[...] 最極端的狀況是完全沒有 core sleep 而只靠 nap 來補充睡眠，也就是 uberman sleep schedule。這種情況之下，每四個小時睡二十分鐘就可以了，一天總睡眠時數僅僅只有兩小時。當然這樣的 schedule 是非常瘋狂的，因為不管你是處於開會狀態，人在捷運上，還是在約會，每四個小時就一定睡那二十分鐘，如果沒 follow 到的話你會非常非常難受。所以儘管 uberman 非常誘人，筆者短期內並沒有打算親身嘗試。個人覺得套用這種觀念，但取一個中間值較好，例如 core sleep 三到四個小時，nap 三到四次似乎是比較合理的作法。據說拿破崙每天只睡四個小時，但即便身在馬背上、戰場上均可睡，應該就是不知不覺實踐了 polyphasic sleep。另外，早睡早起也算是另外一種 hack。據說早點睡可以讓人用比較短的睡眠時間就達到相同的睡眠效果。所以許多成功者都是晨型人，或許也不是偶然。 [...]

That sounds pretty damn awesome.

Actually now that I think about it, on days that I’m really busy, I also get by with 20 minute naps pretty well. Whereas on not-so-busy days, I often take a long 2-hour or so sleep in the afternoon. Maybe one of the keys to polyphasicity is always having plenty of stuff to do?

From 0300 to 0930 is probably the longest I go without a nap but because its after my long 3 hour sleep I don’t get tired.

My work day just flys by because I have 3 naps at work plus my job is fairly engaging so I don’t dread going there.

I don’t nap in the evening usually, and if I have stuff to do with friends its not a problem. I do find I get tired when I get bored in the evening so I have to keep busy.

I do make myself go to bed at midnight every night but that rarely cuts into my social life because all my friends are late 20s early 30s so they are in bed anyway.

That sounds awesome, Ethan! How long do you generally go without a nap before you get tired? Do you sometimes hang out with friends in the evening and does it work fine with your sleep schedule?

I have been having decent success with a version of “Everyman” sleep schedule.

Midnight to 3am (3 hours sleep)
3 x 20 min breaks (1 hour sleep)

I do the naps at my 8-5 full time job which works perfectly. I get breaks @ 0930 / 1200 / 1430
Perfectly spaced through out the day so I always feel refreshed.

I get loads of reading and blogging done between 3am and 6:30am then off to work, get a sweet parking spot because I am the first one in.

Have my regular naps through out the day in my car or the couch in the break room (I get some wierd looks I will admin).

Then 5pm to Midnight I either do more blogging or just sit around playing video games and watching movies.

I also don’t ingest caffine, alcohol, drugs, etc. I am transitioning to be a Raw food Vegan so my digestive system has it pretty easy and is not taking up much of my energy with digestion.

I have been doing this for the last 3 months and it works very well. I occasionally get tired after work. I simply have an extra 20 min nap and I am fine.

Anyway this is what I currently do and it works quite well.

20 Hours of Time to Do Stuff is Pretty Good…not 22 but its still alot.

im curious why your post had the title 6 awesome mindstates you can experience, there was nothing about that. on polyphasic sleep, i have a couple comments. 1) for people who are worried about it being dangerous, sleeping more than once per day is actually the normal way to sleep and is how everyone slept before artificial light (for scientific backing, check out segmented sleep on wikipedia, and check out its sources) and is how nearly all animals sleep. however, sleeping in 20 min. increments is NOT how humans ever slept in the past, except perhaps in emergency situations. ideally you need a core sleep, which is why i think the everyman sleep schedule is much more natural, but similar to the uberman schedule. i wont try it (or if i do it will be a very short experiment, maybe a couple weeks) because we have those other stages of sleep for a reason, and there is no evidence (that ive ever seen or read at least) to back up your claim that you magically slip into REM sleep, and the science i have seen points to this being purely anecdotal and is incorrect. the fact that you dream doesnt mean you are in REM, you have dreams in the other stages as well and your brain may just be going completely nuts, my point is you dont know, and it doesn’t follow common sense, so please don’t spout it as fact. if you said something like “hypothetically, the brain begins to go straight into REM sleep” that would be more appropriate. also, i admit its true that after a long bout of sleep deprivation, when a subject takes a nap they DO enter into REM almost immediately but this is BECAUSE they are sleep deprived, and the brain is trying to recuperate, not a healthy thing to do 6 times a day! also of interest, its been shown that a great many people who suffer from depression have longer REM sleep than average, so it seems you may be asking for it by trying this out. i would say to anyone thinking of trying it, try it as a short experiment, but not as a lifestyle change. and dont buy into myths, a lot of times on these blogs you will see a lot of myths being spouted as fact like da vinci followed this sleep schedule, or any number of famous creative geniuses, but there is zero evidence for any of them, with the two exceptions of winston churchill and edison, but neither slept according to the uberman schedule. churchill slept twice a day, almost up to 10 hours if i remember, and edison had a core sleep of approx. 4 hours with lots of catnaps. you need that core sleep!
