For real.

I Can't believe the build up of past resentment that I felt and started to act upon waking from my first polynap.

I've completed 2 previous commitments and have made two new commitments:
Completed 30 days no red meat (1 small misstep unintentionally)
Completed 7 day Juice fast.

Committed to 10 day polyphasic sleep on Uberman Sleep Schedule *(USS).
Committed to 30 day Juice fast.

With the amount of growing information on people adapting to USS there are several techniques that I will be using to enable adaptation. As presented here, this is an extra-ordinary fight that takes pushes discipline to a max. I am doing additional sleep-wakeup training to build autonomous patterns that will replace my monophonic patterns.

A Simple Replacement that I am using is:
1. Brush teeth.
2. Shower in cold water; alternate hot then cold as needed to wake up.
3. Drink water.
4. Walk around the block.
5. Blog current state and list 12 things to do that take 1 h or less.

I'm sleeping on 11, 3, 7 hours. On the 1, 5, 9 hours I will either practice wake ups (less then 2 minutes then do wake up routine) or full sleeps to push the schedule change faster.

This fight will go down in my favor if I have the diligence and persistence to overcome my own programming by creating new programming.

1. Get Big-Desktop working. (ATI Radeon + Ubuntu == playground fight)
2. Get Alarm software for Ubuntu that enables a password protected screensaver.
3. Get Secondary drive working / reading.
4. Remove carbon deposits on stove w/pumice stone.
5. Pack desk.
6. Scrub walls/windows.
7. Douse cat stench in enzymes.
8. Return beer bottles.
9. Get juice recipes.
10. Research programming the PS2.
11. Research 'Why we nap'.
12. Pack bathroom.
