You can sleep 4 hours each night if you take naps throughout the day.

Not only does this increase your total awake hours, it also improves concentration and acuteness.

If you are interested in studying sleep effectiveness, try to pick up a copy of Why We Nap by Claudio Stampi

We tried this and failed miserably. http://reddit.blogspot.com/2005/10/polyphasic-sleep-groggy-j...

Interesting, and cool you tried it (sounds like Uberman if it was Steve Pavlina).

If you feel inclined to try again feel free to email me, I might be able to offer some help.. You can compromise with an Everyman polyphasic schedule..

I've been dying to try poliphasic dream for a long time (that's kinda why I asked). Too bad the rest of the world is monophasic :-(

I did biphasic when I was working full time. It mostly worked.
