We want our team to have PPE that is even better than N95, and developed "N95 Replacement Mask". This link gives instructions for 3D printing & assembly for your team.

Polyphasic Sleep Experiment Update: 11

Ok so this one’s basically for the last 24 hours or so, now that I’ve covered the symptoms I’m experiencing updates will likely only be daily now unless something happens (oversleeping, schedule change, etc.)

First thing, I overslept again last night, I went down at 1:30AM and woke up at 6:30AM. This is seriously, seriously bad and I need a way to stop it ASAP, because it’s halting and possibly even undoing any progress I’ve made.

I’ve added another, louder alarm at the end of both my 1:30AM and 5:30AM naps, because they’re the ones I know I oversleep on. If that doesn’t work, I’m planning a schedule change in the next day or so that will either: A) Lengthen night time naps by 10 minutes B) Shorten day time naps, which I often feel the urge to skip (I haven’t, but I deffinitely feel like I could) C) Both D) add in a longer sleep, possibly of one hour, at my 9:30PM sleep, in order to aleviate the build up of SWS pressure, which is what causes me to sleep through my alarms for hours.

It’ll likely take a few days of experimentation, and I’m not sure if any of it will help.

If you have any suggestions or advice, send them my way, I’d love some input.

Ok, on to the less negative stuff. During the day I have next to no negative symptoms asside from some slight occasional groginess. I’ve noticed that I am begginning to fall asleep slightly faster, often within 5-15 minutes as opposed to starting to fall asleep around the 20 minute mark. While not yet at the standard I’m aiming for (under a minute or two) this is a definite improvement. I’m feeling significantly more rested from my naps, and they’ve started to feel a lot longer than they are. I think this is for a combination of these reasons: A) falling asleep faster B) going to sleep more often, as opposed to once a night, I’m going to bed every 4 hours, or 8 times every 24 hours, this gives the impression I’m actually sleeping more (contrary to what my body tells me) C) my body may be begginning to adapt, skipping stages N1 and N2 and entering SWS and REM faster D) your mind works faster when asleep, especially while dreaming, which may make the time feel longer

And finally, while on the topic of dreams, my dream retension is getting better. I find I’m waking up and usually remembering at least one dream I’ve had. This is especially noticeable when I’m woken from REM, in the middle of a dream (such as just then), which is the goal anyway. This is a best case scenario: -I lie down for a nap, not feeling overly tired -I fall asleep quickly -I enter SWS for roughly 20 minutes -I enter REM for roughly 10 minutes (note that when I reduce the naps to 20 minutes ideally it’ll be about 12:8) -I have a dream -I’m woken from REM the moment my alarm goes off, feeling refreshed -I remember my dream

Every single one of these occured in the nap I just had. the only downside to this is that the reason I wasn’t feeling overly tired was because I overslept last night/this morning, which essentialy makes most of this progress void.

The end goal is to experience each and every nap (but particularly the 1:30AM and 5:30AM ones) just like this, on a continuous cycle. While it’s slow progress normally, and with the regular oversleeping it’s like banging my head against a brick wall, I’m going to keep trying, hopefully for the duration of the holidays (a bit less than 2 more weeks). If I’ve adapted reasonably well by then, I’ll have some flexibility with my naps and be able to fit them around school. If not, that will be the end of this experiment (unless I decide to try it again next time I’m on break).
