I'm extremely productive on 4.5 hours, but using a biphasic sleep pattern. 3 hours at night, 1.5 hours in a daytime nap.

- pmoriarty 9y agoHow long have you been sleeping like that?
- Danihan 9y agoAbout 1.5 years, give or take. I pretty much require 9 hours on a monophasic schedule to feel as sharp.
- dapreja 9y agoOk Neo, how about sending us pictures of the matrix source when you get the chance.
- Ygg2 9y agoYeah, I worry, this only gets rid of tiredeness but not fulfill the whole 8-9 hours of sleep.
- Danihan 9y agoFrom my experience, I'm better rested now than I was before I went bi-phasic. I personally believe sleep is simply a cleaning cycle for the brain, waiting 16 hours between cleaning cycles may be deleterious.
- Ygg2 9y agoI wasn't speaking about better rested vs less rested. You can totally lose symptoms of tiredness, only to wind up with dementia at later point in life.
- rthomas6 9y agoIs this just speculation or is there evidence for this?

- Danihan 9y ago>Does the 90-minute cycle mean that so-called power naps are worthless? “They can take the edge off basic sleepiness. But you need 90 minutes to get to deep sleep, and one cycle isn’t enough to do all the work. You need four or five cycles to get all the benefit. Notice, my sleep pattern contains 3 full cycles a day. And less time between cycles. I'm not just subsisting on short naps. The second link simply confirms what I initially said, that sleep is a cleaning cycle for the brain.
