Thread: How Long Can I Function Off Power Naps?

Well, if you don't strictly regulate your power naps, not too much longer than a few days.
However, if you manage to force your body into a Polyphasic Sleep Cycle then, supposedly, you can go almost indefinitely.
The problem with that is that the transition to polyphasic sleep is supposed to be killer and incredibly hard to get through.

By the way, an odd note--I used to be a Biphasic Sleeper, and I still revert to it every once in a while. In fact, I like to whenever I can because it gives kick-butt dreams and reduces the total amount of time I spend asleep.

I've read about Polyphasic sleep, but I'm not interested in that. I'd get to bored being awake 22/24 hours a day A few days sounds pretty good for unscheduled napping. I've now made up my sleep - slept 12 hours, from 10PM-10AM, and even a lucid

I created that article . Before it was just a redirect to polyphasic sleep (though it has changed a bit (and improved) since I created it). Biphasic sleep is definitely something I will be considering in the nearish future if my work load gets too great (though I plan on polyphasic sleep in college). Anyways, without donig polyphasic sleep you can probably only go a couple more days like this at most before you are unable to function properly, as without the regularity of Polyphasic sleep, it just won't work.
