NOT FUNNY.</p>
<p>By the way though, if you are really wanting to do just 4 hours/day, POLYPHASIC SLEEPING WORKS. Uberman sleeping, whatever you want to call it.
It’s called polyphasic sleep. You sleedp 20 min every 4 hours (if this can fit in your schedule), but then only 2 hours every night. It takes 10 days to get into though…and beware…they are a VERY DIFFICULT ten days. You will need a ton of self control and discipline. </p>
<p>people have reported
more energy
more vivid dreams</p>
<p>good luck, it will be very very hard though
is not entirely true, at least the way I understood it. You don’t also “sleep 2 hours/night” because that would defeat the purpose. </p>
<p>Here’s a quote from an INCREDDDDDDDIBLE site. incredible. if you have spare time (which you obv do if you’re on CC duh), read the blog of polyphasic sleeping by the epic Mr. Steve Pavlina.
<a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/10/polyphasic-sleep/%5Dyou">http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/10/polyphasic-sleep/:
you</a> sleep 20-30 minutes six times per day, with equally spaced naps every 4 hours around the clock. This means you’re only sleeping 2-3 hours per day. I’d previously heard of polyphasic sleep, but until now I hadn’t come across practical schedules that people seem to be reporting interesting results with.</p>
<p>Under this sleep schedule, your sleep times might be at 2am, 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, and 10pm. And each time you’d sleep for only 20-30 minutes. This is nice because the times are the same whether AM or PM, and they’re consistent from day to day as well, so you can still maintain a regular daily schedule, albeit a very different one.</p>
<p>How can this sleep schedule work? Supposedly it takes about a week to adjust to it. A normal sleep cycle is 90 minutes, and REM sleep occurs late in this cycle. REM is the most important phase of sleep, the one in which you experience dreams, and when deprived of REM for too long, you suffer serious negative consequences. Polyphasic sleep conditions your body to learn to enter REM sleep immediately when you begin sleeping instead of much later in the sleep cycle. So during the first week you experience sleep deprivation as your body learns to adapt to shorter sleep cycles, but after the adaptation you’ll feel fine, maybe even better than before.</p>
<p>It requires some discipline to successfully transition to this cycle, as well as a flexible schedule that allows it. While you’ll be sleeping a lot less, apparently it’s very important to sleep at the required times and not miss naps.
</p>
<p>so anyway, polyphasic is awesome IF you can transition, IF you have willpower to not take longer naps or skip naps, IF you have a schedule that can work around sleeping every few hours.</p>
