Polyphasic Sleep – A Wife’s Perspective

Part 1

(Part 2 of: How Not to Convert to the Polyphasic Sleep Schedule)

I LOVE HIM TO BITS, BUT IF HE KEEPS UP WITH THIS I’M OUT OF HERE…

When Timmy first told me about polyphasic sleep I thought it was going to be another one of those phases he goes through. He said he was going to cut his sleep down to 2 hours per night. I thought he was crazy.

He explained it to me and I still thought he was crazy. About a week later he was still talking about it, “getting me ready”, for the big changes ahead and I realized he was serious.

I even thought about doing it myself. I could use those extra hours in the day. I cook and clean and do just about everything else as well as run my own own bindery (I’m a bookbinder) in the front of the house. I’m also trying to get my own art off the ground and I thought it could work for me.

Bananas! I must have been in a delusion. The last month has been ridiculous.

Timmy has a lot on his plate. He does all my paperwork, he is building my website and he does all my digital work, and he is making me a brochure. Never mind the fact that he’s been working on that brochure for over six months. Longer, a year maybe. I wait patiently. I thought perhaps he might get something done if he had more time. I really, really need that brochure. He means well. But how much Photoshop do you need to learn just to make a simple brochure? Well apparently quite a bit and so I wait.

Anyway that’s not what this is about. This is about a man who decides he’s only going get two hours of sleep per night spread out over a series of 20 minute naps.

What do you think might happen?
