Recently, we found out that what we experienced last weekend was the 'zombie phase':

Apparently, this is the time when your body starts to realize that it's getting too little sleep and tries to adjust to a 3 hour sleep instead of an 8 hour block of hibernation. This caused an upheaval of our sleep schedule last weekend and if you can recall from the previous posts, it is characterized by extreme sleepiness, fatigue and inability to function as a human being.
Thankfully, come Monday, things took a turn. Yes, the mornings are still a little rough (sleepiness but not really fatigue) but compared to last weekend, this is nothing. I feel like we have overcome the 'activation barrier' to transition from a monophasic sleep to polyphasic sleep.
Thomas already felt rested in the mornings and did not have a hard time getting up for the last 3 days. We are getting there!
