  1. I am currently doing polyphasic sleep, and have been actively doing this for 3 weeks so far. The reason I started was that I heard about polyphasic sleep (interestingly enough from an article trying to say why the variant known as Uberman sleep wouldn't work). I started out with Biphasic for roughtly a month, getting my sleep down to a total of 6 hours a sleep, but now I have switched to polyphasic - and it is not easy to adapt, though I seem to have a better time at it than others I have seen logs of.My current schedule is 30 minute naps every 4 hours, which makes it a total of three hours of sleep a day. The main reasoning I keep hearing for why this works is because the body trips a survival mechanism that tells the mind to adapt to the amount of sleep it is getting..I have had a good deal of success with polyphasic sleep, just this last weekend I was awake for the usual 21 hours a day without being tired during the wake times. This said, I do have days where staying awake during the morning (1-5am is a popular time for this tiredness) is pretty hard and I have to fight just to keep to my schedule. I am going to have to keep better detailed logs of stuff like missed naps, or delayed nap (the delayed naps are unavoidable with my current study), and then compare said logs to tiredness.. see if I can track it down once and for all.I am wide awake most of the time, and I wouldn't be contiuning if I didn't think this could happen.. but then I do try out strange stuff like this on a whim to see if it works for me.
