- rubicon33 11y agoI guess I don't understand how that's sustainable. I can do it for a couple of days, maybe a week. Beyond that, and my performance both physically and mentally takes a large hit. I guess it's possible that some people are blessed with super-human energy levels. It's more likely that they're on something.

The problem is placebo control, which of impossible, and required monitoring to detect microsleeps and oversleeping. You would need a control group, group with day, forced 8h sleep both biphasic and monophasic, and a group on this fancy multiphasic schedule. Expensive to run.
