I know a number of people who tried polyphasic sleep to 'waste' less time on sleep. They were doing the version where you only sleep 20 minutes every couple of hours.
One of them told me the weird sleep schedule altered his mental faculties, but he didn't notice until he stopped doing it - one of the faculties affected was the faculty to tell his faculties were affected, apparently.
Out of the dozen or so people I know who tried, only 1 managed to sustain it for more than one month.

- greenshackle2 9y agoOh, negatively. Here's one typical story: He went to a restaurant while on poly sleep. There was a sign posted for a lunch special. He couldn't make sense of it and thought it was badly written. He went back after going back to a normal sleep schedule and realized the sign made perfect sense. He had managed to break his reading comprehension. Turns out he was borderline dysfunctional but couldn't really tell at the time.
