Polyphasic Sleeping Discussion

[The Supreme Intelligence]

For those of you who don't know what polyphasic sleeping is, well instead of forcing you to search it up, I will tell you what it is. Basically it is being able to change your natural sleeping patterns of several hours a day, to essentially 30 minute "naps"- yet still maintaining full alertness and cognitive function.

Question, present ideas, agree/disagree, discuss.

I don't think I quite understand...

This is what I think your saying, correct me if I am wrong. 6 Hours of straight sleep is equivalent to twelve 30 minute naps spread out throughout a day?

Lol, this was on a seinfield episode.

And anyways, what good would this be/ What are you going to do at 4 in the morning?

I certainly don't suffer from this, I'm tired about 18 hours a day.

Kramer in Seinfeld did that. It didnt work

It is something you "suffer" its something you "achieve"

Well this was posted in the INTELLIGENT CONVERSATIONS section for a reason- so please don't source back to Seinfeld- I've never seen it before.


As for honeo, not exactly. It means just one or two 45 minutes sessions, for the whole day. Minimizing your sleep time from 6 hours- to a mere 45 minutes. This can be done by forcing oneself to achieve the REM(rapid eye movement) state early, therefore still achieving full energy and concentration.
