http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphasic_sleepDoesn't that sound neat? It does to me, and I want to do it. I've sort started doing this myself accdentally, though its rather noobish form. I take about 4 2 hour naps throuought the day instead of sleeping in a big chunk, but I'm not quite to being hardcore and reducing the 2 hours to 30 minutes. Though I'm considering trying. Though I'm doing the most docile possible form of polyphasic sleep, I like it. I'm perfectly rested, though my brain is a little "wtf mate?" Its a bit weird though. I have a bit more itme to do stuff, some of that being related to me being awake when most people aren't, so less distractions. And it definitely gives you more of a sense of the continuity of time, as opposed to being broken into chunks. So as a result of this, I have just awoken from my late evening nap from about 11 to 1:30 (overslept a bit). So right now, its about 2:30 and I'm I'm totally awake. Mentally, it feels like its morning. So, I basically have no clue what to do with myself. I've got a paper I need to get some work done on this weekend, but that shouldn't be too bad. And since I spend lots of time being awake at night, this leads to lots of wandering around at night. Luckily this random Chinese restaraunt is open till' 2, but even thats too late now. And apparently, to my suprise, walking around in weird places late at night is suspicious. I've been patted down by the cops more than once. And though they can find nothing on me and have no reason to be bothering me, they're still kinda giving me the shifty eyes. I think thats the main turnoff of this sort of sleeping: waaay to much time. I'm bored, which is why I'm writing this. I suppose if I were a motivated person I could make good use of this time, but I wrote (or at least read 40 times) the book on slacking.

Eh, I can't sleep in the middle of the day. It is now 8 am, I've been awake for half an hour, went to sleep at 11, been going to bed late all week, and didn't have to get up for a long time. Onlyearly enough to bake a cake by 5:30, yet I can't sleep.
I can, however, easily go into a state of half-sleep, so that's what I do when the bus leaves at 3:30 in the morning for speech. 5 minutes of hypnotism is supposed to seem like you've slept for 10 hours. I wonder if that hypnotist is coming back to our school this year. . .
Who knew that wandering around in the middle of the night was suspicious? neutral

Sounds cool, but would be impossible for me, because of school.

kyuuketsuki4 . 5 minutes of hypnotism is supposed to seem like you've slept for 10 hours. I really doubt that. Its possible to make your sleep more efficient、to shorten te amount of time you sleep but make the sleep more rest-ifying, but only to a certain extent. 10 hours to 5 minutes, not really possible. There are a few sort of, preliminary stages of sleep which you go through before you enter the sort of sleep that is the good stuff, the REM stage I think if I remember right, and so its possible to make yourself skip the earlier stages and make all the time you sleep productive (if sleep can be considered productive xp ). Which is one of the things of poly[hasic sleep, you train your body to be able to fall asleep quickly and right away start into the good sort of sleeping, so that you can reduce by alot the time you need to sleep.

Well it's not really sleep and probably shouldn't be done for long periods of time, but my friend says it really does feel that way.

Actually, I heard about that on Seinfeld. Pretty much the greatest show ever, along with virtually the only one I ever care to watch.
It sounds like a damnably fantastic idea and I would love to try it, aside from the fact I have to go to school for around six hours and, therefore, it would conflict greatly.

Ah, it sounds like something I've done before. I took two naps that day, and I woke up at 2 AM, fully awake. It's the oddest feeling, since you feel like it should've been morning already. surprised
My brother did that once too. He woke up at 7 PM, thinking it was 7 AM. Kinda freaky.
