For those who don't know, I'm an adapted polyphaser. I have been on the
Everyman (3 hour core, 3x20 min naps) schedule for almost 3 months now.
I intend to hold this schedule through at least the fall semester.

You can find me on on freenode/#ncsulug (jvogel) if you have any
questions. There is also an active polyphasic sleep IRC channel
#polyphasers which you can find on freenode.

Although I haven't been to a lug meeting, I'd be happy to go to one to
answer any questions about my experience/knowledge on polyphasic sleep.

@ Brian: The everyman schedule is fairly flexible, if you'd like to talk
about it more on IRC just let me know.
