Like DTB said, I have nothing to do at night. I live in a rather small house. I was shooting my blowgun one night in my bedroom and they could hear when the dart hit. Heck, they can even hear the radio when it's fairly low!

Besides, I like working for a good 5-6 hours before a break, builds endurance.

Sleeping is fun  For some reason I find naps in the day depressing though. It's like a couple hours just died and I feel strange  . I have a friend who says he has a disease where he eats, but can't gain any weight, so he has all this extra energy, and he only gets 3 hrs sleep but isn't tired. I don't know if he's pulling my chain or what, but that doesn't seem so bad.

I want to know, how would this work with a guy like me, who operates on very little sleep as it is, but has to work 8-9 hours/day? I mean, its not like I can just nod off for 20 minutes every few hours. Well, I could, I suppose. I would quickly find myself sans travaille which might, ironically, allow me more time for sleeping, but I still would also find myself without a paycheque, which admittedly, sucks.

Oh sure, I can do just fine on about 5 hours of sleep per night, but in terms of this polyphasic thing, I would be willing, as a scientist, to give it a fair trial, but fitting in the periods of rest every few hours might present a problem with my work schedule. Does the author proffer any sort of system to deal with such interruptions or is he assuming you have a free 24 hours per diem?

lmao I had a not rude word in my previous post b*ast*rd which was changed to: 'not very nice person'.
Love it.

Personally I use that word a whole helluva lot and don't consider it swearing. So the thing now is to see what other cuss words get changed, and I do mean cursing not swearing :-)

It's my first night actually getting oriented in this and it's okay so far. The only problem is getting to sleep but it helps to have a sleep mask or something to block the light out like a hat or a piece of cloth. You also might want to get rid of any sources of noise and by a countdown timer, set the timer to 22-24 minutes so you have time to settle in and relax. Hope that helps someone out and happy napping!

Does anyone know where to buy sleep masks besides online?
