Polyphasic Kirk

[vishalkumarg]

This video was really uninteresting. 15 days into a project... you're still in the beginning! Come on.

Any update on how this turned out?

hook up your alarms to smoke detectors XD

I've always wanted to get on a polyphasic schedule, but starting it is always the hardest part. From what I've seen from other people that try this stuff, once you're used to it, you're more awake and energetic, and you feel better and more conscious.

I'm interested in the Dymaxion version, where you sleep for 30 minutes every 6 hours, which gives you longer awake periods. (as opposed to uberman, which is 20 minutes every 4 hours.) Cause that seems more compatible with a work schedule.

great video kirk!

if you guys are interested in polyphasic sleeping, check out the google group :-)

Pretty cool, now how do I go from needing 9 hours sleep to 15 minutes...Hmmmm

[Heller86]

The average monophasic sleeper doesn't need 9 hours of sleep, only about 7-8.

The polyphasic sleeper doesn't get only 15 minutes of sleep, he gets between 2-4 hours of sleep.

That's per day of course.

Hey man if you ever read this I'd really like to know how you set up the shower thing. I've screwed up polyphasic sleeping so many times I can't count. Thanks.

Kahhhnnnn!!!!!

great vid :-)

[brianlo777]

pretty professional documentary

[donttouchmyduck]

This adds a little more information on this subject than I have previously found.

I read of steve pavlinas experince before i saw this.

I've been considering adopting polyphasic sleep, but am unsure of any long-term health risks.

Any advice?

[splitdog]

try the yahoo group on polyphasic sleep/uberman, helped me when i first got into it.there doesnt seem to be any research on the long term risks or benefits of polyphasic sleeping. most people dont realy continue after about a year at the most, seems to be a short term thing anyway.

What a good documentary. It's informative and compelling, with that bizarre Lofgren flair. This kid's goin' far...

[blahtsk]

It was too short to be called riveting or interesting, IMHO. We spoke to Kirk on day 15 and that was it? Big deal, how about comparing days 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, etc. Then you have something.

[InviNema]

oh you kidder.

[jwager]

FUN, CLEAN, and REAL.

Seriously, Kirk is quite an interesting, riveting subject. Excellent job on highlighting the complexities/nuances of Kirk and the subject matter. This is a very intricate documentary, InVinema.

It's so great that you had a short documentary done on this experience, it tells us so much more, it helps break  the picture the readers have in their minds, and have a much closer look at what you talk about in your blog.

It's so cool to know people like you Kirk.
