| Polyphasic Sleep |
It's a kind of sleeping schedule in which you sleep some 30minutes for 6 times a day. That's just 3 hours of sleep a day, compared to the usual 6-8... 3 hrs saving a day. THat's 21 hours more each week. You also feel very rested.
the catch? You must go to sleep exactly every 4 hours. If it's 5hours, you won't feel good and might even collapse...

The whole idea is interesting and great, but VERY impractical. There's a community of polyphasic sleepers on the net, with some 100 members.. not a lot, is it?
However, this technique is also used to reach other .. 'skills'..
such as, learning to go into REM (basically most important sleep phase) fast.
This enables you to sleep some 2 hours and you'll feel as rested as if you slept 5....
Anyone does this/heard of this?
Discuss you mighty people!
P.S.
I sound like some professor,eh? ;P

i do not recommend this to young people. growth hormone levels are highest during sleep.

i would suck at that, it takes me atleast 20 mins just to go off to sleep. but why do they do it? cant they just sleep... any reason behind it?
|
...more time to do ......stuff
|
That looks very interesting! but you kinda stuck if you miss one of your naps.
|
I do this in times of war.. Wake up for 10-15 mins, go back to sleep. Works fine indeed!
|
Heh, actually for VU life this would be great.. so you miss just a few ticks every now and then...
@Bruiant - that's why some people do this exercise. If yo ucan call that...
Going to polyphasic sleep makes your body get used to fall asleep/go into REM mode VERY fast. Usually it takes around 1-2 hours to go into REM. When in polyphasic sleep (takes some 2 weeks to adapt to it), your body learns to go into REM in just a few minutes.
I've a friend who took some 2 week course in which they taught him to do this, and when he "adapted" to it, they taught him to sleep just some 4hrs and still get a full night's rest.
Polyphasic sleep also increases the possibilities of getting a lucid dream...
