Polyphasic Sleep

So I am going to try this new polyphasic sleep pattern now. It says that you have a core sleep session, which varies from 2 hours to 5 hours for different people, and then short naps of about 20 mins every 4 to 5 hours. The aim is to complete the 8 hours of sleep everyday initially and then reduce the sleep hours. You end up getting more hours awake and you work more effectively it seems. Well, one requirement is that you have a flexible schedule and something to occupy you with. And no long term side effects of this are recorded yet, so I think it could be a good thing. Now since I have this holiday week because of swine flu, I can work on polyphasic sleep. The first week is the hardest they say. So I am going to occupy myself with watching one movie and writing review (just one liners), doing two sessions of Wordpower Made Easy, and one box of GRE words every day. And of course I will keep a log of my polyphasic sleep here.
So starting today, I am going to sleep at 2 am, get up at 6am tomorrow.
You might want to give a try too.
