The Schedule

Hello! Welcome to Eyecrust, the blog dedicated to our adaptation of a biphasic sleep schedule. What is a biphasic sleep schedule? Normal people sleep monophasically, in one big chunk. This biphasic schedule that we are about to begin includes one 90 minute nap in the early evening (the exact time of this nap has not yet been decided upon) and one 3 hour nap between 3am and 6am. The schedule is based around the 90 minute sleep cycle, allowing our bodies to go through one complete cycle during the short nap and two complete cycles during the longer one. For more information about Biphasic sleep I would recommend checking out the Wikipedia article and some of the links at the bottom of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biphasic_sleep.

My two friends, Kevin and Johnny, and I will be starting this little experiment tonight. We plan to skip the early nap for this first night and stay awake until 3am when we will sleep until 6. Tomorrow evening we will begin the complete schedule. We will be posting our progress throughout the adaptation period as well as what we all think of the schedule overall once our bodies have fully adapted to it.
