Has anyone ever tried one of these sleep patterns? The point is to try to maximize the amount of time awake you have.
Mono is your normal sleep pattern.

I really, really, really think I would operate better with the nap in the middle of the day. I am worried however that switching to something with even one nap in the middle would fuck up my sleep schedule for a job even more than normal sleep at odd hours.
i've heard of that uberman sleep phase, apparently it's hellish trying to get into that sleeping style
can you link us to the wiki page that talks about this?

noice 
I think Da Vinci or one of those Renaissance guys tried it and failed miserably.
I did the biphasic for about a year. The mid-day nap was quite refreshing.
I love having a nap in the middle of the day, but I always regret it afterwards because it makes you feel like a total wreck. Let alone the time wasted.
Naps actually don't hurt my sleep cycle. If I'm a passenger on a road trip, I'm going to use the time to sleep.Flaming_Maniac wrote:

I have started to have a "power nap" at the weekends if I dont have much to do. Will usually sit watching a DVD then drift off for 20-30mins.Metal-Eater-GR wrote:

Either I wake up after feeling much better, or like you said I will feel like a total wreck!
nap + me = migraine
gtfo naps

Longer sleep at the weekends = migraine for me also. It usually lasts the whole day as well which totally fucks me if I wanted to do something.krazed wrote:

i limit myself to a maximum of 7 hours ... anything past that and i wake up with a migraine, the longer past the worse it is

I can't understand why people have naps in the middle of the day. I've tried it a couple of times and I just end up lying their awake for half an hour and then get bored.
And people get migraines if they sleep too much? That seems odd

its odd and annoying, trust me
I get quite a headache if i sleep too long, i can't explain it but for a while ive tried to get sleep only in multiples of 90 minutes, so 6 hours, 7.5 hours or 9.liquidat0r wrote:

It appears to be working.
With such small images you probably don't need to [gal], bro, especially since it doesn't work.
Also fuck Uberman and Dymaxion, they look hardcore. I'm monophasic through and through, can't stand naps. Usually takes off 2-3 hours and leaves me feeling absolutely terrible.

I usually don't plan for a nap, it just happens. Especially while watching F1 on a Sunday.liquidat0r wrote:

And for getting a migraine if sleeping too much? Who knows. I don't know why it happens. Maybe it is a higher power spiting me.
well i've gone to sleep for 3 hours or so, woken up and worked on an essay for an hour, then gone back to sleep for another 3 hours. that doesn't really fit any one of those patterns though...
"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
I can only handle monophastic, but the swap awake and asleep around.
jack daniels sleep ftw
I go by the randomphasic

I sleep when I'm tired, stay awake when I'm not. Last night I was awake most of the night. The night before I got 8 hours sleep. Night before that, again, up most of the night and shit.

Fuckoff AU lack of sleep had nothing to do with the hand.
