Hey everyone!
This is a long post, but some People? might find it interesting. So, bare with me :/
This is a pretty strange question, but I need some help, none the less. I'm writing my senior research paper in May of 2008. It needs to be a correlation between to things, so I've chosen: Energy Levels and different sleeping and eating habits.
I'm not sure if anyone knows whatt BI-phasic sleeping is? It's where you sleep in two chunks instead of one long chunk at night, usually adding up to either 4.5 hours, or 6 hours of sleep. I would be sleeping from 2:00a.m.- 6:30a.m. and a 1.5 hour nap at 3:00p.m. The schedule is very lenient on your sleeping times, it doesn't have to be concrete...at all. There has been tons of research on it, and I've done up to a month on this schedule with a huge energy increase, surprising even to me!
Now the change in diet, which I did for about 3 weeks was an all-raw Vegan diet. Meaning you don't eat anything processed. I had a HUGE energy increase doing this as well.
Now, I've found a way to measure my energy levels. Three times a day, morning, afternoon, and night, I'm going to rate myself on a scale that I've devised. Goes something like this 1- What's going on...where am I? 3- I can't keep my eyes open 5- I'm functioning, but I could do better... 7- I feel pretty awake, I think I can handle whatever happens 10- BRING IT ON! I can handle anything and I'm ready to go.
When recording this change I'm (hopefully) going to use an excel spread sheet so I can see percent increases for different variables later on. How should I format this?
Something like this maybe?
Fell asleep (time) Woke up Energy- Morning Energy- afternoon Energy- Night
And of course a coulmn with the dates. I'm not sure how to add in the change in diet? And if I find a way, should I add in what I ate as well?
I'm REALLY sorry for the long post, I am just stumped as to how to record my progress, and what to record. If you're willing to reply that'd be awesome!
Thanks!
