Today was the first day of my polyphasic sleep schedule, and I'm tired!

I have read that everyman starts off very easy and gets harder over the course of a few days, so I was expecting the past 24 hours to be easy. I have felt really tired, and it was a struggle to stay awake last night. I think this may partly be because I was slightly sleep deprived to start off with from the end of my holiday (I returned from Spain yesterday).

During the night last night, I had a list of chores and got most of them done. I unloaded the dishwasher, loaded it up, washed up the excess, got some things down from the loft (quietly) and cooked some sausages for lunch today. Before I went to bed at 7:00 this morning I went for a half hour walk and then made sausage sandwiches for today.

I slept for all of my naps, but the earlier ones were more successful. I was so tired for the first nap that I fell asleep quite quickly, and woke up feeling a bit better.

The lunch time nap involved power walking home, quickly sleeping and then marching back to work. I think it would have been better if I had cycled home and relaxed for 10 minutes before my nap. I need to get some oil for my bike before I can ride it so this is not an option for tomorrow.

My final sleep was the least successful but I definitely managed to sleep.

Now I have 3 and a half hours before my core sleep which I am really looking forward to!
