I had my first day today at an attempt of a Polyphasic Sleep Cycle. Unfortunately it is going to be very short lived. 
However, not for the reasons I originally thought.
Everything I had read spoke about the crash and burn, the crankiness, the inability to begin sleeping when you first try, the difficulty of waking up, the being worn out and tired.
That was not the issue for me for the most part.
Okay, I am taking the dive, effective immediately. I have been reading tons of information about sleep cycles lately and I decided to test out the Polyphasic Sleep cycle. For those of you that don’t know what Polyphasic Sleep is, in a nutshell it means sleeping in short periods throughout a 24 hour period, rather than sleeping all night long (or in one long time period).
Based on the research I have done, I am going to test out the Uberman sleep schedule, maybe slightly modified. If you want to read more about Polyphasic Sleep, check out Lifehack.org or Steve Pavlina’s diary of adjusting to and living with the Polyphasic Sleep cycle.
