@potatoboi88 everyman 5.2 (4.5hour core + two 20 minute naps) or everyman 4 (3hour core, 3 naps which is the one I did) - the more naps you take in the day the faster youll be able to adapt to taking those 20s (imo) which is the most efficient of course. But be warned, if you have nothing to do - you will definitely start thinking about sleep haha.

hmmm 18 seems maybe border line young, but I'm no expert so try it out hah. I did the everyman last year and it was manageable. If you are aiming for 6 hours of sleep that's definitely not a problem. (probably not growth stunting either) There's not much I could recommend if you are planning the biphasic sleep schedule since theres not much you can play around with. If you are struggling with time I would say go with

@adamal93 I don't know if high school was the correct translation to the school-system in Sweden

@potatoboi88 I'm 18 and I am now having a 6 hour core sleep and 20 minute powernap. I'm though interested in sleeping 1:30-6:00 a.m core sleep and 9:00-10:30 p.m nap which I will do during school as well to increase efficiency. What cycle should do you think I should go with? I appreciate your help very much!

@adamal93 Just as a precaution - If you are still in high school or still physically growing it may not be wise to try polyphasic sleep because it might hinder growth. 15 days is also not enough time to adapt, but you can still try it out for fun. : ) In my attempts, I handled it the best during mid 2nd and third week. and almost always lost my ability to do so completely after the 4th week haha.

@BeYourPotential I was also going to comment on the fact that you do look tired. Your eyes don't look very alert, same in video 8. It's interesting though because you appear to still have good mental clarity as llistening to just the audio one cannot tell if you are tired or not.

Does time bend/expand when you are observing yourself dreaming or are you able to tell that you've only dreamed for 20-30 minutes?

@BeYourPotential Well i was playing devil's advocate because i really hope it works in the long run for you!:)...i would absolutely love to work and sleep this way...im an artist and never have enough hours in the day..this seems like it would be an ultimate answer. Thank you again for all the information...have you decided to continue after your 30 days?
Are you able to wake up now without an alarm?

Looking forward to your next update!!! Will you continue to sleep this way in the future? Thanks so much for recording how you feel its been so interesting, I do think you look a bit tired, i wonder if a persons body can adjust to sleeping this way and still being alert as a form of protection in times of need but that maybe the exhaustion shows in other ways?...what do you think?

@smoobee1 I make these videos first thing in the morning and am generally a little tired at this time. The same as anyone when they first get out of bed. As soon as I take a shower then i am as bright as a button. Humans are very adaptable and can adjust to almost anything. I haven't experienced any adverse health conditions or extra tiredness from this

Cool! But I think that it could be dangerous to not get any full deep rest in

@ocergnairb You do get deep rest. You train your brain to go straight into REM during the 20 minute naps.
