I have lots of questions for you but first I'm researching polyphasic sleep so I have a better understanding of what you're doing. I have a strong understanding of REM sleep as well as brain chemistry, but I'm not familiar with sleep manipulation. I came across this resource: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2007/03/polyphasic-sleep-one-year-later/ <br /><br /> I've experienced sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, etc. on a regular basis since I was very young. I easily slip into REM, sometimes even while I'm still awake. Some of the symptoms you've experienced are familiar to me. <br /><br />When you talk about experiencing narcolepsy, do you have narcolepsy or do you mean that this experiment is creating a narcoleptic brain? <br /><br />Again, I'm extremely interested in your research. I have my doubts on whether a long term transition to this type of sleep would be healthy, but I think the data your collecting is invaluable. At the very least, you gain a better understanding of your circadian rhythm. Hopefully, this will expand your ability to lucid dream. <br /><br />Good luck and I look forward to the next update. Maybe I'll find a way to experiment with my sleep, but I already know I can't screw around with sleep deprivation since I already struggle with sleep debt. However, I could practice early waking to induce lucid dreaming. hmmmmmm<br /><br />By the way, have you thought about using aromatherapy in your attempts to stay awake? Most pleasant smells are soothing and relaxing but there are some that might be rejuvenating. Plus, if you experience any nausea, peppermint and tea tree might work. Just a thought. Also, aromatherapy might be helpful for your naps.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281145183927906245noreply@blogger.com
