My experiment with polyphasic sleep

[thissean]

I am conducting a study that may interest some of you. What I am trying to do is complete a week of following the pattern of a polyphasic sleep cycle. Most people sleep 6-8 hours (or at least 4 hours minimum) where as someone following the polyphasic sleep cycle will nap 30 minutes every four hours. If you are able to complete one day, you get 5 extra hours of sleep.

I am keeping a day to day log of my progress and sharing it on a blog. I am currently on my 3rd day as of writing this. If you are interested, there is more info in my blog linked here: http://polyphasicsleepsean.blogspot.com/

Feedback, comments and criticism is appreciated

I'd love to know what this has to do with pumping girls. I often wonder why i'm on this site because last night I took home a 32 yr old blonde HB 8 and i'm 20.

Thanks to all you guys (esp pook) who gave me the advice i know today.

This should be moved to the Health and Fitness forum.

Anyways, proceed with caution thissean. A half hour of sleep does not sound long enough to give you the deep, restorative REM sleep that your body needs. This catnap schedule sounds more like something a combat soldier would use as a stop-gap measure during a mission. As in other areas in life: sleep isn't about the quantity, it is about the quality.

I'd still love to know how sleep is "sosuave"

30 mins sleep a day every 4 hours

6 (4 Hours in one day)

6 x 30 mins sleep - 3 hours sleep a day

Your maths is wrong my pedigree chum

Whats the point of this exercise?
