T - 64 Hours

Big plans lay on the horizon. Lifestyle changes that only hermits can be successful at are coming fast. Today is a day of preparation and celebration. The Spring term of MSOE (Milwaukee School of Engineering) starts tomorrow at 8:00 AM sharp. At that time, an 11 week stretch, 18 credits deep, commences. Yet, the hardest week will not be the last ones. No, the hardest week will be these next two weeks. On Ash Wednesday 2011, I will be no longer sleeping 1/3 of my life away. This fraction is going to be reduced to 1/12. I will be adapting to the Uberman sleep schedule (with one twist).

For the uninformed, the Uberman schedule is a type of polyphasic sleep. In normal sleep or monophasic sleep, a person sleeps for one chunk of time (around 8 hours). Polyphasic sleep splits this up into several chunks. Uberman sleep consists of 6 20-minute naps spaced 4 hours apart. (More information can be found at http://www.puredoxyk.com/index.php/polyphasic-sleep-portal/) It IS possible! It just takes super-human willpower to become adjusted. I will write more on this later.

In addition to adjusting how I sleep, it is also my Official Unofficial Facebook Addiction Rehab Week.  This was mainly poor planning on my part, but I like a good challenge.  During this week (March 6th through March 12th),  I will not be on Facebook.  Facebook has become too routine and meaningless lately, so I have decided to abstain from it.  I may write more on this later as well.

This new blog is intended to be a daily blog, so stay "tuned" for more banter.
