Investigating Polyphasic Sleep

March 3, 2006  ·  Category: Health, Personal

Marshall has turned me on to polyphasic sleep. Has anybody out there tried it?

I have had a love-hate relationship (mostly hate) with sleep since I was young, and I already have to nap during the day to avoid getting headaches in the evening. So I’m wondering whether polyphasic might work well for me.

I’m also thinking of doing another 7-day water fast (my sixth?) in April. That tends to be a time when I require less sleep, so I’m thinking it could be a good time to experiment with polyphasic sleep.

UPDATE: Check out the 30-day update from the guy whose introduction I linked to above. He even mentions a 5-day juice fast... (Yikes. The only time I’ve ever had a truly terrible experience with fasting was when I tried a juice fast. My blood sugar would never stabilize, and I got constant headaches. Had to bail after just one day of abject misery.)
