Polyphasic Sleep Tips and Truth
So today we have no comics ( sorry guys ).
Today we'll talk about poly phasic sleep, why ? because I just joined this bandwagon of people trying to get the hang of it. Why ? because it is said that the ones who achieve the poly phasic sleep schedule see considerable improvement on one's life. Such as improved awareness and reflexes, other thing said about the ones who accomplish such matter is that your days, your life actually, becomes considerably longer and "slower" since you have much more time to do anything you need to. Berman's adepts often say that they feel like a superman, like the word says " uberman" from the German, superman, because the world looks like it is in constant slow motion for them, which is great, imagine that if the world was in slow motion for you ? I would keep dropping things and getting them from falling on the floor all the time, like Spiderman or some shit.
Now I'll tell you about my personal experiences about this poly phasic sleep attempt. And I'll be doing this on this website in the section of " thoughts " you can check it out, I'll try to update it as often as I can.
For those that want to test it, I'll say already, it's very hard in the beginning, you won't sleep well, and most likely you won't sleep at all. I've been on it for 3 days now and the first 2 days I couldn't manage to sleep on the 20 minutes nor the 3 hours naps, in Everyman 3 (see further on the post about it). I had Insomnia and felt really bad and irritated in the first two days, stood in the bed for 3:45 hours until I finally slept, which was bad because my alarm was almost up.Now, on day 3, I feel more comfortable with the schedule, mainly because I started working out, not to get shaped for the girls, but to get tired enough to sleep anytime I want, that there is a good tip for you who might start, do something that exhausts you during the time you're awake, being relaxed all day will only diminish your chances to sleep well in the first weeks. This night I actually slept, but stood 1 hour in bed rolling before sleep, which is better than 3:45, right ? and had my 20 minutes naps during the day, which is a great improvement since I never had those.
So my tips for you, are, go REALLY slow on it, don't get stressed out if you're not getting into sleep in the first days in your programmed schedule. Do something for your body to get exhaust while you're awake and don't give up just because you can't sleep well for starters. Right now I'm feeling great as I type this.
But mind that, I'M NOT USING THE UBERMAN SCHEDULE, I'm using the Everyman 3, which is a lighter schedule than Uberman's poly phasic sleep, since it's inflexible and I needed some flexibility, because well, I have a life.
Of course, everything in life have a bad side, EVERYTHING, and this poly phasic sleep thing isn't exception there are major studies in psychology about the collateral effects of this poly phasic sleep schedule. Because certainly there must be some bad circulatory events that happen in your body when you change your biological clock.
The human body is "programmed" to only understand mono phasic or biphasic sleep, meaning that this poly phasic sleeps are not welcomed by our body, which is true, since we are living this way for mileniums.Then, one's can be diagnosed as a sleep deprived person when attempting the schedules, causing some mental and body disorders, such as depression.Most population sleeps in a mono phasic pattern, but some sleep in biphasic, since nowadays you must be a much more active person than some years ago, due to technology and economy today. Some individuals can even learn to sleep 3-4 hours.And mostly poly phasic sleep is being seen as bad thing that puts your body and mind crazy.
Here are some myths about Poly phasic sleeps, according to a huge article about it.
- most animals are poly phasic and so must be humans
- adaptation period is hard but it ends at some point
- poly phasic sleep saves you time
- poly phasic naps are REM-only
- you are more alert if you sleep polyphasically
- you are more productive if you sleep polyphasically
- you lose weight on the poly phasic sleep schedule (opposite may happen)
- poly phasic sleep is healthy
- long naps are bad for you
- many naps are better than one nap even if you are not sleep deprived
- Claudio Stampi recommends poly phasic sleep to everyone
- poly phasic sleep maximizes the amount of REM an individual gets
While writing this I actually was reading an article about poly phasic sleep myths and truths, and I must say that I'm quite uncouraged now to continue it.
In that link it is all the information you need about poly phasic sleep and probably after reading all that you'll be like me and won't even think about it.

Two weeks left
Finally, unfortunatly, my vacation is almost over, 2 weeks from it. In february my classes come back again and I'm happily, thank you, proud to say that I'm nowhere near anxious for it. Usually when you're in high school you get all nervous and anxious for your return from vacation, when you get to college, ha, friend, thats another story. You know that your painful journey of college work, exams and essays are coming closer and closer and you just can't stand the fact you will soon be on that same routine again and again. The routine of College, at least in Brazil it's pretty much boring and hard, the movies show the opposite on the USA.
The USA's colleges look like fun all the time, 24/7, sex and partying all the time non-stop. That was my dream, to study in a USA's college, to live like in the movies, but I think that's far away for someone who lives in Brazil.
Lately I was pretty bored with my course, Biology, passed 1 year and I didn't feel that hard-on when thinking about something you love to study, hence why I'm thinking in changing my course. Maybe psycology people say it's the best for me.
So I hope this semester is better and shows to me I love biology, otherwise I'm damned.
Thank you for reading and that's it for now guys

Insect Vehicle Insurance ?
Yesterday I hit a plant vase in my house with my beloved Fusca.I'm not a bad driver tho, wanna know what happened ? as I was entering the garage and some BEE came inside my car through the window and simply mashed agains't my face causing me to lose attention and consequentely turn the car over to the right, hitting the vase, isn't that beautiful guys ? ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL ?
Beetch |
So after that happening, and both my parents not believing me, I had to let the car to the mechanic repair. It's going to be 1000$, for a whole new painting.And guess what I don't have over the Fusca ? Insurance. Vehicle Insurance.
I hit a effing vase, got charged for 1000$, because of a bee, and I don't have an insurance. Isn't that fabulous ? Next thing I'm going to do now is search for vehicle insurance here in Brazil, I can't afford anymore bees entering and hitting my face.
There should be an INSECT DAMAGE VEHICLE INSURANCE, but no, of course that doesn't exist.
Cheers guys, I'm pissed.

No more insurance
GPU |
So, I didn't tell you guys i've had stories of broken computer parts that just randomly fix themselves from a day to another right ? There we have it, my GPU, for you that don't know, Graphics Processing Unit, was given broken yesterday, tried of everything. Nothing worked. Nothing.
Then today I was with my friend and I joked about this exact thing of my pieces of computer always ressurrecting from the dead, we joked, laughed and I said "hey, let's go there, I bet it will work now, haha!"
We got upstairts, I did some here and there installations, took out some cables to fit the GPU in, and after 3 resets of not working display, guess what happened ? the GPU just started working. Isn't that magical guys ? do you have any thoughts on this ? apparently I won't be needing the insurance anymore !
If you have any tips about what happened please let me know
See ya,
JC.

Floods on Brazil
It's well known that brazil is the country of waters and etc. But what does that matter if the population doensn't take care of those waters ? lately all brazil and all the rest of the world hears in the news is that it is suffering from floods, and floods, and catastrophes of all kinds.Except for vulcans, because we don't have those in here, but i bet if we had, they would probably be exploding aswell, I BET!
I'm particulary tired of going out my home and the streets are filled with water because of the bad management by part of the mayor and stuff. I can't even imagine CAN'T go out because my street is 1 meter of water, and that's what been happening on Minas Gerais, here on brazil.
People's houses are all flooded and they lost lots of expensive things such as televisions, laundry machines, video games, etc. And as if that wasn't enough, here in brazil everybody has the great habbit of being a horrible person, and basically what's been happening is that when the floods occur, hundreds of stupid vandals from everywhere go and pillage the houses. Isn't that great? We have floods and crime.
I hate my country.
