I have decided to quit my successful project with biphasic sleep. The reason is certainly not that it is too physically requiring — I feel a lot better, and I seem to be in a better condition over-all, even though I’ve only been doing it for two weeks. However, biphasic sleep is for me incompatible with a working social life.

If you can afford sacrificing a part of your social life, I really recommend biphasic sleep. On the other hand, if you usually spend your time out in the evening, don’t try it. It would create more problems than it would solve.

From what I’ve read of others experiences, the reactions from people around you seem to be quite severe, with people saying that you are crazy and will die. I got it quite easy, except on one part.

First off, my mother was surprisingly fine with it. She didn’t even mention that there could be negative side-effects for my health. The friends whom I have told about the project just thought that it would be cool and interesting.

The main problem was my girlfriend, who thought that I’d become sick and develop some kind of insomnia, being unable to go back to my prior sleeping patterns. I think that I’ve convinced her now, and I hope that she’s dead wrong.
