Thread: I'm a Noob when it comes to Alternative Sleep Patterns...

I blame heebiejeebies for this topic...

Ok, what are all these different sleep schedules I'm seeing in this part of DV? Like, the Ubersleep schedule, the poly-something schedule, and others I can't think of. What are they??

Thanks.

Yea! For the lucid dreaming book here, there should be some kind of "Contents" section based on acronyms and various different methods of sleeping/dreaming, the acronym list on DV tutorials has very little expansion from the basic vernacular used here in the forums.

And... I'll suggest that you meant poly-phasic sleep, the Uberman schedule is sort of the same thing, poly-phasic sleep is basically the idea of splitting up the standard 8 hours of sleep you have, 2 popular ones are the Uberman and the Everyman.

Uberman is where you have little time to sleep but your body adjusts to it and you are able to run off just 3-4 hours sleep in a day.


The Everyman is where you split your time up into several sleep periods- Core sleep and naps, the core period where you probably sleep for 3 hours, then have 3 20 minute naps throughout spaced intervals of the 24hr day.


Can someone tell us anymore?!

This sleep system seems odd but interesting to me. Doesn't it greatly reduce dreaming?

I don't know. That's why I'm hoping someone that does know posts here.

Y'know, I'm interested as well. I have been meaning to research this for awhile now, and will do so, but I'd also appreciate any additional information provided in this thread.

Thanks!

I have just started a blog about the Uberman Sleep Schedule. Please take a look at it when you get the chance and let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
