Thread: Attempt Polyphasic Sleeping

So if you're 15 and you'd like to be tall, don't experiment with this. Or keep your experiment brief.

Yes! I completely forgot about conditional things like that.

Also pregnancy and if you are taking certain kinds of medication, both big ones too.

Thank for the support =]

Depending on when it will take place, I might give it a go!

However, I'm still very uncertain about the actual healthiness of the whole thing. I have read a lot about polyphasic sleep, and one link I read (can't remember where I found it I'm afraid...) seemed to make sense when it explained very scientifically why polyphasic sleep was bad for your health.

Oh, I found it again, so here it is: http://www.supermemo.com/articles/polyphasic.htm . But if you feel like it's a bit long, maybe reading only the Polyphasic sleep for dummies part: http://www.supermemo.com/articles/po...0for%20dummies

If someone has a link to a scientific explanation that evidences that the link above is just a bunch of inconsistencies, I'd be glad to give it a read!

Until then, I'll think about this polyphasic sleep experiment or not. But it's a great idea to gather people on DreamViews to attempt this. Maybe we can do it a bit like Battle Royale: 42 people in a forum and having to fight against sleep until there is only one polyphasic sleeper left!

I'm going to have to look into this a little more and assess my lifestyle before I try it, but I am very interested.

I'll be honest, I have only skimmed this idea so ar but it sounds good, summer holidays for me so I have some very flexible hours, don't worry I'm nearly 18, going to uni soon yeah yeah yeah, but I digest (family guy joke). Long story short, I could very well be in.

I might give this a go, actually.

i'm in, but it has to be done over this summer.i also am turning eighteen shortly,this month, woot!, but i'm okay.i have read a bit about this and it is supposed to be better for you in the long run .after you get used to it, than just one huge chunk of sleep.many wild animals ,such as wolves, sleep like this and is one reason why they are able to survive.this sleep pattern is proven to increase brain activity and stamina.
