Most of the world is monophasic, they sleep 8-12 hours at night, all in one big chunk. That’s a lot of sleep. With a biphasic sleeping schedule the sleep is split between the night (usually around midnight) and the day (sometime around noon). Many younger children sleep this way and it seems to work pretty well for them. Next there is polyphaisc sleep; taking 3 or more “naps” during the day to get in the required amount of sleep. The most famous polyphasic sleep schedule is Uberman; taking 6 evenly spaced 20 minute naps during the day. This would be fantastic and I would have loved to try it, however, I don’t think work would agree well with it. So I went with the next best, a lesser known one named Dymaxion.

With the Dymaxion sleep schedule there are four 30 minute naps during the day; evenly spaced this usually works out to midnight, noon and 6 am/pm. Instead of starting with just the straight 30 minute naps I would lay down at the specified times and just sleep as long as I needed to, so they started out being 2-3 sometimes 4 hours. I was sleeping way more than I needed to. The last day or two I’ve been setting an alarm and trying to get up after the 30 minutes; it doesn’t always work and I’ve turned into somewhat of a zombie during the daytime but it’s getting closer and I think by the time I get to New Mexico and start work I should have it refined to the point where the 30 minutes is all I need for each nap. Hopefully my work schedule allows me to take a half hour nap right in the middle of the day, if not returning to a monophasic sleep pattern will take me a couple weeks and I’ll be zombified again. Seeing as it’s 5:51 am I guess I should go and take a nap, will post more about the adventures of Jim the Zombie in the next couple of days or so.

Yesterday (Monday) I somehow managed to get 100% on both of my math quizes…one of which replaced a 30% I had on another. While the final isn’t until March 3rd, pretty sure I’m going to do well. Windows desktop operating systems, I could probably not show up for and still end up with a ‘B’ in the class…it a wonderful class but most of the stuff in it I have already learned in the past. The structured cabling final on Thursday should be fun, that class is hit and miss as to weather I’ll do well or not, but recently things have been going well in there. Then there’s Composition I…if I end up with a ‘D-’ in that class, I think I might end up taking my parents out to dinner or something. lol. Writing classes and I don’t mix very well; so I don’t try very hard and end up not doing well. Oh well, it was fun and very informational.

Digital Storm LAN (DSL) should be a blast this year. It is being held at the Croatian Cultural Centre in Vancouver, BC, Canada from August 1st to 3rd. Getting everything set up for DSL has been a decent bit of work and I’m really hoping I can somehow make my way up to Canada this year to attend. For now however, the poor, starving college student named Jim…seems to have a lack of money to find his way across the country and up to Canada.

Oh! good news, of sorts :p nah, it really is good news. My sister’s wedding (heh, so I haven’t mentioned I had a sister or she was engaged…oops >.>) is planned for June and I’ll be happily headed back to Colorado to go. I’m really quite happy for her, she’s found herself a great guy who loves her and she loves him; they’re going to make a great couple.

Suppose I should go finish studying so I can pass school and get myself out into the real world and spend time with a very special someone Hope you have as much fun reading as I did writing :p
