YO!!!
i tried this, its only rubbish for the 1st few weeks when your body adapts to the sleeping pattern. probably not recommended for peak performace workin out, but if u wanna research dream land, then its perfect. i did 20min naps every 4hours, it was intense the 1st few days, overnappin and feelin real tired. after a few weeks, the naps started feelin different, sumtimes id fall asleep str8 away and the second i fell asleep i heard the 20min alarm go off, that freaked me out a few times. other times id wake up at the alarm and it would feel like iv been asleep for hours. the best times were wat is called hypnogogia, inbtween sleep. id feel my body go sleep, but my mind wanders, and wat i was thinkin about turned into a semi dream, real quick flashes of lucidity, and sumtimes wen i kept focus i could b lucid for a few mintues.
polyphasic is pretty cool if you hav an empty schedule, and you wana amillion more minutes in your day. i was learnin spanish, and studyin freeman law xD i cudnt keep it up kuz it was messin wiv the relationship, i like fallen asleep wiv my lady and wakin up next to her, i started missin it too much to carry on xD learnt alot about my body through this, that switchover between wake/sleep is an interesting phaze.
The main goal for at all is REM sleep, and from some stuff i read thats when most of the tissue rebuilding happens, so with enough time your body can adapt to hit rem every 20 min nap, givin u 2hours of dream/rebuid time throughout the day. sounds good in theory, u jus gotta giv urself enough time to adapt.
xD
pieca peace
wow, amazing that someone actually did this.. great insight pope!
i imagine the worst thing would definitely be having that schedule conflict with your job, family, girlfriend, etc, like you said.. it would end up making things very difficult.. if you are a solo loner with not much obligations, sounds like it could be pretty cool, except how you say you wouldn't do it if you were into peak performance etc..
one thing i noticed since starting long distance running again, is that i am sleeping less every night.. but i feel alert/rested when i wake up.. i've been requiring 9 hours or so sleep for months, now i keep waking up with 7-8 feeling pretty good.
peace man, thanks for this post
