Spamayl w/Core - Day 5

Here I list the times I've slept over the last 24hrs so far, all being 15 minutes long except the core taken at 04:45am which was closer to 50 minutes long:
20:00
22:40
23:45
00:45
01:45
02:45
03:45
04:40
06:00
07:15
09:55
12:20
13:30
16:00
As can be seen I've taken 14 naps, which equals a grand total of 4hrs. This seems to be a good start. I found it a little difficult sleeping on the hour every hour throughout the night, but it was necessary. I realize now that the point isn't to start at a larger amount of sleep solely to soften the adaption of sleeping less, but instead to pull the body through on enough light sleep for the first few days while the deep sleep and REM is repartitioning itself to fit within the 15 minute naps I gave it. Otherwise without those extra naps it would be similar to going completely without sleep for those first few days, which is near impossible, especially without oversleeping and blacking out.

It is a little annoying to have to sleep so often but it should only be necessary for the first three days at least. Then I could in theory start to omit naps. Already after following the 15 minute nap rule for the last 24hrs I can see a major increase of nap quality. I even believe I received some deep sleep in a couple of naps during the day, more so than I did last night.

Last night wasn't too difficult although my legs were aching from sitting up most the night. Last night there was no chance of blacking out, but tonight will be different. Tonight I'll stand between all my naps, without a wall to lean against. I believe this will prevent me from falling asleep standing up, lest I fall and wake up anyway. Otherwise it still felt like I'd been awake all night, the only psychological reset I've managed to have my 50min core. Time is already seeming to go a lot slower, almost dilated like, and as if there's no beginning or end, morning or night, yesterday or tomorrow. Time seems to be standing still once again.

I am dedicated to seeing this through without one blackout or sleep-in. I really want this to work. I find that 15minute naps are extremely convenient. I can't count how many times I've woken up from a nap today just about to be disturbed. Five minutes longer on the standard 20minute Spamayl schedule and I wouldn't have stood a chance. I really like this so far. I feel great. I am rooting all my luck and will power into surviving the second hardest day of adaption. The second night.
