another note:
-because of time constraints of college life (track, classes and greek) i’ve had to cut down on my sleeping hours. as someone who’s always struggled with their sleeping pattern anyways, i actually felt the best i had in a while and finally pr’d while using a polyphasic sleeping cycle. I see that the disadvantages of this is less time in deep sleep, but i actually exhibit the sleeping characteristics of a mild narcoleptic so i’m not sure how great my sleeping cycle was doing anyways. i used to sleep 9 hours a night with a 30’ nap after classes before track but now have adjusted to a 4:30 hour core sleep with a 30’ nap around lunchtime, before practice and after dinner
