Polyphasic Sleep Blog 07-25

My Polyphasic sleep blog:

It cuts off at the very end but I didnt say much but "Send me any ideas or questions". I want to reiterate that when I talk about what I did Thursday, I did all of that, came home, chilled on the computer, and went to work not hours later, with no ill effect at all. Not even one ounce of sleepiness.

There are times when you are slightly sleepy but it is no more than being a normal 8hourer and possibly less. If I spend too long in my room I want to go nap with my dog, but this is not new, this is something that's happened to me my whole life regardless of sleep schedule.

The fact is, I was not tired at work, after doing all of that, and having had literally about 2 - 2.5 hours of sleep every 24 hours for the past three weeks. It is wonderful to feel so good and be this way.

Sometimes at 9pm I look at the clock and think of how I used to go to bed at this time, and I can barely imagine that I will be up for the rest of the night, and morning, and then go to work, and then be up the next night, and morning, and so on, its almost inconceivable, but here I am doing it. As of yet, no ill effects. No hallucinations (Unless you count those four hairy things I see bounding around my house, but some people call those pets), no eye-lag, no slowness of mind, no lack of creativity.

That is all.

All this is from her book 'Ubersleep' which is just excellent. I have a lot of respect for her, as I imagine any polyphasic sleeper would.

And, of course, I have the same respect for you! Thanks so much for posting these videos; I'll check out the rest now.

Congrats on getting Polyphasic!

I have found almost everything she said besides her fabulous tips are wrong. She claims someone can be uberman in 2 weeks. She claimed to be an uberman and then turned everyman, this means she wasnt content as an uberman, if you dont feel good as an uberman, you arent doing it right, and it's not her place to tell people what is an is not when it came from her ONE experience, without research into others, as she pretty much invented the popularity of it.

In essence, I have yet to find ONE person who adapted to Uberman in two weeks. There are EXCEPTIONS to every rule, so Im sure they are out there, but almost EVERYONE claims to take approx. one month before feeling normal on the schedule. She also claims all of these things like healing sleep disorders, etc, if you look in my past posts I talk about one in particular that I have not found to be the case. I am not saying my experience is definitive, but she possibly should update her book.

I also had not read the book until 3 weeks into my adaptation, and after week 4 I was done, so it wasnt incredibly helpful, but some of her tips are awesome, some seem common sense but I find a lot of people overlook even the most basic of tips, like standing, singing, music, etc. She also talks about having a reason and I couldnt agree more!!! This is the main reason people fall off the bandwagon.

Hey, come back! you fell off the face of the earth? are you still polyphasic?

Hi Aeia, I was wondering if you recommend any particular type of yoga ball. I'm considering buying one to help keep me up at night.

@aeia Aeia, I think she felt fine on Uberman, it's that she led a busy life with projects that interrupted naps (it may have been worked related or something) so she had to switch to Everyman. She's much older than us I think, which is probably an artifact of being a polyphasic sleeper for over a decade, and has probably settled for some type of regular employment schedule. -Your vlogs are inspirational by the way, and I love KPop too.

Thank's for the update... im currently on my 9th day of uberman, and i'm feeling great... i was wondering how exactly you know when you've completely adapted? do you feel even better?
