Yes, my experience was very similar. The nice thing about the schedule was that going to bed and waking up were very easy and natural, so it was easy to switch to the schedule. I went off of it when I went back to school and couldn't make it work. I would have liked to have the girlfriend excuse. :)

One really nice aspect of the system is that I was fully awake on Friday/Saturday night. I was learning how to dance at the time, being awake made that a lot easier.

On another note: this was a schedule I followed when I was in my early twenties. Now that I'm in my late 30's, following a conventional schedule is a LOT easier -- I'd never be able do this now.

Maybe that'll happen to me eventually. It wasn't a 28-hour cycle, certainly, but I've been on the overdrive until crash sleep schedule basically since I was born.

I don't see any end in sight. I have to stay up for almost 48 hours every few weeks when I actually have commitments (like a job) in the morning as a reset. It's annoying.
