Does anyone have experience with this life style/health impacting choice?
Its touted to be beneficial though in a controversial way as would something else like intermittent fasting be.
Keep in mind there are anomalies where people are claimed to have not slept for years, such as this one old farmer who hadn't "slept" for decades.
Im well aware of multiple systemic rejuvenation cycles that go on when you rest, even that to properly attune to the rest and digest you must begin by laying toward the right, so that being said I will add that there are many things the body can adapt to on a minimalist basis while efficiently using less as more than it was before.
Obviously as with any differential conceivable, this concept is not for everyone and you can only know if you take the proper precautions and devote yourself to the schedule for a while until you see a sufficient incline of efficiency or a drastic decline that you no longer wish to push through.
There are notable people who were able to adjust into polyphasic sleep, such as Nikola Tesla, with intervals of little over two hours and then he would have short naps throughout the day.
The entire purpose here is productivity in your day, in the hopes that your body adjusts and does just as fine if not more than what it did had you slept in too late.
The research on sleep is not a conclusive one on the west, though it is known many are vulnerable to stress related risk of death in the attempt to sustain waking consciousness and especially with any kind of prolonged movement.
However, its also quite apparent that oversleeping imbalances the ever loving shit out of you, and despite my enjoyment of being a night owl, I do prefer to wake up with the sun at a reasonable gauge of rest.
The thing about polyphasic sleep is that you will obviously choose you're own intervals according to a predictable schedule versus how intensely it initially* impacts your health.
There may be some kind of dietary shift you choose subconsciously, in the corresponding accommodation of this shift in metabolic priority, but thats not necessitated.
There is a small percentage of people who are able to get a solid six hour sleep, but most people need eight to ten hours.
something about it stretching into the ten hour mark sounds like an indication of our stressful and imbalanced life patterns.
A final note here for diurnal and nocturnal lovers alike, the days and nights will begin to blend together depending on how your intervals of the (big sleep) and the minor naps are configured.
You'll essentially get a minute experience of what immortals go through as the days merge.
