My attempt at polyphasic sleep, part 4

Log for day 4:
  • Yesterday's naps were hard for me to fall asleep due to external noise. Fell asleep for core very easily, woke up easily at 02:30 but felt a little sleepy, went downstairs to stretch and wasn't sure why my chest suddenly hurt and face was sore - magically it was 04:00 and I was face down on the living room carpet having crashed (guessing I microslept while stretching lying down?). Clearly crashing like this is dangerous and I was lucky this was in a safe and controlled situation with no one else put at risk but I'm altering the schedule to something more forgiving today onwards (settled on E2-ext moved earlier and planned naps to coincide with train commutes during the academic year in the freak chance this is the only time I can nap) - 21:30-03:30 08:10-08:30 17:20. The new plan is to adapt to something much more forgiving and to be able to flex the naps within the commute window (or to learn to nap standing like a horse would lol). I reverted to mono for the rest of the night to be functional for today's tasks and plan to return to adapting from tonight onwards as 6+ hours would normally be my usual mono sleep time.
