The concept behind Polyphasic sleep is to break up one's normal nightly block of sleep into several short 20-40 minute naps spaced evenly throughout a 24 hour day...
In theory, this allows you not only to sleep much less than you typically would, giving you more waking hours of the day to accomplish things, but it also causes you to feel more rested and aware, as you are eventually conditioned to fall directly into REM sleep.
I searched and found an old thread on this, but I it wanted to make a new one to ask if anyone here has any personal experience with this.
I attempted last summer, but I found it too difficult to adjust and ended up giving up after about two weeks.
How about you?
If you've attempted it, please, share your story.
Or, if you're new to the concept, please also feel free to share your thoughts and discuss.
