Polyphasic sleep has changed my life. At least it has changed the last week. I have started eating healthier. I get at least 3 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. I figured if I was depriving my body of sleep I might as well give it more nutrients. Then, what started out as an activity to try and stay awake has turned into running everyday this week. And I feel great because of all of it. Hopefully I am going to learn some more self-discipline once I start getting better about waking up from my naps.

Then in addition to that this study has inspired me further. I am going to take a shower with my eyes closed this morning! I will go into the bathroom, put my back to the door and close my eyes. That means I have to find my soap, my shampoo and the shower. Wish me luck. You all should try it too!

   I have a feling that showering with my eyes closed would be spectacularly unsuccessful for me, if only because my soap, shampoo, and conditioner are all in bottles that are shaped exactly the same and weigh exactly the same. I suppose I could start honing my sense of smell....

   So I took my first shower with my eyes closed tonight. It was mostly anti climactic. When I decided to do it I didn't realize that I would have to get shampoo from the container without really any clue as to how much was in my hand. That was pretty exciting. I didn't get quite enough.

   Mostly, I just got tired of having to keep my eyes closed and really wanted to open them. Though I did turn on the heat light in the bathroom. I wonder if it wouldn't have been as big of a deal if I had just left the lights off. We'll see tomorrow!

   I really want to try this thing about keeping your eyes closed. I looked at the study. I mean, it just takes 7 days according to that article. And, I feel like I have been getting progressively more stupid since I started this semester. I just need to remember to do it before I take a shower.

   I just took another shower. I turned the lights off this time. But it creeped the hell out of me and turned them on.
