Anyone tried polyphasic sleeping? aka uberman's sleep cycle

[InlineFour]

Polyphasic sleep is a sleep pattern specification intended to reduce sleep time to 2?5 hours daily. This is achieved by spreading out sleep into short naps of around 20?45 minutes throughout the day. This is supposed to allow for more waking hours with relatively high alertness.

Only the unemployed can do this. Who can take random naps throughout the day with a legit job?

How do you think ALL grandparents are able to stay awake after midnight, but up at the crack of dawn?

 

[thehstrybean]

I do it. I also sleep from 10pm - 5am, but on my break it's 12pm - 10am...And I nap through the day.

I should have done it while I was out on leave.

I tried, but the downfall of living in a fraternity house is being disturbed constantly.

 

[Sphexi]

I woke up yesterday at around 11pm, was up until roughly 5am, slept for an hour, then got up and went back to sleep at 5pm, slept until 8pm. Now I'm about to leave for work, won't be home until 7am tomorrow. At that point I'll go to bed and sleep as long as I feel like it though.

Bah... All of my grandparents went to bed by 8 PM. No wonder they were wide awake at 5:30!

Done - and sorry, I didn't realize that something as simple as an extra long text string would break the superior browser, Firefox.

Yeah me too, college was more like staying out till 5 or 6 and sleeping a little, then class a few hours. Back home to nap, class again followed by another nap so I had energy to go out again that night.
