Default Re: Uberman\'s Sleep Schedule

havn't read through the whole thread yet, so forgive me if this has been answered...

Even if I'm tired, it usually takes me at least 30 minutes to fall asleep. Sometimes well over an hour. I guess if I'm dead tired then I can fall asleep within a few minutes, but thats pretty rare. So does the 20 minutes start from as soon as I lay down? If so that'd really suck and not work at all for me.

[/ QUOTE ]Well you can modify it to your liking with great flexibility. I imagine the 20-25 minute "Uberman" version of polyphasic sleep would work fine for you though. Your body adjusts and it wants to nap at your scheduled onset. Much stronger than the urge to sleep on a normal schedule because when you're on a normal monophasic pattern you've had many hours to recharge, and thus, you sort of have "reserves" which you don't exactly have on polyphasic.

Sleeping mono I struggle to fall to sleep, during a poly binge I would fall asleep within minute every time
