So far in Day 1, concentration levels have been decent (except for times near nap time), and session 1 has actually been pretty good. Had breakfast as usual, did the test with decent amount of concentration. I even brought a pillow to uni this time for sleeping at 2, the white noise recording that I downloaded really helped my sleep...
Session 2: 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The telling factor: exercise. I thought that this sleep cycle would definitely get to my ability to out run people, and surprisingly I have managed to play decently (scoring 3 in the process), but it just shows that this sleep cycle doesn't really have that much effect on the body (other than some midnight cravings).
Planning to get sleep after dinner, hopefully tonight's study session will be as productive as yesterday's. I even managed to get a friend over tonight to make sure that I'm awake this time from 3 to 8.
Session 3: 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Alertness is fantastic. No caffeine needed actually, it's been a while since I needed it. Even after exercising, fatigue hasn't really caught up to me, but of course as soon as 2 a.m. comes around the same thing happens... I wonder whether if I get used to this schedule, I could start reducing the length of the nap times...
Session 4: 3 a.m. to 8 a.m.
It's amazing my progress so far, as long as i remain awake for the first half hour or so, basically I can survive the next 5 hours. It's that simple really. Concentration has been tip top, just wondering how flexible these nap times can get, hmm...
