There's lots of research about bi-phasic sleep. It may not be so bad to get 6 hours at night and another 90 minutes during the day. That's 5 REM cycles.

- antupis 3y agoPersonally I have noticed that for me best is something like 6.5-7h of sleep and and 15-30 minute nap on the day. Of course I usually go with just 7-8h of sleep at night because getting nap has stigma and you just cannot do it every day.
- scns 3y ago> getting nap has stigma Hopefully this will be gone someday. To a future where taking a nap is seen as increasing well being (and productivity). Hm, a mandated nap could help.
- vidyesh 3y agoInteresting you put it that way, the 5 REM cycles throughout the day. From what I read, even for bi-phasic or multi-phasic sleep to work one needs to have a routine of REM cycles that make up at least 6 REM cycles. So if you do 3 REM cycles at night and 2 and 1 later in the day, it should be same rather than doing 6 in one night and then 2-2-2 the other day.
- noman-land 3y agoI find this kind of surprising. I feel like I've almost never gotten 6 REM cycles ever. The recommended 8 hours is only enough time for 5 REM cycles, no? You need 9 hours for 6 REM cycles since they're ~90 minutes each.
