Wheezy Waiter has a video on trying biphasic sleep, and his conclusion was: If you wake up at 3, get up and do something. When you get tired, go back to sleep. Second sleep is the best sleep.
I tried that for a while and want to try it again, because it worked great for the week I tried it before falling out of the habit.

- sokoloff 5y agoI do something similar: often waking up at 3:30-4:30 AM. I just get up and start doing something that appeals to me without drinking coffee. About 2/3 of the time, I get a good 90 minutes of work or reading in and fall back to sleep for a few hours. 1/3 of the time, I just roll into my day and get tired slightly earlier that day. On the days where I do sleep twice, 60% of the time I feel like Superman after the second sleep. (30% feels normal and 10% are brutal, usually where I had to wake to an alarm instead of naturally).
