Ups and Downs of Polyphasic Sleep
5 Comments Published by Jim July 8th, 2006 in health, music, polyphasic sleep, self-improvement, sleepIt has been a little while since I posted about my polyphasic sleep. I have become a believer in 15 minute naps. If I sleep any longer then that then I get sleepy, but if I am 15 minutes or less then I feel great. My core has been giving me trouble with me ending up sleeping 5 or 6 hours then. If I go to bed early then I found I get thrown off completely. With the 15 minute naps I really feel great though. I am much more alert in general then when I was on monophasic sleep.
I have become a huge fan of my iPod naps. They work great. I got a new Bond CD in the mail today that I may start using for my wake-up. Because I have had success with my 15 minute iPod naps, and trouble with my core sleep I am thinking about going total Uberman. I don’t like the frequency of naps (every 4 hours) then, but at least I don’t need to worry about sleeping in from my core. . .
We will see what tomorrow holds. . . .
I found this interesting ambient album designed to not only assist polyphasic sleepers but also apeal to fans of obscure electronic music.

I purchaed that CD. It looks cool!
Let me know what you think of it, I’m tempted to buy it but w/o a sample its hard to decide
Brad, I enjoyed the CD, but I didn’t use it for Polyphasic sleep since I’ve been out of the habit.
Hey man, hope the polyphasic thing is working out well for you. I’ll be blogging my own experiences with it at http://cmichener.blogspot.com when I start sleeping Uberman-style on December 20. Happy napping!
