Hi, my name is Ben, and I'm an insomniac.

I should be in bed right now.

The all inclusive at this hotel ending at 11pm has returned my sleeping pattern to normal. For now.

It's almost 3:00 AM and I am still awake. I need to be up at 7:00.

What am I doing with my life?

[CommandSpry]

I fixed my sleep schedule, but I kinda miss not sleeping, haha. I should start staying up till 10 AM again.

I always have that goal and end up ruining it by giving into an afternoon nap.

Speaking of sleep though. My squadron likes to schedule flights that land at 2AM one week, and then the next week it ends up being 7:30AM.

I know not what a normal sleep schedule is.

[Facexplodie]

I think I forgot how to sleep a couple months ago...

[Kagetori]

I can't sleep unless I accomplish something, otherwise I'll be up all night.

Everybody, let's follow the Uberman sleep schedule!

Everybody, let's follow the Uberman sleep schedule!

I've often thought about trying a polyphasic sleep cycle, but the biggest thing I worry with it comes from working out.

I work out pretty intensely about 5 days a week (3 on, 1 off cycle). A necessary part of being in a job where high fitness is an extremely important area.

However, people who work out regularly often need a full 8 hours of sleep in order to recover at a healthy rate. I can certainly attest to that fact. The days I don't get enough sleep I typically don't recover fully from the previous day's workout, and my overall gains are diminished.

The recovery phase of sleep doesn't take place in REM sleep though. It's in the deeper stages of sleep that the body begins repairing muscles. Given the fact polyphasic sleep cycles trick your body into only sleeping in REM, this presents some concerns.

Ever do a workout, stay up all night, and do another workout the next day? It pretty much feels like you didn't recover at all, and chances are, you probably didn't.

For somebody who's sedentary, or doesn't do heavy lifting and strength building workouts, I can see this type of sleep cycle working for them. For those who do, I can see this type of sleep causing big issues with workout recovery.

I'm very unlucky with the sleep thing, Go to bed at 3, wake up at 8am kinda deal. Sucks really hard sometimes.
