Polyphasic Sleep Day 2a

I’m at my sister’s in law house and it’s 3.33am. I’m doing well. Surprise, surprise.
I had my 4pm nap in the car as we were driving here and then I also had a little laying down rest as soon as we arrived. I was good.
In the evening there was a little drink party. I must congratulate myself on not touching alcohol for the whole month. I have been drinking very little anyway but since the experiment begun alcohol wasn’t even considered. That made things much easier. I wanted to quit drinking completely but there was always an excuse, just a one glass on special occasion. This time round there has been many occasions and I just kept drinking water. It’s strange as this even doesn’t bother me anymore. The temptation simply vanished. Thank you.
The drink party was between 7-9pm, right in the middle of my nap so I stayed till 9pm chatting to people and then sneaked out to our guest bedroom and simply went to sleep. I woke up before the alarm. In fact the alarm didn’t go off because I set it up wrong again and I woke up 10 min. after the wake up time. Not bad. I felt great and went downstairs to say goodbye to the last leaving guests from the party.
At 11pm everybody decided to go to bed but I was very awake. Thank you. I told my sister in law about my experiment and luckily she wasn’t too alarmed. She was kind enough to leave the heating on and recommended some films on DVD. Great. My night was looking good.
I have just watched one of the films and I’m just about to go for my 4am nap. To my surprise I feel really good. I think the crisis is going to hit me after this coming nap but I’m not going to worry about it. If it’s going to be too much of a struggle I simply go to bed. I’m sure at that time my husband is going to look for me anyway.

Tomorrow, well today we are going to go skating and again I was thinking about how I’m going to schedule my naps around it. Luckily I was told that we are going to leave at 12.30. Perfect. Thank you. This will be just after my midday nap.
So it looks like everything is unrolling beautifully, however I’m prepared for any changes anyway.

When people find out about my sleep pattern the first question they ask is ‘why?’, which really astonishes me. They don’t go’ ‘wow, this is interesting, so how does it work?’ They just look at me strangely and ask, ‘why”
For them to give up a full night sleep is crazy. They love their sleep. I guess I like sleeping too but this is much more exiting. This is entering a different reality. It’s almost like I’m in a different dimension. I still have to figure out how am I going to do my energy work without falling asleep and start working more on lucid dreaming and OBE exercises. Yesterday at 6am I was ready to do some meditation in a sitting position without any support but that’s when my husband woke up and instead I went to bed for a snooze. I’ll try to do it again today.
It’s time for my nap now. I hope to wake up in a good condition.
I’m astonished. It’s 5am and I’m fresh, my head is clear and I’m in a good mood. Thank you.
For the first time I woke up after 4am nap and was able to read a book, which I just did. Amazing. Now I’m going to watch the second film. The first one was very dark, revealing the negative side of human and how low he/she can fall.
I’m looking at people differently now. I feel compassion even to the characters on the screen. All thee characters are so caught up in their lives and live in such fear that their little world will collapse or stop working for them.
We lost dignity and honor and I don’t mean in a perspective of society but in a perspective to ourselves. We just simply, constantly lie to ourselves pretending that it’s for the better and we can’t possibly operate any other way.
Of course I’m one of them and I’m starting to see a bigger picture more clearly.
I have also noticed, and it has been pointed to me that lots of people hide behind spirituality. They move away from the conventional world but at the same time they start building a new corrupted structure called spiritual world. They bring all their pain with them and form another believe system to suit their situations. How to avoid that trap?
Truth is the only answer. No control, no hidden agenda, no judgment, compassion.

I need to go deeper into the meaning of these words.

I simply can’t believe it! It’s 7.15am and I’m fully awake. I watched the 2nd film and then did some yoga. I feel so good. No headache, no sleepiness, fresh mind and body. I don’t even long for bed. I’m fully rested. This is very strange and I love it.
My best night so far. I’m so content and in such a good mood. I can almost feel my good vibrations.
I hope I’ll still feel like this after my 8am nap.
I didn’t even eat much this night, only an apple. Usually I kept eating to keep awake. This time I had a light supper, just an avocado and a tomato, a tiny bit of coleslaw and a few sticks of pepper. Simple, easy.

I’m really sticking to my 100% raw food and that really helps. I feel better and lighter and I’m sure this way of eating complements the uberman schedule.
The need for hot food in the winter has vanished. It’s really astonishing considering my constitution (vata) and tendency to getting cold. I always felt cold but not now. This is a huge revelation to me. I’ve noticed that few days ago, I don’t feel cold anymore the way I used to. I hope that won’t change and I will be able to enjoy winter on just raw food.
This autumn I had lots of cooked food, very healthy but cooked, like sweet potatoes and other root vegetables roasted in coconut oil, or cooked millet.
I don’t have an urge anymore to do so.
Something changed within me, for better. Something clicked as if my body went to another gear, smooth. I hope to stay like this from now on.
