Polyphasic: FAIL

Family responsibilities over the last few days trumped my nap times, especially yesterday when I had to bring my youngest son with me to the office... try telling your energetic seven year old "Daddy has to turn out all the lights in the room and sleep for 30 minutes... you just sit there and do nothing, ok?" My babysitter informed me at 10p the night before she wouldn't make it, so I planned ahead for the lack of naps by sleeping all night. Although the other things that preceded this had hindered my napping, this effectively broke it. I tried to restart last night with a first nap, and woke up this morning with my sleep timer buried under my back.

I hate that I reached as far as I did only to have a small set of incidents occur together to derail me. But, at least now I do know that I can probably achieve this again if given some support to attempt it. My environment at home turned out to be less supportive of my experiment than I had expected. It's funny... you'd think it'd be the office that was less supportive.
