| 11:20:08 Jul 26th 11 - Mr. Snoopy: I wouldn't recommend polyphasic if you plan on being creative and alert throughout the day. Byphasic is a lot better for being all there and keeping your wits about you. Polyphasic keeps you a bit sleep deprived the whole time and are a bit inconsistant, no matter how much you want to do it. :P better off 04:00-08:00 14:00-15:00 | ||||
| 19:22:30 Jul 26th 11 - Chris (Sir Kronos The Inactive): Awesome (: I'll tkae that into consideration. Have you tried either? Also - does coffee or other caffeinated drink affect the pattern much? | ||||
| 19:37:06 Jul 26th 11 - Mr. Snoopy: I've done a multitude of variations of polyphasic and biphasic sleeps, both on purpose and because I was really busy. Polyphasic *just* barely has you lucid enough to work two jobs, I know for sure. lol I often do three hours and then two hours, if I get a choice. But I end up doing Something like in your initial post (unwillingly) and the sleep isn't restful at all. Only laying down for about 15-30 minutes just makes you even more exhausted (no time to enter REM sleep, unless you conk out quick. lol) Thing with caffeine, aside from it being horrid for you, is that, with stimulants you end up crashing after it gets out of your system. So unless you can keep it in you the whole time, until you need sleep, then you'll just conk out or want to. If you take in too much or take it in for too long, there's a chance your sleep won't be very restful and it'll just wreck your bod, brah. You can actually get addicted to it, because it is a drug. lol | ||||
| 09:20:08 Jul 27th 11 - Chris (Sir Kronos The Inactive): Heard a lot about the biphasic being much better as of recent, maybe I'll try that one. I'm starting on saturday so woohoo! Wish me luck :P | ||||
| 14:01:44 Jul 27th 11 - ZeTa (VU Admin): Why would you like to do that? I've tried 03:30-08:00 That way I would have time for two works and training hard. After one week I where totally exhausted, so I stopped. The sleep is very important because it repairs the brain and send out various hormones that do things with your body. Interrupting it is bad. If you go on for a long time you will begin to make mistakes, like finding your remote control in the freezer and wondering how it got there. The important question is why you would want to do it. There are often alternatives that would work better. | ||||
