Supposabily Lds with this pattern are amazing and you can WILD at all times basicly. Pretty much its really hard to get into the sleep pattern first becuase you are getting barily any REM sleep which is the sleep that rests your brain. After your body get used to it you stop going through other sections of sleep. So basicly all you get is REM sleep. So in all you end up getting about the same ammount of REM sleep as a 8hour sleep cycle. So your brain gets just as much rest. This sleep cycle is good for business people that dont do much physically. I go to the gym every morning so this wouldnt work for me sense your physical body doesnt get much rest at all. |

This has varied for me quite a bit. Right now I'm working on increasing the number of times I sleep and decreasing the total hours and my dreams are either missing (completely unmemorable) or somewhat tumultuous. In the past when I get fully into the cycle they can be quite vivid. Can't speak about LD possibilities as I haven't tried to deliberately induce them (yet). |

Not yet. I've begun reading the docs on this website though, will try to get through all of them before I begin any deliberate LD experimentation. |

Smooth transition indeed - and cute way to let us early risers know what was going on at 5:00 this morning. Bravo... sleep lucid! |

Next big question. What exactly is the sleep patern you're supposed to follow? Or how would one go about setting this sort of schedule up? Another thing that concerned me; just how important is it to rigidly stick to your schedule once it's set. Seems like it would make it difficult to make an impromptu plans, eh? |

lol there's part in Neil Strauss's "The Game" where he and some guy try this. |

Definitely some of the big issues. Things like the the Uberman sleep schedule are pretty rigid, and you have to sleep for 20 minutes every 4 hours, all day, every day (you can take one longer sleep once per day). I tried that for a while. Was very hard to maintain, in part because of what you mentioned, it makes it hard to have flexibility with your day. Plus, you are programming yourself to get *very* sleepy every 4 hours, which can make things difficult if you have to delay a sleep session. |

I'm thinking about trying this, but I'm one of those guys who really likes his sleep. It might prove difficult. So you just take naps when you get the time throughout the day, then go to bed at, say, midnight and get up at 2am? |
|
Pretty much. I *really* like my sleep too, but I must say when I'm only getting a few hours a day I like what I'm getting even more |

I am not bound by kids, jobs, school, or a husband; ah, the life of a home schooled teen. Could you just turn to your cat for a sleep pattern and take cat naps with them? Though, I think cats sleep more than even the Uberman sleep schedule suggests. |

I've spent many nights chatting with Placebo about polyphasic sleep. He's like a walking talking encyclopedia on the subject. |
|
If I sleep during the day it makes me feel ill |
|
So basically, polyphasic sleep is probably the best for lucid dreaming, but only recommended if it doesn't harm one's schedule. |
|
LD Count: 7
Longest time in a lucid dreamstate: ~6 seconds
Still, the most epic six seconds I have ever experienced...
The problem with the nap part of Biphasic, is that you need to have it whem you start to feel sleepy during the day and this can happen any time, manly just after noon, obviously this depends on what time you get up. |
|
Good comments. I did the one-nap-per day thing for years. After lunch does usually work best for that, though I find if I eat too much I end up groggy after waking up. I picked up the noon nap habit up in south america. In lots of cultures these siestas are a big part of life, and the reason you see restaurants which don't even open for dinner until 9pm. |

I wish I could remember or find the name of this person. But, he was able to sleep 1.5 hours a day, by taking 15 minute naps at certain intervals. Someone tried mimicking him, but was only able to get about 2.5 hours a day. |
|
You're probably thinking of the most famous painter of all: Leonardo Da Vinci. He supposedly slept in no more than 15 minute intervals. Don't know whether that's really true or not, but it would explain how he was able to be more productive than anyone else in a 500 year time span except for Shakespeare and a couple mathematicians. |

Thats right, I think it was him. |
