Is there any real benefits to attempting polyphasic sleep? I was thinking of giving it a go but I have kind of a busy schedule this year and don't want to feel drowsy 24/7 which can be the case even with a few hours of lack of sleep I've noticed or slight deviation from my sleep cycle. Taking those short naps just doesn't seem like it would work in the long run but I haven't attempted it myself so I'm not sure the case. |

I'm going to give it an attempt in a bit (within the next week maybe) I just don't know if I'm the right person for it. I'm having trouble getting readjusted to morning as it is :S. Especially since I do WBTB all the time. |

That groggy feeling is hard to get over. Is there anyway anyone knows to avoid that? Even slight deviation from sleep cycle can cause that I noticed... Like some days I barely get any sleep and I don't have that feeling. Other days I get alot of sleep or more than enough sleep yet it still doesn't happen... |

I would read this artical before you made a decision, just so you know exactly what the opposers to polyphasic sleep think and why. http://www.supermemo.com/articles/polyphasic.htm |

The supermemo article has been heavily critised in the past for not having a legitimate source. It is not a good example of criticisms of polyphasic schedules. Although, I can give you a few: |

I think that the fact that attempting polyphasic sleep would leave me extremely tired is why I avoided doing something like that, since it defeats the purpose of sleep. Also, I can't exactly cite anything, but I've been told by a psychiatrist friend that the later hours of a block of sleep are when more of the "restoration" and healing occur ... I don't know for sure, so look it up. |
