Ah, 10:30 sleep nothing, 5:30 sleep I got woken up out of a dream from the alarm. Not enough to say yet, I'll blog about it if i notice anything or let you know.

It's awesome! I wanna try polyphasic sleep even more then before :).
How long have you been doing Everyman? When did you start to have lucid dreams regularly?
Look forward to it!Quote:

Also, I'm sure you have to do something so your body can get use to it and start to naturally wake up after every short nap no? Do you use an alarm to wake yourself up for the first couple days?
Perhaps I'll start trying today and post my results in a few days, since I am on spring break.
Definitely will have a bad impact on school, that's why I'm adapting to it in the school holidays. I was getting into 'zombie mode' last night and a bit and didn't want to process the information a youtube video gave me.
Well, difficult to say really. During the 24hrs of deprivation, and before, I tested my short-term memory, awareness, response time, and reasoning speed in maths on lumosity games. Obviously, this isn't a reliable method of testing due to random variation in ability, but during deprivation..
1. My short-term memory was better (I think because the objects on screen left after-effects more so - I could see the objects in position, even after they disappeared).
2. Awareness remained relatively unchanged, slight improvement (again, the objects that appeared in random areas of the screens left greater impressions, and so appeared to 'fade out' rather than instantly disappear).
3. lol - response time was much worse.
4. Quickness at solving basic sums was severely affected unless it was merely a matter of pure recall.
Of course, this is the stage required that precedes the onset of adjustment to the routine: literally, 24hrs of wakefulness. Not surprised tbh.
Awesome! I've just recently started the uberman schedule.
I have also been thinking about this, but there are some things that concern me.
I am 15 years old, meaning that i am still growing. I have read that the development horomones are produced while sleeping, so I suspect sleeping 6 hours less than before will disturb my developing. Maybe the body adapts to the schedule and produces the same ammount of hormones anyway? I do not know, scince I have not been able to find anyone my age who has done this before. Maybe trying this at my age is just stupid? If anyone has, please tell me.
Also, there is the obvious question of permanent damage in case of failure to adapt to the schedule. This doesn't worry me too much, scince i belive most of the effects of sleep deprivation go away with good sleep.
I am aiming for the first month of the holidays, with the uberman schedule.
If this helps.. I found a summarized guide with nice graphics about polyphasic sleep :)

If everyone's trying it, I suppose I may as well! I'm undecided between 2 or 3 naps, though.
Well, I know that everyman+2 naps is very unpopular. So either triphasic like myself or everyman+3 naps. Or biphasic is usually easier for people.
I'm still doing this SPAMAYL and feel varying amounts of wakefulness and tiredness. Though I can't 'fall' into naps so easily, so it's quite difficult to nap (20mins) about 10 times a day.
Yeah, I'm stopping triphasic for a while actually. I might look into something else as SPAMAYL (still think Freeman is a better name) or an alternate one to that. One with more flexibility I would say.
Yeah the name is awful, spam ale, spam mail.
I think the concept works nicely because you sleep whenever your body feel likes it, but you train it to adapt by only allowing 20 minute naps. So you get adaptation and great flexibility. The only problem seems to be when you need a block of 7 hours of wakefulness....a couple of 20 minute naps preceding that block doesn't seem like it'd cut it.
I think it can cut it but not often. I have school for 8 hours (7-3) I need to be awake during all of that so it can be tough. Might have to settle for biphasic but don't want to.
How about a modified Spam Mail, where you have a 3 hour core preceding that 8 hour block, and then anything after that stays in accord with 'napping when you wish'?
That actually sounds pretty good. Similar to everyman but more flexible.
Although, do you think 3 hour sleep could get me through 8 hours?
There's only one way to find out. ^_^
Heh, I suppose so.
what sorcery is this? Heh... So.. what's the catch about polyphasic sleep? wikipedia basically says that "we don't know if NREM phases are important to humans".
You know..this somehow sounds too good to be true. has anyone tried deliberately to search some negative info about this? :o just to be sure that is.

Nice me catsta
I have 8 hour workdays From 8am to 4pm.. I could try something like this..

Green is the work
Blue is naps and core sleep
This could work? I'm afraid I'll push the REM stages to the core sleep phase if that's even possible
I don't get the graph I'm sorry. Can I have it in text form?
So its basically what was said before.
I have work from 8-16. So I get my core sleep before that, which would be 3:30-6:30. Additionally... I take a nap just after work, in the evening (around 20) and at the midnight.
That way I'd have my chances with lucidity around the nap times.
