I briefly experimented with polyphasic sleep for a few months when I wasn't working a paid job and was living off of savings. Nap for twenty minutes, six times a day, after training yourself to drop nearly immediately into REM. When you're first trying to break into it the experience of sleep deprivation- or more specifically, of dream deprivation- feels mildly psychedelic, like a low dose of LSD or psilocybin, but this is overcome with persistence. Probably the easiest to get into is the "everyman" sleep schedule, which is one 3.5 hour sleep and three .3 hour sleeps within a 24 hour period, as compared to what I adjusted to (the "Uberman"). Unfortunately, these alternative sleep schedules which allow for more awake time are more demanding of naps, so if you have a regular, hourly position instead of a freelance job (or no job) then they are difficult or impossible to maintain. Once I got into the swing of it I had a ton of free time, which I mostly spent reading or painting. I had to abandon it when I became a wage-slave again though.

Sleep is very important for ones health and well being. Why would you want to deprive yourself of it?

It has been years, probably at least a decade since I last had restful and sound sleep. I really find it difficult to grasp the willingness to cut down on it. Hell if I could, I would be alright with sleeping like a log 12 hours straight a day.

This. Even every now and again when I let myself sleep in on a weekend, sometimes close to 12hrs, I still wake up feeling like a got no sleep at all. There's no escape from the insomnia.

Sleeping wastes a lot of time, sometimes it doesnt even satisfy me anyways, trying to cut down on it a bit now. I'll stay awake for like a day then sleep 3 hours, then stay awake untill night time and sleep for a decent chunk. Only been doign it recently in order to fix my sleep schedule really, but it feelsgoodman, something about being awake for a longer time i just pleasant to me, its so rare that i go to bed actually tired, but only because time tells me to.

I could only sleep for 4 hours today and wasted 3 hours in bed trying to sleep after.
Fuck this thread.

You want a trick to stay awake at night?

Just think, every time I start thinking about life, past mistakes, regrets, family, women and other stuff, I fail to sleep, and I just want to shoot myself.

But then I put on some Metal, and I ease my sufferings.
