Interested what the ramifications to polphasic sleep are now

[sireat]

All the anecdotal indications is that polyphasic sleep is simply acquiring significant deep sleep debt.

That is: polyphasic sleep is not sustainable over a multi year period.

Humans can still do it while sailing in an ocean, on space ships and similar extreme locations.

However a significant relapse then follows in more "normal" places.

I'd love to see if someone was able to be productive for 3+ years on polyphasic sleep.

Personally I relapsed after a few months - maybe I never truly transitioned.

Buckminister Fuller apparently was close. > Fuller reportedly kept this Dymaxion sleep habit for two years, before quitting the routine because it conflicted with his business associates' sleep habits. (From his wikipedia page)

Yikes. For me, this is an argument against polyphasic sleep. That guy was a total quack.
