The Uberman Sleep Schedule - most awesome idea ever?

Most people are elusive beasts. :O

Anyway, the unawesome guy wants to know whether anyone actually tried this here.

Nope. Not here. Only a few people tried this and I think none of them mods warcraft, so I don't think any member of this forum has tried it....hmm, apparently Shados did.

I don't believe this.
I know enough about the sleepingcyclus to know that the most intense sleep comes after an hour or something which lasts for like 30 minutes. After that comes a 5 minute REM period. Then it starts over. Every cyclus lasts for +-90 minutes (from person to person). And most people need 8 hours of sleep.
(if I remember correctly)

The body supposedly gets acquainted to attaining REM sleep within a short amount of time when using this schedule. If I remember correctly by what Shados said on chat.

As for the placebo effect, I don't see how that would be effective for dealing with pain. Placebo effect takes place when you don't consciously know that the stimulus is not working. IE: You believe it to be working. Essentially, if you know that a placebo is a placebo, it's useless.

I think the body is adaptable enough to do that, yeah.

Then it must be something else, 'cause I think I'd know whether the pain is there or not, and faceplanting a wall rightly should hurt. <.<

I'm in, I'll do it

well not exactly, but i have changed to a new work out diet that I thought was good, and it requires me to eat EVERY 2 hours, that means through the night. wish me luck.

Looks like a fun thing to do.

Good luck . Remember, no matter how horribly tired you'll feel after a few days, just try to keep it up, it'll be worth it in the end .

I honestly still don't see how it will be worth it.

 

[Mulgrim]

oh thank fucking god, i mis read! it's every 2 hours while you're awake but would it be better if i did it every 2 hours? hmmm

No, all that would do is deprave you of your sleep.

I think polyphasic sleep is a great idea. The problem is, its long-term effects haven't been documented, unless you count a year's worth of blogging, and you'd have to be a fucking hermit (see: aforementioned bloggers) to have a schedule flexible enough to do polyphasic sleep.
