I've found it quite hard to maintain the polyphasic sleep cycle while maintaining the semblance of a social life. I've been floating in and out of it for the past few weeks, and trying to kick it back into force last night. Unfortunately.. fatigue took me at 4-7am. Food and water are key to mid morning energy levels... As i slip in and out of the polyphasic sleep cycle, i find myself with a fair bit of time to spare. One thing i'm trying to enstate is a morning ritual. Be up at 5am, get the day's internet surfing out of the way prior to work, eat a breakfast and leave to work @ 7:45. Ride to Kangaroo point and boulder until my arms fall off. Nap in the sun, and head to work =) How can you say no to this every morning?

So. got off the wrong stop today (overnapping). So on the walk back to the lab, walked past a rock climbing store.. and well.. now i have shoes, chalk bag (gift) and a new beanie. so many $$$ gone...

(playing with my flash is omoshiroi)

so like. It happened again. The first time i found an open window and pried it open and got in. At that point i was pretty sure that was the only entrance. We locked it up and made sure the windows around the house are all locked up.

So the second time being locked out, man i knew i was gonna be screwed, sleepin on teh porch till morning. But i couldnt just give up could i?

Here's something i tried (it didnt work so dont get any ideas). I did manage to bypass the first door though, but all i could do after that was knock madly on the 2nd door and then open the first door and be outside again.


I managed to get in though, 1.5hrs later, now i'm in an interesting security dilemma. Having another way in without a key is very useful to keep around. Although the method i used was suitably complicated, should I make sure no else can break in?

So i'm 5 days in. with a total of about 3-5 hrs sleep each day. Its pretty interesting, despite all the mythology behind it I find it pretty fun. It seems to make me more organised and more motivated to do this, although these things are generally not very productive like reading a book or playing wow, it opens up a whole new area to my life, the dead hours. I have more time now, and now i must up my productivity to match =)

Now that its working well i can ration off the dead hours of the night to actually learning a new language (something ive always wanted 2 do) and pursuing a bit of personal coding, another thing ive always wanted to try. As long as i can work off my wow addiction *ambush backstab backstab*

The best of it all is, since i'm awake way before i need to goto work, i have had teh best breakfast ever. Using gordon ramsay's tried and tested scrambled eggs method with nice fat pieces of bacon.

Hoorah!
