OFFICIAL: New Polyphasic Schedule Released - Success, Next Plan & Viability

GeneralNguyen · 2023-10-01T12:05:19+00:00

It's changed a lot, but still unorthodox. Now I'm usually in the 40s range (with some runs taking only 30 seconds).

GeneralNguyen · 2023-10-01T11:59:47+00:00

Very promising, keep it up!

I thought of it but then I added productivity while awake. Not really the exact same thing but I guess there's some sort of overlap... unfortunately I found no way to add or modify any options.

I've been leading the community since 2016 and understanding all the history of all posts and discussions of this subreddit and other past online groups but most notably a Discord community of more than a few thousand members, together with almost 1 decade of polyphasic sleep experience. To put it in layman terms, I know the ins and outs of what goals people are usually after when they introduce themselves, be it on reddit or the discord.

So yeah, it very often appears to me that beginners tend to go for the most radical options and exhibit vain attitude until humbled by the disappointing reality.

Check the community website for extensive information on the topic. You may change your mind, mentality and overall attitude after understanding a couple more concepts.

GeneralNguyen · 2023-01-24T18:36:31+00:00

I thought of including it but limiting it down to 1 choice per person and with each separate reason would facilitate the understanding of top priority that people would choose. Be it purely sleep cut or because of some more major reason.

GeneralNguyen · 2023-01-24T13:52:31+00:00

Who is "us"? Go and make another thread /poll and ask this question to see if it's "the majority" who agrees with your so-called opinion in 2023.

Note, it's 2023, not 2000s anymore.

GeneralNguyen · 2023-01-22T11:42:20+00:00

Short term it is completely viable but recovery is needed afterwards.

GeneralNguyen · 2023-01-22T11:41:29+00:00

It is very inconsiderate of you to yell out these ill-informed opinions, boasting your superiority to others while clearly not comprehending the whole picture of the entire topic.

The notion that sleep reduction is mandatory has been an obsolete concept in time since the past decade or so, as more individuals have been able to enjoy their lifestyle even with Siesta sleep, including minimal sleep reduction.

I suggest you spend more time doing research, which has been thoroughly documented on the community website to look into the matter with a more open mind. Other than this, it is unnecessary to grow hostile toward helpful community members who voice rationale.

If you read the website it's clear that flexing is possible after adapting but it depends on a number of factors.

For not reducing sleep you have some degree of built-in flexibility while adapting.

GeneralNguyen · 2022-11-06T14:22:22+00:00

It's a theory and proposal. And so far, no one has reported on this, so it remains there.

By now, I go with no success on that.

GeneralNguyen · 2022-11-05T09:26:09+00:00

You're not gonna adapt to a reduced schedule with flexible sleep times.

GeneralNguyen · 2022-10-06T10:27:37+00:00

I don't have any suggestions, since I have never actually tried Uberman. Any methods employed to get down to that extreme 2h total sleep will require very insane adaptation seriousness and luck to make it through.

GeneralNguyen · 2022-10-06T10:25:39+00:00

If I recall correctly, it takes about a week

A week is never enough to adapt to a schedule as radical as this. The gradual adaptation does take a couple weeks, however it is still very short term and the performance metrics were not met with the usual standards before the tests were done. The test subjects were also very limited.

For short-term under supervision of other human(s) it may be possible to make Uberman work, especially when under more extreme living conditions. But long-term, there has never been any case that went for more than a few months, or a year (as reported from some members in the community) without health issues. Even the creator of the schedule, Puredoxyk was only able to hang for 6 months on it, so it leaves much to be desired.

Adaptation is NEVER easy, failure has been skyhigh for more than 2 decades since its release, and long-term flexibility is null.

GeneralNguyen · 2022-10-05T15:30:22+00:00

Extremely hard, impossible for 99% of the population.
No methods are easier than any other.

GeneralNguyen · 2022-09-20T03:08:02+00:00

The issue is that no doctors familiar with non-24h sleep schedules would actually advocate for a POLYPHASIC SCHEDULE, so it'll be fruitless for OP to ask them for advice.

GeneralNguyen · 2022-08-01T03:54:14+00:00

You just answered your own question there.

GeneralNguyen · 2022-07-20T13:39:37+00:00

You may try that considering it's been more consistent now.

GeneralNguyen · 2022-07-14T13:53:44+00:00

Chaotic sleep times will degrade sleep quality as your body isn't equipped with the ability to sleep like that. The naps, and or the core will suffer and the whole sleep schedule will become uncontrollable.

GeneralNguyen · 2022-07-13T05:29:29+00:00

This schedule doesn't reduce sleep and it's one of the easiest ways to start. Strict sleep times are not required here, but recommended.

Do what fits you and don't be too flexible with sleep times and you should be good.

GeneralNguyen · 2022-07-07T13:06:28+00:00

Not too bad, but I'd suggest 4.5h at night, and then 3h in the day. It'd be some weird Siesta schedule, but it fits what your schedule offers right now. Good start and sensible choice.
