I thought the community may find this interesting...
I just heard about these today, and they sound pretty incredible. Apparently you can sleep as little as 2-3 hours a day and be perfectly refreshed by training your body to go directly into REM sleep (essentially by depriving yourself of sleep for the first week). There are two popular ones I was researching...
Uberman Sleep Schedule - six 20-30 minute naps every 4 hours. It's supposed to be extremely difficult to get into this rhythm, most people fail. But the people that do get on this schedule seem to love it. They say they feel incredibly refreshed from just 2-3 hours of sleep, and have tons of extra free time.
Everyman Sleep Schedule - one core sleep of 1-4 hours, and between two and four 20-30 minute naps (# depends on length of core sleep) throughout the day. Apparently this is a much easier schedule to get on, but consequently doesn't give quite as much free time.
I'm really intrigued by this, and I'd like to give it a try. Has anyone ever tried one of these? If so, I'd really like to hear about your experience. If you've never heard of it and you're interested and want more info, just google "uberman sleep schedule". Steve Pavlina has a blog about when he tried it out, definitely makes for an interesting read.
Also....I'm curious what effect this little sleep would have on muscle growth....any thoughts?
