Welcome.

This is yet another polyphasic-sleep blog. Why? Because there’s still too little information out there, and too small a signal:noise ratio.

Starting today, I will be adopting a modified Uberman pattern – 20-minute naps every six hours, for a total of eighty minutes of sleep per 24 hours.

Aiming to keep this as single-purpose and bullshit-free as I can, but hoping to update frequently and give a full account of my attempt.

Before I start, a bit about my current patterns/habits:

My sleep is very very irregular at the moment. I generally sleep about 18 hours a week, but spread out pretty much randomly, so a pattern is hard to detect. I won’t be sleeping that much less than I was, but no more quadruple-allnighters.

I chose (or rather adapted) this pattern because it’s the only one I can think of that will fit in with my school’s schedule. Planned naptimes at the moment are 0530, 1130, 1730 and 2330. Even so, this will involve sleeping in some weird places, which in itself will take a lot of getting used to.

So, here goes. :cheers:
