Living out loud.

I've decided to make this blog more than just my polyphasic crap. It's going to be about my transgender and gay issues, and maybe whatever other crap on the side. You know, a place where I can vent.

I'm so sick and tired of my homophobic family, homophobic school, homophobic town. I feel like they're all stuck in the 70s and 80s. They're conservative and old fashioned. It makes me feel claustrophobic. I can't be me. I can't be Angel, the androgynous/transgender androphilic person that I am, I have to be Justin, the random gay dude who know one knows.

Blargh. D: Well, that seemed depressing. Now on to happy stuff. My party is tomorrow. I'm probably getting a digital camera with a camcorder thing on it. AND. I came out to all my friends and everything about being transgender/genderqueer. :D They all took it well. Some of them are like uhhhh what? but most are like I knew it. :)

Well, that's all I can think of right now without babbling. I'll be going now. Maybe I'll update later from my phone. ^_^

movin' to Iowa!!!! :)

Yeah, you read that right. My dad got the job offer in Iowa, and it's pretty obvious that he'll take the job. I mean, what other choice do we have?! :P But I won't be moving until like right after christmas. =]

I'm having trouble deciding on what schedule to choose. Gar. There's so many good ones! :D

Well, I'll update tomorrow. I'm off to the store and then I gotta bake some cakes! :D

Chart of polyphasic sleep schedules

Schedule name	Number, Frequency and Length of Naps	Total Sleep Time	Notes
Uberman	6 naps; every 4 hrs; 15, 20, or 30 minutes	1.5, 2, or 3 hrs	No core sleep, 1-2 wks to adapt
Dymaxion	4 naps; every 6 hrs; 30 minutes	2hrs	No core sleep, 1-2 wks to adapt
Everyman	1 core sleep, 1-5 naps: Core sleep varies from 1.5 to 4.5 hrs, and naps vary from 15 minutes to 1 hr	2-6 hrs	Frequently known as "roll-your-own" sleep, longer adaptation (2-4 wks, for some)
Biphasic	Two core sleeps; every 12 hrs; varies from 2-3 hours	2-6 hrs	Longer adaptation (2 wks), for the most part there are no naps
Batman	3 naps; every 8 hrs; 30 minutes each	1.5 hrs	No core, slightly long adaptation (3 weeks)
Freerunning	The individual sleeps when necessary, and doesn't use an alarm to wake up.	varies	No long-term adherents
Hexadecaphasic	16 naps; every 1.5 hrs; 5 minutes each	1.3 hrs	Feasibility under dispute
Nocturnal Multiphase	1 core sleep, 8pm-12am, and two daily naps of 30 minutes each, once at 7:30am and once at 3:30pm	5 hrs	I made this schedule. 1 week adaptation. Requires social life reduction.

everyman for now, uberman(?) later. and stuffs.

Alright. I stayed home sick today; I'm coughing, sneezing, snorting (snot, that is), and lazing around. I've been having a total off day. I slept from about 1 this morning til about 10, and then I just lazed around the house like I had something to do.

So I figured out that besides last night, I've been on everyman for a while now. About 4 hours of sleep at night, give or take half an hour, and then 2-3 naps during the day, depending on my schedule. I'm going to stick to this for a while, and then I will switch to either Dymaxion or Uberman. Maybe even Tesla.

:3

I really want to make a chart of sleep schedules on here, just because I can. :D

Good news --- My dad is getting an offer for a job in Iowa. Bad news --- He might not take it because his salary would be lower than what he gets on unemployment/disability/social security. :/ The other choice is California, in which his salary would be $110k per year, plus however much I make when I get a job. :P

That's it for now. I'm making a chart of the sleep schedules then I'm heading off for a short nap + dinner. Love you guys <3

Polyphasic pioneering.

So I've been thinking, and I kinda want to start my own polyphasic schedule... Like decaphasic, and pentaphasic. I'm leaning towards decaphasic. Naps of either 5 or 10 minutes each. That would make them more school friendly. :D

Pentaphasic - 5 naps, 10 minutes each. 12:00am, 6am, 11am, 2pm, 7pm. Or something like that. Pretty much all 5 hours apart besides the 11a and 2p naps. That would be very feasible for me :)

Decaphasic - Ten naps, 10 minutes each. 1am, 3am, 5am, 7am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 5pm, 8pm, 11pm. :D I don't know. I'm still workin this stuff out.

Wait --- instead of trying to plan out the naps, why don't I sleep deprive myself for a night and then take naps whenever I see fit. Yus? :DD i'm so excited. But I need to get better from whatever i'm sick with right now before I move out of monophasism permanently.

I missed school today, mostly because i'm sick but also because there was a video presentation I made and I can't stand seeing or hearing myself so I just avoided it ;)

For right now, I'm off to nap. I'm very, very, very tired. :[ even though I just slept 10 hours. O.o

ahhhh! uberman, day two.

i over slept last night. 1am-ish to 9am. i nearly missed my last driver's ed drive.

oh well.

naps;

11:30-45 slept for maybe ten minutes of it, woke up on time.

7:30-45 i didn't sleep for it but i got up on time and felt rested up. :)

i'm doing 15 minute naps, if you couldn't tell, six times a day. 3:30, 7:30, and 11:30 am and pm. :D

i'm super excited. i'll post more later. ;D
