Can I Change This Later?

It is in the wee hours of the morning as I write this, and I am wide-awake.  Why?  This past weekend we visited with my wife’s family and my adherence to a polyphasic sleep schedule was haphazard.  I truly expected this meant that I was starting from scratch with my attempts to adjust my sleeping patterns.  If that’s not the case, then why?

I think the approach that I took last week, might not be the best one for me.  I took a week off from work and attempted to make a complete switch to the new schedule.  The problem was, I had so much time on my hands that I ended up being bored.  When I'm bored, the attraction of sleep is astoundingly amplified.  I repeatedly overslept in the early morning and couldn’t make much progress.  This week I am going to work everyday.  Since so much of my time is eaten up at work, I don’t have quite so much time to spend at home running out of things to do.  In about an hour I’ll start getting ready to go to work, and I still have a healthy list of things I’d like to work on. 

I think this alternate approach is going to make it much easier to adjust to the schedule.  Viva la polyphasia.
