekly cleaning and this time my drowsiness went away after my ride with the bike to the first apartment. The rest of the day was no problem, although I was badly interrupted at my 3.20pm nap.

Now I wonder why I was able to do it two days in a row. Today was very similar to yesterday, in many ways. I had the same pizza and the same candies, and again I had a companion for the night. Maybe it's the food, maybe it's the good company, I have enough time to find out, what it is.

Day 31 - Yatta!

I did it. The night was mine, mine alone. I spent the whole night playing my new Oblivion Char and I was able to do so without any minute of oversleep. I took my 3.20 nap at my friends home and soon after it I went home. The 3.20am nap was always the biggest problem, but today I just rushed through it without any problem at all. Weird enough after all the pizza and candies.

Today my new bed arrived, well it's the same as before, but the old one just wore off so fast, that we had it exchanged. That combined with me new mp3 is just perfect so far. I cut the white noise out off my mp3, because I think that this constant input prevented me from dreaming. All the time I was using my first mp3 In never had any dreams at all. But after only two naps with my new one, I already had one. Too bad, since the white noise cut me off from the rest of the world and especially from my loud and noisy neighbours, who made me close my window every time I have a nap, until I used the white noise. I have to do this again now and I hate to sleep with all windows closed, but there's nothing I could do about it.

My meals last evening made me rethink my diet. The last time I was able to stay up all night was Sunday. And just like yesterday I had two warm meals, combined with a lot of unnecessary candies. So maybe part of my oversleep problem was that I did not eat enough. Maybe I just didn't have the energy to stay up at night. I will try to eat some more allover the day and especially some sugar at night. Let's see what this will bring.

Month 1

Finally, my first monthly report.

A lot of things happened and most of them were to my disadvantage. My Uberman sleep experiment started better than anything I had ever expected. The first week was so great, that I almost believed I could skip the adaption and go on being an happy Uberman right from the beginning. There was only minor fatigue at night and no problem at all to get up from my naps. Surprisingly this was the best week of all, and I still can't believe that, because everything I read points into the opposite direction. Maybe this week hyped me up so much, that I thought I could be more lazy about the whole experiment. Maybe I would be better off without a first week like that.

My second week was almost like week one, only worse. Not much, but it was not as much of a success as the first one, and I think I should have seen this back then. Maybe I could have prevented the following two weeks.

I still hope that the third week was responsible for what happened on week 4. I was out a lot, buying equipment for me new PC and I was very lazy to keep my sleeping times. 30-60 minutes was almost the standard and I thought it wouldn't have any impact on me.

In the last week, I slept almost as much as in my previous monophasic phase. Every night was a trial and most of the time I failed.

All of this happened so fast, yet I can't believe that only one month passed. If I think back I can really feel the time I had while sleeping in a proper Uberman way. In the first weeks I was with my friends almost 4-5 days a week and I still had lots of time for everything I wanted to do.


I was planning to do this at least for 2 months, and I hope that I will be able to stay with this course. If not, this will be a big failure, even more than the first month was. But after all I didn't lose the hope to adapt to Uberman, so I will go on.
