Enter the Uberman

This is the third post from our February Featured Blogger, polyphasic students Diego, Liam, Taus, and Amanda of Get Polyphased.  In order to keep their project on track, the kids decide to move from the Everyman Sleep Schedule to the Überman, a (rather grueling) schedule that cuts sleep down to 2 hours for every 24.   Will they make the final adaptation?

Move over Everyman; Überman is Here

This is an update to let you guys know that our group is changing things up a little. So far we have been going by a schedule called “The Everyman.” This means that we have been sleeping little a night, and making up for it with naps throughout the day. This has been working according to plan, but adaptation is a very slow process.

We only have until the end of this week to work on this project, and at this rate, we will not be at any final product by then. Because of this, we have decided to change our pattern to one called “The Uberman.” This is the one that most people know of. We will be taking 20 minute naps every 4 hours for the rest of the week. Hopefully by Friday we will be able to determine if the project is working, and how well it is working.

Guys,

You can’t do Uberman polyphasic sleep in just a week. You need two weeks of acclimatization before you are really in Polyphasic. (see any blog on that) Your first two weeks will be the most horrible time and you’d get no result to show for it at that point.
