I'm trying to adapt right now, but if I have to go through 1-2 months of pain to adapt, it's not going to work (since I'm a student in the middle of a semester). Any tips on adapting quickly or with minimal pain? I've been severely stepping down my sleep in the last few days, but I'm not sure how I ought to do my naps so that they help me adapt better. Any ideas? If you visit my blog and leave a comment anywhere, I'll get it. Thanks! Judy,

I sleep fine in a car with the engine running and heater on, although it will cost you a bit in gas and not so good in the summer. Maybe you can shift one of the sleep shifts to home (either before or after work)? Also lunch is no problem, just make yourself a green shake and eat at your desk, it's healthier as well.

However, Marc's interest in trying the Uberman schedule is inspiring me to do it with him (the everyman schedule, since my work schedule won't accommodate the uberman). It will definitely add some fun to the whole experience to share it. I have several days off of work this coming week, so this is an ideal time to start, except for holiday/birthday/new years indulgences in food and alchohol, which often put me to sleep. I think I had an easy time the first time I tried it simply because I was very well rested to start off, and because I allowed myself up to 4 hours for the night stretch. I'm sure I hadn't gotten to the difficult adaptation period yet, because I was not falling asleep during my three daytime naps. My biggest concern starting it now, is that since it is winter my car will be uncomfortably cold, and I will have to take one to three naps in my car (before work, during lunch, and right after work). If I can find some sort of electric blanket that runs on batteries, that might help. Also, I only get one half hour for lunch, so that means I will have less than 10 minutes to eat something in a 10 hour work day. So I'm expecting I will have to adjust my eating habits as well, or eat more nuts at work. I love luxuriating in sleep, but I want to try the everyman because there are so many other things I'd like to do, but don't make the time for. I'm planning to start off easy, giving myself 4-5 hours for the long stretch. I’ve been meaning to try this experiment again, but have put it on the back burner because of not having the resolve.
