Everyman
Been about two weeks since I started everyman sleep schedule Its kinda scary how little is different. Everyday levels of tiredness are pretty much identical to what they were beforehand. There are a few periods in the day where its less, but they are minor and manageable. Adaptating seems quite easy, however everyman takes awhile to fully attune to (1-2 months + trialing different schedules).
Mornings are one problem point (though arent they for everyone?). Basically within the first hour of getting up, doing any screen stuff or heavy reading doesnt work so well, the fine concentration just isnt there. With a good routine though, mornings are easy. Alarm -> get up (instantly) -> turn on lights -> get changed -> ~25minute run -> get ready -> newspaper / chores / cooking / drawing. The physical exercise definetely helps, however can be hard to do habitually due to weather.
Lectures and public transport can be quite sleep inducing, thought this was certainly true before I started this. Lectures are easy if Im in decent light, and there are lots of notes to be taken. Not sure if I should just go with it and sleep on buses, there doesnt seem to be much else todo. The quality cant be to good though + scared of missing my stop.
Naps vary. Most often I drift in and out of sleep in maybe ~8 minute intervals. Often end up extending or reducing the time spent in napping periods. Looks like getting this down as a habit requires a decent amount of practice, but Im happy with it as is - anything better is a bonus. Sleeping at an architecture school isnt exactly a stigma.
Had my first lucid dream, which was great really. Should try working on dream recall, but it all seems so hippie -plus it means more routines. Maybe later down the track.
Might have had one oversleep of a few hours, cant really remember. Also one or two nights where I have skipped naps or had a 6 hour core. The impact of doing so was unnoticable, its probably slowing down complete adaptation, but its nice to no that things are so flexible.s
So far I would call the schedule a sucess, and will definetely carry it through to the 30 day mark. However I suspect an even more effective lifehax type thing would be to maintain a strict work/productivity system, but that tends to take much more discipline. Baby steps...
