Polyphasic Sleep
    #5268413 - 02/06/06 02:54 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

i am going to try this and see how it works out. basically, polyphasic sleep is sleeping for about 30 minutes every 4 hours. i will take a 30 minute nap at 12am, 4am, 8am, noon, 4pm, and 8pm.

i have yet to devise a way to wake myself up that wont wake up everyone within a 2 mile radius. i think i may use my ipod and ear buds. record 25 minutes of silence followed by something like rage against the machine or old nine inch nails. i will start this tomorrow at 8am.

i'll keep you guys updated.

ok, i just finished my playlist. radiohead - treefingers plays 8 times in a row. then to wake up is 'tool - mantra' then 'nin - the way out is through' to start to bring me out of sleep, then 'everclear - heroin girl' to make sure i am waking up.

i am getting excited about this. i will report back everytime i go to sleep and wake up (dialup permitting).

see you guys in 4 hours with the first installment

Ive heard some negative things about this.

The major one is that your body will set its circadian rhythm to this sleep cycle. Thus if you don't get that nap, it will feel as though you didn't sleep an entire night. Your body will start to need the sleep.

Also, you are depriving yourself of the deep sleep state. That is the point in sleep where your body and mind get the most rest.


An alternative to this is to break your sleep into 2/3 parts.

As an example, Ill use myself.

I have class at noon every weekday. So, I would go to bed at 8/9PM and sleep for four hours. Wake up around 1/2.
Around 6AM, I would go back to sleep. I would sleep until 10/11AM. Then repeat the cycle.
The key here is to not get into a completely steady cycle. On the weekends, I sleep the normal 8 full hours. Thus I do not NEED the first nap. However, just having the mindset that you're taking a nap and not a sleep will make it easy to wake up after only 4 hours of sleep.

The beauty of this is that there is never rushing to wake up. I never have to use an alarm as my body just 'knows' that I shouldn't be sleeping any more than 4 hours. This is vital to not feeling tired. You also will go into a deep sleep cycle twice before waking up, so the schedule never catches up to you.

Everyone I've ever heard try this, myself included, has not viewed it favorably.

back. i need to come up with a better way to wake myself. the noon, 4pm, 8pm, and midnight naps should be better because i can get my wife to wake me, but i forsee 4am and 8am tomorrow being a pain to wake from.

i am tired, but plan to stick with this for at least a month.

Your body was pretty much designed to sleep once, maybe twice per day.

I can only imagine the havok that may be wreaked-- unseen by you and I-- as a result of a polyphasic sleep rhythm.

Not to mention the fact that it would probably make a full-time job nearly impossible.

Wow, that sounds convenient. Must be nice  :smile:

And it gives you the chance to do experiments like this. How do you feel? Still tired?

noon nap went kind of odd. i went to bed at 12:15, probably fell asleep at 12:25. my wife said it took an amazing amount of work to get me to wake up. i awoke at 1:15, so i slept 50 minutes... i overshot by 20 minutes. we'll see how it effects my next nap at 4pm. i have to say, i dont know if i will be tired in an hour, though.

i feel like i've been tripping for a few days. you know, like when you eat 15 hits over the course of 24 hours. i feel sort of detached from myself, but seemingly able to focus. i doubt this is from the cycle because there is no way i am tuned into the cycle after 1/4 day. i attribute it to some body function that helps people survive and cope under stress. i very much think that i will get much worse before i start to get into the benefits of this.

Yeah I can't imagine the adjustment period would be too pleasant.
