Update kommt die Tage wieder.
Werde jetzt auch an meiner Bachelor-Arbeit weiterschreiben, d.h. dann kann ich au bessere Aussagen über das Leistungsvermögen treffen als jetzt, wo ich größtenteils die Zeit einfach nur rumbringe.
Ein paar Erfahrungen von außerhalb zu den Themen der letzten Posts:
Interrupted Naps. Several people have asked me what happens if a nap gets interrupted prematurely. This has happened to me a few times, such as with a phone ringing or the kids making too much noise in the next room. It’s really not that bad. First of all, there’s a very small window for the interruption to occur, only about 15-20 minutes in duration. If an interruption occurs while I’m still awake and haven’t fallen asleep yet, it has no impact. If it was a big interruption, I’ll just reset my timer and start the nap again. Same goes for the interruption occurring right as I’m waking up. But if the interruption occurs mid-nap, usually I just drift back to sleep again within a minute or two and continue where I left off.
Remember that if I get woken up during a nap, it’s either going to be during very light Phase I sleep or during REM sleep. Getting interrupted while in these phases of sleep won’t leave me drowsy. In fact, waking up from REM sleep feels great. But if a nap is cut short, it may mean getting less REM sleep than desired. And this just means that during the next cycle, I may feel like I didn’t get quite enough sleep. Usually I’ll feel the desire to nap again sooner than usual, such as after 2-3 hours. And if I can, I’ll nap again when the urge strikes. So an interrupted nap is far from fatal. It’s little more than a minor inconvenience as long as I’m still getting some REM sleep.

Napping Outside the Home: I can think of a number of places where you could nap outside the home when needed: parks, grassy areas at colleges, school libraries, your car, the beach, your hotel room, on the plane, your office couch or floor, in a stopped elevator, etc. Remember it’s only about 20 minutes of actual sleep time, so you don’t need 5-star accommodations. A yoga mat or a blanket can soften a hard surface to make it more comfortable to sleep on. I think with some creativity, it would almost always be possible to find a place to take a nap. You don’t need to hide the fact that you’re a polynapper either — it’s not like you’re doing something illegal. If you’re going to be in a situation where it may be challenging to get a nap, just let the people involved know about your polyphasic sleeping habits, and ask for ideas on where to sleep. No need to be shy about it. Simply adapt the best you can. 30-40 extra waking hours per week may be worth a little inconvenience now and then. Personally I’m beginning to think that monophasic sleep is a lot less convenient overall — it just takes way too much time. None so righteous as the newly converted, right?
