Polyphasic Sleep Schedule - Day 2

Day 2:

This morning at 8:00am when I woke up after 4.5 hours sleep I looked in the mirror and noticed ugly dark circles under my eyes. Thank god for concealer, the last thing I need is having to explain to mum that I'm staying up till god knows what time in the morning.

I still didn't manage to fall to sleep at the designated nap times in the day but thanks to being super tired I zoned out into a hypnagogic state almost immediately as my head hit the pillow. I reckon a day or two more and I'll be falling asleep at the right times during the day.

I was feeling relatively normal until about 4:00pm, then I started to feel really tired. Another thing is that whenever I'm hungry I feel sick, and I've been hungry probably something like twice as much than what is normal.

I've gone into quite a few short zombie states throughout the day. That's not exactly unusual for me anyway, but I was seriously out of it at times. I also noticed that for a split second I went into a very dark place emotionally, somewhere I haven't been for months. I almost didn't realize it, it was so brief. I need to be careful of this.

As the day wore on I began to feel lightheaded like yesterday and actually accidentally smacked myself in the face with a door from losing my bearings for a split second.

I've just tried having my second nap of the day and unlike yesterday at this time I feel majorly tired. For reference, my eyes feel like sandpaper glued together. And I'm so incredibly hungry, I've now a secret stash of cereal under my bed for the early mornings.

Just another four hours and forty-five minutes till I can sleep. I will stick through this. God save me.
