Hello everyone!
Welcome to the FOURTH poll of the sub! Today, after a long time staying in the sub, today I would love to survey your experience in polyphasic sleep, to further explore polyphasic sleep viability in the current era. That is, asking about which types and what specific schedules you have adapted to in the past and recently. This can be traced all the way back to when you were really young, like in high school (If you're much older now), your sleep habits (You could be practicing some kind of biphasic sleep, like napping in the day, albeit inconsistently and without knowing about polyphasic sleep some period in your life before). And so below are the polyphasic schedules that we have proposed and official up to date.
Also, please note, before you vote, please make sure you understand these following 5 signs of a successful adaptation:
1. Feel energized and productive when awake, no memory loss, elevation in mood and good appetite.
2. Wake up feeling refreshed whether the nap or the core. No sleep inertia.
3. Fall asleep fast in all sleeps, even if you don't prepare some time beforehand to sleep.
4. Wake naturally without the need for alarms. This requires long entrainment with a sleep cycle, often months for it to be consistent.
5. You might remember more dreams from your sleep, and more vivid dreams (the dreams can come from the end of your core sleep, or you can even dream right when you fall asleep shortly). Some people remember fewer dreams, due to consistently waking from light sleep as an adaptation to rigid sleep times.
Don't worry too much about the 4th one. If you have most of these, and most importantly, little/no sleep-ins after adaptation period (except if you get sick), and no oversleeps during the first month of adapting, you're good to go.
Also, please note that the numbers in the options are just **relative** as standard (you can have a 5h core instead of 4.5h for Everyman 2). There are a lot of variants to each schedule! For new schedules such as Bimaxion and Tri Core variants, refer to the sidebar for more info on how they look. (napchart.com) Multiple choice ALLOWED!.
Thanks everyone for participating!
