Thread: A different sleeping technique?

I saw this technique somewhere that says sleeping every 4 hours in 30 minutes increments is supposed to get you lots of REM sleep in the long run, more than the amount you get when sleeping normally. Here's how it works:

You go to sleep at 8 a.m., set your alarm for 8:30 a.m., then take a nap again at 12 n.n., set your alarm for 12:30, then again at 4 pm, alarm at 4:30, etc.

For the first few days, you will want to kill yourself for not sleeping properly, and your mind feels like it's on fire, but in time your mind will play along and adjust to your new sleeping pattern, so that when you go to sleep, you go straight into REM sleep, and counting the number of minutes that you're asleep, a total of 180 minutes or 3 hours of REM! This is supposedly helpful for people who have lots of things to do but don't have the time. And apparently, this means more opportunities to LD

So can anyone back this claim up? I'm thinking it's the nREM sleep that rests the body.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the times you sleep are completely up to you. You can adjust the times depending on what's advantageous to you, as long as you sleep in 4 hour intervals for 30 minutes each.
