The only thing that is holding me back is...
the 4 hour blocks of "life" you have... some things take more than 4 hrs.
and also trying to find somewhere to sleep in emergencies

well once you get used to it, you can push back naps to 6 hours as long as u have 6 a day (so have another nap 2 hours later). i agree it sounds unhealthy/dangerous. It goes against everything we have learned about sleep, so at first it does sound shocking. This is why I am going to be monitoring my health closely and eating a very very controlled diet (almost vegan with occassional fish / eggs and some dairy).

in terms of work allowing it, my two "bosses" (more like collegues) are gonna try it with me and seem very psyched so having a good support network is there. and it will be a trail for a month or two, and then reasses / see if it works. when i start in a few weeks will definatly log the journey daily. will be interesting

log in a blog. Post a link once you start!

edit: I just checked your profile, but this undertaking probably deserves its own medium.
