Some people who try to adapt to a new sleep cycle feel like a zombie. Others get so tired that at times all they can do is stare at a blank wall. Still others have a hard time communicating with people during the initial days of their adaptation. In most cases changing a sleep cycle is almost impossible, and many people give up due to their body pressure to sleep.
I thought my experience would be similar for the first week of this, but I haven't found it to be the case at all. I thought it would be like a "Living Hell," but I'm just finding it to be an awesome experience. Why was my experience different?
One thing that I haven't mentioned so far is my diet while switching over. They say that fatty foods make adaptation harder, so I cut out all fat and have just been eating fruits and vegetables. Additionally, I've been drinking lots of lots of water. The result is this: body cleansing & a clearer mind. Both of those aspects are helping me in this quest.
I also wonder if my taking a longer nap occasionally is helping me adapt smoother. Maybe it has been better to gradually ease into this instead of doing a cold turkey.

The one weird thing that I sometimes experience is mild stomach aches. I don't know the cause of this or if it is just a body response while trying to conserve energy due to lack of sleep. In any case, it is just a little weird but not painful.
