Polyphasic sleep – also known as Uberman’s sleep Schedule, consists of six daily naps taken every four hours instead of one long sleep every night (monophasic sleep).

Now the schedule may vary, but the whole point is that getting several naps throughout the day is the same if not better than getting one 7-9 hours sleep. It is not impossible and if done correctly it will provide me with more time to study and spend time with my friends without feeling dizzy and fatigue.

Being constantly tired and sleepy might have something to do with me working with computers 40 hours a week. My eyes get exhausted, especially after wearing contacts for the entire day, I get a headache and I feel like I need to get some sleep. Right now it takes me at least 8 to 9 hours to fully recuperate every week night and I might sleep even longer on weekends. I know it’s way too long and might have something to do with my slow metabolism. I’m thinking I could slowly scale it down to 5-6 hours at night and maybe one or two naps during the day. Ideally this would give me at least a couple of extra hours to be active each day.  I’m not sure how it’s gonna work with my school and work schedule as well as plans to start working out, but it’s sure is something worth trying.

I’ll keep you posted.
