Yes, I see what you mean, but I think WBTB would be better anyway because first of all, it will be adding all those hours up to make you even more tired than you would be by waking up every hour. Secondly, wouldn't that just be annoying? Being woken up by your alarm clock every hour?

To Summarize, I don't like this new technique, it's just the annoying version of WBTB and it's hard enough for some people as it is. And besides, you're more tired in normal WBTB anyway.
