Polyphasic Sleep

[StrapOnFetus]

Polyphasic Sleep: "Polyphasic sleep involves taking multiple short sleep periods throughout the day instead of getting all your sleep in one long chunk. A popular form of polyphasic sleep, the Uberman sleep schedule, suggests that you sleep 20-30 minutes six times per day, with equally spaced naps every 4 hours around the clock. This means youâEUTMre only sleeping 2-3 hours per day."

You got that? Good, this man tries it for a week and documents his experience, he also has the benefit of multiple perspectives. Very nicely done self experiment.

I've been interested in polyphasic sleep for quite awhile now, especially given that I have a lot of trouble keeping a monophasic sleep schedule in the first place. I have, however, never been able to try the uberman sleep schedule (imo, they should sell uberman alarm clocks that notify you when to sleep and when to wake, no alarm clock has 8 different alarms that I know of).

Thanks for the link, I'll have to read about the experience.

I thought you said Polyphasic Sheep. Now it makes sense. Very interesting.

It's just not very practical when living in a contemporary society based around monophasic sleep. If you have school or a 9 to 5 job you aint gonna be able to do it. I suppose if you work at home as a freelancer or something like that ( a writer?) then you could try it. Does seem interesting but not something i see myself ever doing.
