Polyphasic Sleep Logs
Steve Pavlina has decided to try polyphasic sleep to see how it goes (that is sleeping for 20 minutes every 4 hours). The idea is that after a two week adjustment period you can get by comfortably on only 2 hours sleep a day.
Uberman has the best polyphasic sleep log:
“During the first week, you WILL be tired, but actually I found that kind of fun. Day one and two, you just feel like you haven’t slept, and those naps aren’t doing you any good because you just toss around for twenty minutes, or, usually on day two, you drop off and then want to kill yourself when the alarm goes off 20 minutes later. Stick with it. Days 3-5, if you like to meditate, now’s the time. For one thing, with twenty-two waking hours per day, you’re gonna run out of things to do by this time. For another thing, you’ll be high as fuck by the end of the first week, as your body adjusts and your mind starts to get this really weird clear-dreaming feeling. If you’ve ever played with sleep deprivation, you know what high I’m talking about. And no, you won’t die on this schedule like you would if you just stopped sleeping or something; in fact, I was really getting the hang of it by day ten. By day twelve, I felt like a million bucks, and continued to feel that way for six more months.”
