I'm just curious, how many times have you gone on and off of polyphasic sleep so far? I know you have been experimenting for a while with it, and I wonder, does that first week get easier to do every time you restart hexaphasic sleeping? I doubt my schedule will allow it for the next few years (more acurately know it won't), but I will probably try it in college if my schedule allows. |

Well, I've halfheartedly started a couple of times. But if you only count serious attempts, perhaps 3 or 4 times. |

You know, I am truly quite stupid. I keep seeing your username on this board, Placebo, and think, "huh, that's very familiar, for some reason." I think I've figured it out: are you the bloke who created the polyphasic sleep soundtrack? |

Book is out of print and I can't find it at Amazon or Powells. Do you have a copy Placebo? Seems like it might be a pretty dry read though. |

Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames.
I'm skeptical off polyphasic sleepers as their is no proof of it working just people words. You would think one sleep expert would publish a peer science review on this. |

The planet Earth exhibits all of these properties and therefore can be considered alive and its own single organism by the scientific definition.does the planet Earth reproduce, well no unless you count the moon.7. Reproduction: The ability to produce new organisms.
Like Placebo said, polyphasic sleep goes against everything that sleep experts "know" (and think they know), and therefore they will hate the idea as it is something weird and different. Also if you take a pool of people, almost all of them would not be able to/want to polyphasic sleep because it doesn't fit their schedule (that would be me) or they can't take the first couple weeks, or they are scared of trying it. Now take that pool of people who are willing to try it; most of these people are not bloggers who can/want to write all about their experiences online for other people to read, and even less of these people want to become lab rats, and be experimented on by scientists in a controlled experiment to see the effect of polyphasic sleep, so it would be very difficult to find enough people to study (and scientists interested in doing the study) to do a peer science review on it. |

Thanks for the snippet on the good doc, that should introduce everyone nicely. |

It's night two, midnight. I'm struggling a bit. Tempted to take an extra nap, but fighting the urge. |

'Polyphasic' doesn't necessarily have to mean 'strict Uberman.' Any schedule in which one sleeps more than once a day can be considered polyphasic. |

Lucid dreaming used to be considered unscientific and kooky. |

Sounds like you're keeping busy, which is probably good for staving off the urge to go sneak extra naps. Excess downtime seems to make sleepiness worse. Anyways, keep it up! |

wendylove - Nobody is asking you to believe me. I can't 'prove' it to you over the internet, and honestly I have no desire to. Polyphasic sleep has been previously documented and published by at least one doctor known to the scientific community. If that isn't good enough for you, then how can I possibly help? |
