Make DAMN SURE to wake up after 20 minutes, and don't skip any naps. Oversleeping on this schedule in the beginning (you won't oversleep after the beginning, even if you try) is devastating you'll be exhausted for at least a day. You can probably guess this tip, but here it is anyway-DO NOT, under ANY conceivable circumstances, OVERSLEEP. As a forewarning, yes, it sucks ass to get used to, but after about two weeks you'll never wanna give it up. This totals a mere two hours of sleep in a twenty-four hour period. When I did it, I took a nap at 8, 4, 12, then 4, 8, and 12 again. You'll be sleeping for twenty minutes at a time, every four hours, round the clock. For the record, because people always ask, yes, this is supposedly the way that Leonardo Da Vinci and Thomas Jefferson and a fluctuating list of other legends often slept. I tell you, I'd give damn near anything to go back to it, but very, very few jobs will accomodate this schedule. Sadly, I didn't get around to trying this schedule until my Sophomore year of college. ) And thank you to everyone who's shown such interest in this.
The details are at the Official Uberman Sleep Blog, located at. So I've finally decided to try it again, keep better records and hopefully answer some of the prevalent questions.
SLEEP SCHEDULE CREATOR FULL
Since I wrote this node I have never stopped getting comments and email about it, and the number of blogs and articles where people have tried it-and more than often failed, and sometimes accused me of being full of doo-have kept increasing.
NOTE, June 2006: I first experimented with the Uberman schedule back in 1998-99. For another, SEE ALSO: Everyman Sleep Schedule. One type of Polyphasic Sleep, the first that I ever tried.
