Polyphasic sleep is an interesting concept, and I'd love to try it someday. I suffer from it's biggest weakness, though: schedule inflexibility. I'd definitely like to hear how it goes for you, though!

Take a look at Steve Pavlina's polyphasic sleep journal - it's what first got me into the idea and provides lots of great info about what to expect.

Polyphasic sleep is in a nutshell, breaking up your sleep schedule so
you sleep for shorter periods more often (as opposed to one huge
stretch per day).
The end goal is that you sleep LESS overall time than you would in one shot.

I'm definitely interested in trying a Month-long sleep experiment on
myself sometime during the spring semester (no way that'd work w/
marching band in the fall semester).

Is there any other interest in the group for doing something on this?
We could definitely have a talk/session on polyphasic sleep and what
resources there are currently out there as well as what people have
already found.
