So today was the chicken and egg question:

• Do I start by staying up one night?
• Or do I start by napping during the day

I went for option two, napping first.

So, the results of my first nap (12 noon) are in:

FAIL.

And nap two (6pm):

FAIL.

It strikes me that none of the things I’ve read about polyphasic sleep discuss how long it takes to learn to nap – they take it for granted that you can. Whereas I’ve never had a quick nap in my life…

Oh this could go horribly wrong. And to think I was nervous before – now I’m seriously worried about how I’m going to cope.
