      Advantages:
      #1 - I can drink coffee and beer at selected times, without a problem
      #2 - I can drop a nap in the evening without having a huge impact
      #3 - The only nap at work is during lunchtime, so the whiners can shut the F up
      #4 - The lunchtime nap is fairly variable, by up to an hour or so.
      #5 - I get some cuddle time in bed with wifey, but also get a lot of time to myself as well
      I haven't been here in a while following your journal, but it's good to see you found your balanced nap schedule. This looks like a schedule I could very possibly attempt successfully, as I don't think my schedule would allow Uberman polyphasic. 4-4.5 hours is still pretty good if you feel well-rested I would say. A question though, do you feel as well-rested as if you took a good night's sleep? As compared to an average regular night's sleep where you don't totally sleep enough?

      Also, pet_rock, what is this Everyman schedule you are referring to?

      Honestly, I'm still struggling a bit at night.
      But the last week isn't fair to judge by - I've had family and friends over drinking into the early hours.
      So it's more of a testament to it's flexibility that I'm still doing my schedule!

      I'll post in a week or two and let you know my 'final' diagnosis of it

      I've just adjusted my schedule, and seem to have gotten rid of my night time problem. A week of it will tell.
      Instead of taking my core at 3:30am, I take it at normal 'bed time'
      So at about 11pm or so, I sleep for 3 hours, get up and nap a few hours later.

      My schedule was a success, however in the last few days I've had a setback.
      I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, and my doctor gave me thyroid supplements with absolutely no information about it. ("Here's a magic pill. Use it")

      He failed to mention a number of things which affect it, causing it to backfire.
      Then along with my cats waking me 3 times in my core sleep, it's caused a huge temporary mood disorder.
      So yesterday and today was monophasic because my body was in a massive depressive 'bipolar-like' mood swing.

      I've managed to correct it now with the supplements and some research on how to use them PROPERLY (bloody doctor. thinking of changing)
