Well, last night, after finishing the essay for my law school applications, I decided to finally try the Uberman sleep schedule. The plan is to sleep anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes every four hours, which comes to 1.5 to 3 hours of sleep per day. :)
Of course, my first night was an utter failure. I decided to try to sleep 30 minutes at 2, 6, and 10 o' clock each day. So last night at 2am, I tried to nap on the couch, and didn't sleep at all. I then made the mistake of getting into bed, thinking that I'd be able to just sleep half an hour and get up again with an alarm... hehe. Yeah, right. I finally woke up around 9:30. Oh well, I'll just have to try again tonight. :) If this works, it will be worth all the effort... ;)
I will eagerly look forward to the result of your efforts. This could be a breakthough in dayplanning ;-)
Cool, man. :) I've always thought it would be great to be able to do this, but the physical and mental barriers are tough. I plan to give it a good shot though. ;)

you ever considered the psychosomatic impacts of this? i'm really interested in it...but i'm a little wary coz no one's quite sure what happens in the long term, to you mind, body, even life-expectancy...
you reckon you could shed a little light on this? coz it would be shitty if you know we all did this and gained like 5 years of our lives but died 20 years younger or whatever :o)
good luck with it hey....

haha... I actually thought about that, but the problem nowadays is that you just can't do enough each day to stay ahead...
