Polyphasic Sleep/ The Uberman Sleep Schedule

There's only one person who's right when they say "you can't".

I told myself I couldn't do that...and I found the last straw that made me snap.
Easy is not in self discipline.

For about 2 weeks now I've been trying polyphasic sleep, specifically the Uberman Sleep Schedule. The key word is try. And steeling from Yoda: "DO OR DO NOT! There is no try.".

To summarize so far: 3 day awake/nap - 6h sleep - 2 day awake/nap - 4-8h sleep - 1 day awake/nap - sleep - 2 day awake/nap on and off for about 14-20 days now. The only benefit so far from this inconsistent schedule is the ability to nap quickly. I can hit REM sleep and have a complete cycle in as fast as 13 minutes.

The real challenge is combating the 25 years of monophasic sleep that I have under the belt. It has been 24h almost exactly since I sleep for more then 30min. The 5-9 time slot was the worst, so I inserted 2 extra naps to combat the fatigue. There are several lists about what to do and what not to do, and I'm inserting some of my own from experience. Computer use at night tends to be a no no, even during the day as I'm beginning to fade.

Exercise and physical activity are defiantly the most useful tools to battle this fatigue. More later, I need a walk and some water.
