I wouldn't even try something like this, so good on you for giving it a shot and writing about it. However, having researched polyphasic sleep before, my reaction at coming to the end of your essay was surprise that you'd ended the experiment prematurely. It seemed like you hadn't given yourself time to fully adjust. I expected a Week 3 during which you were able to drop immediately into REM and wake up refreshed. I assume you just ran out of vacation, which is understandable. But it seems unfair to judge polyphasic sleep based on an incomplete run.
