I'm considering going onto a polyphasic sleep schedule but my schedule doesn't seem to allow it. I've been looking at various sleep patterns on wikipedia |

I'm not entirely sure but I believe the basis of most forms of bi-phasic sleep is that you have naps of atleast 45 min length around 6 after walking up. At this time the body goes into a natural dip, in many hot countries it is culture to take a siesta around midday. While taking naps is very good, if they are to replace your main sleep they must be atleast 45 mins long for your body to get all the good effects. |

I don't have allot of time to myself so I could really do with the extra time and I've been looking into lucid dreaming and I read that these sorts of sleep patterns increase your chances of lucid dreaming since you enter REM sleep so soon after closing your eyes. |

Well I'll tell you something I've observed over the last few months. You can become a master lucid dreamer, no matter what technique. I used to wan't time to do stuff when I got home but soon after I started having Lucid Dreams I realised that cutting hours off your sleep is not worth it one bit. Leave it unchanged, sleep 8 hours a day and try not to think that you are wasting time sleeping but rather using the time wisely. After a few months of consistently trying DEILD I believe I have now mastered the technique, the problem is that if I don't sleep long enough I can't do DEILD. |

Even if I stick to my current sleeping routine then I will still be trying to lucid dream ( So you know i'll be sticking around! ). |
