I'm coming up on three years now, for the one with the most experience, check out the pioneer, http://puredoxyk.com I found her articles on everything2 years ago and was intrigued. I recently started a blog about my polyphasic lifestyle, I may not be the best example as I don't follow a strict schedule, but I've stuck at it and it's worked well. My latest post was talking about if it really works, if you're interested, you can read it here: http://blog.aximilation.com/blog.php?p=68&more=1&c=1... For those not wanting to read it, my consensus is that yes it works, but not for everyone with every lifestyle.

I've read parts of her blog, but I recall it seeming like it required a lot of regular effort to maintain that schedule; almost as though she was still fighting polyphasic sleep every day.

Do you feel that it requires regular effort on your part to maintain that schedule?

Do you feel any differences mentally?

My experience was that is wasn't a physical struggle to stay on the schedule - it was a social one. The world does not do polyphasic and you have to defend your time. I eventually crashed out when I was supposed to come home ad sleep after work but my wife took me to dinner instead. Being up for 7 hours straight wiped me out for a day and it was too socially challenging to keep it up.
