A swedish student, Thomas Jönsson, performed a similar "polyphasic sleep" experiment 2 years ago. He slept 2.5 hours per day; 25 minutes every 4th hour. His aim was to improve his potential and performance on a wide front, and he increased results in several contexts (learning, and physical exercise being the most notable ones). He kept his experiment going for about 6 months. He was 23 years old at the time.
- csallen 17y agoInteresting he was able to improve physically. I've always been tempted to try an extreme sleep schedule, but one thing has kept me from doing so -- I go to the gym regularly, and evidence has shown that sleep is an essential part of muscle growth.
- blakepalmer 17y agoI've wondered about this as well. I've been exercising, and I'm curious as to how sleep will effect that. I'd be intrigued to see research on the topic.
