Comment on Polyphasic sleep, consciousness development, and addiction (workaholism etc) by Olga

Hey, how is your schedule going so far? I have just learned about polyphasic sleep. I kind of wish I knew about it while I was in college. I had broken down my sleep into several naps and core, but didn’t know that it was called polyphasic, I was just exhausted. I was working at starbucks and had shifts that started from 4 am to 10 or 12 depending on what time class started and then I would try to nap between classes or my next shift. I started dreaming during those short naps, so I guess I adapted.

Now that I just recently learned about this, I am trying it out while I have a flexible enough job, where I can leave for 20 minutes or so throughout the day to nap in my car and it won’t be a big deal. I think it’s a fantastic way to gain extra time, as I always feel I don’t have enough of it. There are always chores to do at home, side projects, reading, working out, downloading music, etc. So it would be a fantastic way for me to create more time for myself. And hopefully catch up with a seemingly never ending list of things to do :).

Hope you’re doing great and have already adapted. Best of luck!

Hey!
Yes, I’m reading this and I can fully identify with anything in this post.
From the relationship to work (I’m actually still a high-school student, but I work on time-intensive projects beside school)- I can work on a project 8 hours a day BESIDES school for weeks, and after that do not touch it for weeks either, even if I have team members who rely on me working steadily and reliable, to the polyphasic-sleeping part, I think I know how you feel.

If you want to contact me, feel free, I think you can look up my mail address with this post.

Good luck,
Rasmus

Comment on Uberman sleep vs. Everyman sleep, Day minus 5 by Nate

Judy,
What can you tell me now about the adaptation to Everyman? I’m trying to adapt right now, but if I have to go through 1-2 months of pain to adapt, it’s not going to work (since I’m a student in the middle of a semester). Any tips on adapting quickly or with minimal pain? I’ve been severely stepping down my sleep in the last few days, but I’m not sure how I ought to do my naps so that they help me adapt better. Any ideas?
If you visit my blog and leave a comment anywhere, I’ll get it. Thanks!

Especially when you’re sick, your body needs as much rest as it can get – especially when you want to make such a huge change in your daily schedule.

Be sure to keep us updated on your progression.

Hi Marc!

Thanks for the kind words on my blog.

To answer your question, I was polyphasic for about a year starting in 2006 and am planning on going at it again soon.

Maybe we’ll be starting at the same time.
