My son (20) and I (52) decided to try adapting to the uberman schedule
this last week. At present we are on the 7th day and all appears to be
going well. We had a couple of nights of pretty bad sleep deprivation
but last night we felt pretty clear headed and about as tired as we
would normally be after being awake for 24 hours straight. I'm hoping
that means the worst part of the adaptation is over (because the
previous two nights were VERY unpleasant).

We've managed to keep each other on schedule and avoid oversleeping by
staggering our sleep times. So far we have a near perfect execution
with only single episode of less than 10 minutes each where we nodded
off accidentally. Quite a few times we've saved each other from a
screwup.

I'm blogging a log of each day at www.walkingdog.net if anyone is
interested in following along.

Matt,

It was mine and others experience that the worst days are 7-9 and then
glorious glory from then. I am curious to find out how it works for
you! It is so nice to have a partner!
