How To Adopt The Uberman's Sleep Schedule

Polyphasic Sleep

Polyphasic Sleep (also known as Uberman's Sleep Schedule) is an alternate sleep pattern. Instead of sleeping through the night in a big chunk of hours, polyphasic sleep spreads out the long night sleep into short naps of 20-40 minutes throughout the day. It is intended to increase REM sleep and reduce sleep time.

Steps

1. Schedule sleep interval. Initially, take five naps per day. For instance, 3am, 7am, 11am, 7pm, and 11pm. There are four naps setup (8am, 4pm, 12am, 4am) and six naps setup (2am, 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, and 10pm)

2. Set initial sleep time. Take 40 minutes nap initially. People have reported success on nap length between 20-40 minutes

3. Do not oversleep. It will ruin your sleep schedule and will fatigue you.

4. Tiredness is normal at the beginning. Your body and brain will struggle to adapt to this sleep pattern. After 7-10 days, your body clock will be adjusted for it.

5. Make Adjustments. Fine tune your sleep schedule and length of nap. Adjust small bit at a time and record results.

Positive Effects of Polyphasic Sleep

1. More energy

2. Change in appetite

3. Extended awake time

4. Reduced drowsiness

5. Able to remember your dreams

6. Able to wake up automatically

7. Endurance in heavy works

Negative Effects of Polyphasic Sleep

1. Slow growth development due to lack of monophasic sleep(bone and height development continue until 20 years of age.)

2. Requires a nap every 4-5 hours

3. Large appetite

4. Malfunctioned body clock (remembering of days and time normally)

5. Sensitiveness in caffeine and high sugar products.

Okay, I know about this. Don't do it!

by Darkjedi 2008-09-24, 14:53

It's funny, because I instead have a small appetite.

I haven't even eaten breakfast today, and I feel fine.

Oh my God (whoever that is)! How can you survive??

by Earthdeath 2008-09-24, 15:30

What?

I survive pretty OK.

I take breaks from the schedule though.

by Shemuel 2008-09-24, 16:21

So why are you actually doing it?

by Darkjedi 2008-09-24, 16:28

Because it increases my productivity, and I have nothing else better to do than experiment on myself.

Note: I've done this for 2 months in a row in the past. It does get exhausting sometimes.

lol. I prefer the 'sleep deprivation' program more. sleep 5 hours a night systematically. much easier and more endurable.

by Darkjedi 2008-09-25, 18:54

Actually, i'm turning to semi-nocturnal sleep pattern.

I'm probably going to start today.

I only stayed up until 1:30 A.M this morning, after that, I went to bed. But, I slept on and off durning the day from 8:00 A.M to 1:30 P.M

I'm all set to stay up tonight/tomorrow morning!!!!!!

by Earthdeath 2008-09-25, 19:02

so what, sleep by day, hack by night?

by Darkjedi 2008-09-25, 20:05

Well, that's how it used to be. LOL!

by Earthdeath 2008-09-25, 20:09

so what do you do now?sleep and then preach?

by Darkjedi 2008-09-25, 20:13

I wish.

My spiritual life has declined a lot.

I really hate myself for it.

I feel as if I'm going back to my old ways again. I'm going to have to take a few days off for meditation and prayer soon. This life I'm trying to live isn't going to work out in the long run.

by Earthdeath 2008-09-25, 20:15

obviously.as for me, i never bothered with religion.there is no right one for me.

by Darkjedi 2008-09-25, 20:16

I have so many deep regrets when it comes to my relationship with God.

I'm not the Christian I should be.

by Earthdeath 2008-09-25, 20:19

neither is george bush
but i dont think i would be a good christian

by Darkjedi 2008-09-25, 20:23

See, JWs have the highest Christian moral standards.

I feel like half of the things I do aren't up to those standards.

by Earthdeath 2008-09-25, 20:24

same.thats why im not christian.espicially because sunday is when i do all the reports and such.

by Darkjedi 2008-09-25, 20:26

Oh, we aren't bound to the sabbath ritual anymore.

Should I explain?

Note: This could turn into a highly religious topic.

by Earthdeath 2008-09-25, 20:27

you could make a religon topic.or i could do it.

by me naam is m 2008-09-26, 11:01

NO! NO RELIGIOUS DISCUSSIONS HERE! *whimpers* Sad

by Shemuel 2008-09-26, 14:52
