PureDoxyk writes about the adaptation periods in her Ubersleep book. She claims that the Everyman cycle takes a longer time to fully adapt into than the full Uberman. She says that it should take about a week of adaptation to feel mostly normal. She also tested her cognitive skill with a memorization test, and only got back to the pre-adaption level after 6 weeks, even though she was feeling subjectively fine after 3 weeks.
Yikes. 6 weeks of impaired cognitive function would be psychologically difficult for me to deal with, I think.
Even when 3 of them are weeks where you wouldn't notice the impairment unless you were specifically testing for it?
Well now that I know I can't un-know. Point taken though, I imagine the 1st 3 weeks would be bad & the last 3 more bearable.
