TOTALLY HUMAN

I had a little experience of polyphasic sleep last night. "Poly what?" Yup polyphasic. A relatively large word that makes me feel very intelligent.

Polyphasic sleep is a pattern in which the user sleeps at short intervals each day from approximately 45 minutes -2 hours. Although some people sleep for only 20 minutes for each session. Polyphasic sleeping is really used by people who want to get more waking hours out of their day. So they sleep for short amounts of time so that it would add up to 2- 5 hours of sleep a day. So they may have aproximately 6 short naps to make up for the whole day.

Now the only reason why you should use polyphasic sleeping is if you "actually" intend to use the extra hours of the day. Or else it woul not really make sense. People who use the polyphasic method claim to remember their dreams more, have more lucid dreams and are more alert.

Most doctors refer to polyphasic sleeping as a sleep disorder which is related to insomnia in which the patient finds it hard to sleep or wakes up during the night.

Now I'm a monophasic sleeper. Yeah another big word "yay me" Monophasic sleepers are those who tend to sleep for the normal eight hours straight. In other words the majority of the world sleeps monophasically which is the normal sleep pattern for human beings.
But last night I had a little case of polyphasic sleep. Actually I'm not sure if you could call it that or insomnia.
But I actually woke up this morning feeling energised. The only bad feeling I really had was a slight uneasy feeling of my eyes. Probably because I'm not used to it. My conclusion to my energetic result and note that I said MY CONCLUSION is that my body some how adapted to this polyphasic sleep in one night which is weird and my brain actually made the sleep cycles shorter. In other words I dreamt faster so I had more cycles of sleep than usual which I say again WEIRD. But if we could some how practice a form of polyphasic sleep in which we train our bodies to go through some of the more important sleep cycles more regularly imagine what it would be like. I'm not sure how the rest of my day would be like but I actually like it so far.
If anyone has any experience with polyphasic sleep or knows how to get to the more important sleep cycles faster please leave a comment.
