polyphasic

Flexibility. Polyphasic sleep has been a lot more flexible than I first imagined.

Oversleeping seems to be the major problem that leads to premature derailment for almost everyone who tries adapting to polyphasic sleep.

Some people worry that if they were to adopt a polyphasic sleep schedule, it would distance them from the rest of humanity .

A few days later, it look liked I got sidetracked by the idea of undertaking this polyphasic sleep experiment.

Polyphasic sleep completely rewrote my whole concept of time, and I was totally unprepared for that.

I plan to post another polyphasic sleep update in about a week unless something major happens between now and then.

It's one thing to be a workaholic on monophasic sleep, but polyphasic sleep takes going overboard to a whole new level.

Flexibility. I've found that polyphasic sleep is much more flexible than I initially expected.

Optimum human performance appears best served by at least biphasic sleep and perhaps polyphasic sleep.

I'm starting this polyphasic sleep schedule today, so last night was my last night of "normal" sleep for a while.

Core Sleep: Core sleep is a period of longer rest, often 3-4 hours, that you could include as part of a polyphasic sleep schedule.

Since I work from home and have control over my schedule, I've decided to test polyphasic sleep to see what it's like.

I think my diet played a key role in my ability to adapt to polyphasic sleep. I'm not sure whether I could have done it otherwise.

For example, if I start doing all-day public seminars at some point, how well would a polyphasic pattern adapt?

They're the same in a few ways, too -- the ways that characterize polyphasic sleep, as I know it.

It will be interesting to see how polyphasic sleep adapts to this.

This was especially common among people who tested different sleep patterns, like biphasic or polyphasic sleep or simply waking up early.

Personal Adjustment. I'm gradually getting used to being a polyphasic sleeper.

This coincided with my switch to polyphasic sleep as well.

Polyphasic sleep involves taking multiple short sleep periods throughout the day instead of getting all your sleep in one long chunk.

After experiencing a polyphasic sleep pattern for the past few days, I still don't know what to make of it.

Boredom: Some people said they wouldn't want to try polyphasic sleep because they'd be bored with all that extra time.

To my knowledge these are the most detailed polyphasic sleep logs you'll be able to find anywhere on the web.

Keep in mind that polyphasic sleep is not remotely the same as sleep deprivation.

Before starting this polyphasic sleep experiment, I'd prefer working in a room where the temperature was 68-70 degrees F.

Polyphasic sleep has a very different feel than monophasic sleep.

I also found this habit extremely valuable during my polyphasic sleep experiment.

A Warning. I just want to warn anyone else considering polyphasic sleep that you do so at your own risk.

The Road Ahead. I'm going to continue with polyphasic sleep for now.

I've received some advice-filled emails from people who've previously tried polyphasic sleep.

By definition polyphasic sleep means you'll be taking multiple naps during a 24-hour period and spending more time awake at night.

Polyphasic Sleep and Diet. I've been wondering if there's a connection between polyphasic sleep and eating a healther diet.

I don't think the biggest risk of polyphasic sleep is that you'll fail to adapt to it.

Motivation. I had more reasons to succeed with polyphasic sleep than most people.

The past 24 hours of polyphasic sleep have been my best so far.

I may eventually develop a new sense of time based on my polyphasic sleep schedule, but for right now I have a more timeless feeling.

I've counted dozens of people who've begun attempting polyphasic sleep after reading (and crediting) my logs.

This is a treasure trove of free information for anyone interested in learning about my trial of polyphasic sleep.

Health Risks: If there are health risks related to polyphasic sleep, it's my understanding that they aren't yet known or documented.

So-called polyphasic sleep is seen in babies, the elderly and other animals (and Thomas Edison reportedly slept this way).

A couple days ago, I saw a post about polyphasic sleep on LifeHack. org.

Today is day 90 of my polyphasic sleep experiment.

But there are some drawbacks to polyphasic sleep that ultimately led me to decide to discontinue this pattern.

More Details on Naps: On my polyphasic schedule, I spend about 15-20 minutes asleep during each nap.

I've completed my first day on the polyphasic sleep schedule, napping for 20-30 minutes every four hours.

No Jetlag: A positive benefit of polyphasic sleep is that it seems unlikely you'll have a problem with jetlag ever again.

Perhaps the #1 question people have asked me about polyphasic sleep during the past 30 days was: Why me?

I've lasted 3 weeks now on the polyphasic sleep experiment.

This is the fourth one I've experienced since starting polyphasic sleep 64 days ago.

I plan to post another polyphasic sleep update on day 90, which will be January 18th, 2006.

The "Uberman" schedule, which was the first polyphasic schedule I experimented with, is very cool, but also really hard to adjust to.

Just before adapting to polyphasic sleep, my normal sleep period was about 10: 30pm to 5: 00am.
