Lol every 4 hours you sleep 20 minutes. Best schedule ever.Ok so my bro bragged to his friends about how awesome I am for sleeping polyphasic, my parents read his facebook
and now they want me off the schedule. FML
Not that they can stop me, lol. They'll be too busy hibernating
can you go into more detail (again if you have already) on how it's going for you? im kinda curious :DOk so my bro bragged to his friends about how awesome I am for sleeping polyphasic, my parents read his facebook

how about, "sorry I have to cut out for 20 minutes halfway through this business meeting cause I need to sleep"i dont think it would be any different than
"sprry guys i cant see this movie cuz i work in 5 hours and i need to sleep"
I think that's the main point, actuallyisn't non-REM sleep important for you body, though?
LOL I don't think you could make anything sound as epic as this did LOL ok im sold. well not really but like i said, if you keep this up for awhile i'll be impressedMore time than I could ever want. The idea to me almost felt similar to immortality. With that time I'd be able to achieve anything.
did you watch those links? they really are supposed to be pokemonAlso, when you're adapting for the first week to Uberman's, you tend to be really irritable. Even if you tell yourself you won't be.
Did that bird shoot a fireball?Add me on SC2: Signia code 524

It's more than 2 hours, really. I take usually extra naps at night and regularly oversleep, sometimes on purpose. I usually feel great. Right now I have indigestion or stomach ache of some sort, that could be problematic. Too many poptarts, I think. Gotta eat healthier on this schedule, a downside, I guess. No caffeine, no drugs, no alchohol, unless you can deal with a crash. I got drunk 2 weeks ago and I overslept many times in a row afterward, a major setback. Just now feel fully recovered from that, but now I have this stomach ache... :/i'm really interested to hear about your experiences, though, other than just "i have more energy" or w/e
what are some of the upsides and downsides? do you really, actually, 100% honestly sleep with only 2 hours of sleep per day and feel OK? do you feel mentally sharp, and do you feel like you're performing well at the gym, building muscle, sports, school, attention span....???
??
that sounds very bad.The other sleep stages are not as essential, but you don't actually skip them, you just go through them very quickly.
Besides the rule of two people acting as one deal... there isnt much more to it besides funk strategies like resource sharing, wall-in to fast VRs on shared base, and other stuff like that...LOL I don't think you could make anything sound as epic as this did LOL ok im sold. well not really but like i said, if you keep this up for awhile i'll be impressed
Btw i feel you on the grades.... used to be me for awhile. really glad i was pulled out of that place but thats a long story
and omggg all of a sudden i have a crazy burst of energy. I'm soooo hyper right now someone fight me to the death
man someone teach me team game strategy in starcraft, they're like magnets, i dont get how they work
can you be more specific on how many hours you get a day? those extra hours at night make me wonder...It's more than 2 hours, really.

I do feel mentally sharp
I rarely went to the gym before I started doing this but I feel like I am performing well and my abdominals feel stronger already (It's been 2 weeks so far)
attention span is actually better but that's more a result of increased confidence from my self-improvement
btw it's been a month and half since I started.
in a sense.. technically, what ryan says is correct, they're only transition stages to REM, in which theyre technically not super significant in the sleep cycle (maybe besides stage 4 [deep sleep] which i feel is pretty important still) so its possible to kinda speed through them for maximal efficient sleep...that sounds very bad.

is it?
Isn't it possible that our body sleeps the way it does because of other factors aside from purely natural? Nature vs. Nurture, right?The thing that makes me worry about it is it's clearly not natural; our body rests the way it does for a reason that should be helpful in some way or form (otherwise we wouldn't be doing it). It is that unnaturalness that can make polyphasic sleep unhealthy...And which is why it requires a week and a half to prepare...Which is also why we're wondering what will happen in the long run...It may cause some abnormal side effects...Maybe...
interesting point... apes sleep biphasically... so ape society tells them to sleep at night? or is the sun being out considered a nurture argument and goes against animal nature to sleep polyphasically?Isn't it possible that our body sleeps the way it does because of other factors aside from purely natural? Nature vs. Nurture, right?
For example, perhaps we sleep the way we do because in times without electricity, we had to do everything during the daytime when there was light. There was no reason to stay awake during the night because you could not do anything. Thus, society sleeps during the night. Continuing to do so after electricity was made accessible could be because we are saving more energy by not using lights at night and sleeping still. Or...perhaps we're just too lazy to change to polyphasic sleep. After all, on the strongest part of the keyboard (the home row), why do we only use those letters 30% of the time?
P.S. Babies sleep polyphasically. I believe cats do as well.
