Kevin: 80:8

I didn't sleep again last night. I feel a lot better today than the morning after I stayed up all night 2 nights ago. In the last 80 or so hours, I've only gotten around 8 hours of sleep. But other than slightly blurry vision and an auditory hallucination here and there, I seem to be functioning properly. The every-other-daysic sleep schedule is working better than I would have expected. However, I would not recommend this sleep pattern to anyone. If it is totally necessary, it seems that the body is capable of sustaining on the utmost minimum amount of sleep, for short periods of time at least. I am tempted to keep this pattern up and see what happens, but with finals and a ski trip coming up, I am concerned that I will become highly susceptible to sickness, which would be a big bummer for the ski trip. I guess it might also suck for finals, but mainly for the ski trip.

Nick: Ninth Day

I gave myself an extra sleep cycle this morning (3am-7:30am). I was feeling real tired yesterday and now I feel much better thanks to a little extra sleep. I should still be tired enough to fall asleep this evening too (although this evening I will be napping from 5:00-6:30 so Johnny and I can make it to our 7:30 plans in time.. +1:30 in the morning and -1:30 in the evening. We'll see.).

John: What?!

So it's 10:15 and I just woke up. My alarm was set for 5:25 (I tried to move the 3-6 portion forward 30 minutes or so, turns out that didn't work) on both my cell phone and normal alarm clock. I don't remember turning either one off. Let's see if this messes everything up. I read about some other people who did this and they said they would give themselves a couple extra cycles on the weekends, kinda like sleeping in. Maybe this will just be like that. This was three extra cycles, two if you count the one I missed on friday.

Good news: I do feel energized. The only problem is that I don't know if I'll be able to fall asleep for the nap this evening. Also (relatively) good news: This was probably the best time I could have over slept because it was a weekend and the only plans I had were with Nick.

Nick: Eighth Day

Today was a very exhausting day. I didn't even do much to warrant exhaustion, I've just been feeling pretty lousy all day today. Even after my nap (I did feel good for a little bit) I started to feel tired again around 10:30. I'm looking forward to sleeping in 40 minutes.
