First of all this is not for everyone. Polyphasic Sleep is a whole lifestyle change and will most likely interfere with ever aspect of your daily life in some way or another but the rewards can out weight the consequences by a long shot. Let me lay down the definition of it so you can either close your browser in how stupid this sounds or you can keep reading and continue to be open minded. As defined by Wikipedia Polyphasic Sleep is:
(also known as Da Vinci sleep or Uberman sleep) is a sleep pattern intended to reduce sleep time to 2–5 hours daily. This is achieved by spreading out sleep into short naps of around 20–45 minutes throughout the day.
The biggest problem people encounter is that they over sleep when taking these short naps which ends up throwing off the whole sleep pattern and ends up driving them to quit. As I see it the most important thing is that you have something to do with all of this extra time so why not start that website youve been pushing aside….
I dont know anyone whos ever tryed the Polyphasic Sleep pattern but I do know Beni Arriola use to work for days before sleeping which I thought was awesome. Myabe thats how he knows so much… hmm.
Could you hang with the Polyphasic Sleep Pattern?

Phishie Diaz added these pithy words on Feb 19 07 at 10:02 amI used to have have a sleep pattern like this, although not quite as extreme. And also… I wouldn’t do it very often… I would just do it when I was just too damn tired to work.
Basically I would say that I wanted to get 7 hours of sleep a day. Well instead of going to bed at 12am and getting up at 7am. I would sleep any time, but only four 1-2 hours at a time. Then as soon as the alarm clock goes off, jump out of bed, and get crackin’ on whatever you need to do. It sounds kind of unhealthy… and maybe it was… but the energy boost you get feels quite nice. =]
Maybe some day when I make enough money to quit my job I’ll try this “true” polyphasic sleep pattern. Anything like that is worth a shot for me.

Marko added these pithy words on Feb 19 07 at 4:23 pmI was thinking work is the only thing that would really get in the way but I guess I could sleep for 20 minutes on my lunch break so it can work out. Im ready when you are Ryan and im dead serious.
