Haiku #37: Biphasic Sleep
How can you sleep well
When you waste your life with sleep?
Change — Go Biphasic
Three days ago, I started a big project that I have been thinking about for some months now: biphasic sleep. I first read about polyphasic sleep — dividing sleep up in six segments a day — which seemed extremely controversial. However, there’s a thing called biphasic sleep, in which you divide your sleep into two segments a day. The biphasic sleeping schedule is designed to maximize (well, increase) your effective sleep.
If sleep was like Dungeons & Dragons, then polyphasic sleepers would be the munchkins who ruin the game, and biphasic sleepers would be the people like me, who just like not to suck.
So far I’m feeling great, and I am sleeping around 7 hours a day. My goal is 6 hours, and I am certain that I will reach it in a few weeks’ time. I blog about my venture in the land of effective sleep.

Ashish: 5 hours? I could never do that. My goal is 6 hours, and I applaude you for surviving on less.

I often have erratic sleep patterns because I’m a casual/on-call worker. I find that I cope better if I do split my sleep up, good idea, I might try it :-)

[...] I have been surprisingly tired the last week, and I don’t like that. I have always had problems sleeping, but now, I am going to bed early as hell, falling asleep hours later. Maybe I should follow my brother Tim, starting using biphasic sleep. [...]
