How much sleep do you get after a baby?
I’ve had lots of people ask how we are doing, specifically around sleep, following the recent birth of our 1st baby. So, being the geek-father I am, I thought I’d share the sleep changes with you 10 days in from … Continue reading

9.30am Day 3 – Experiment Concluded
My polyphasic sleep experiment has been called to a halt.
I know what your are thinking… only 2 days in? “So, was it a success? of a Failure?”. Well, we’ll get to that answer shortly…
I went into this experiment with 2 hypothesis, one being absolute failure on day 3 or 4 due to sleep deprivation the other being success. Continue reading

I’m hoping that this will both help me get to sleep in my nap times and also help stop me over sleeping once I am asleep. Continue reading

After lots of research, the pattern I have decided to go for is the Everyman schedule which consists of a core 3hour sleep, followed by 3 equally spaced 20min power naps throughout the day. This should be workable around my normal life to a reasonable extent. Continue reading
