Retrospect

It has been over a month since I stopped my experiment. I took such a long break before posting because I wanted to give you monophasic sort an overview of my polyphasic sleep experiment and I wanted to do it from a monophasic point of view. Actually I'm just lazy, but I like my excuse nonetheless.

There are times when I miss it, and there are times when I'm glad to be back.

I miss:	I don't miss:
The ability to hang out with anyone, at any time, with only an hour's notice	Needing to take a break every five or six hours, prevented adventures
Sunrises	The constant need to think about sleep, monophasic is more carefree
Being seemingly more efficient	Being a more efficient procrastinator
The vast amounts of time when nobody was awake to bother me	The vast amounts of time when nobody was awake to keep me company
An odd topic to converse with strangers and friends alike	Explaining why I need to go home and meet up with everyone in an hour

My job being the major obstacle, I'm excited about an upcoming opportunity to get a new one. Assuming I pass my CCNA exam this X-mas break, I hope to have a job in my field the following summer. In a perfect world, I will work nine-hour days with a one-hour lunch break. Going through the initial week of transition while having a new job isn't quite the impression I want to give, so I might have to wait until I am used to how it works. I'm not saying that polyphasic is best, but - much like beans - it is something that I want to take a closer look at before ruling out.
