Some links I came across with a thorough, well researched view of sleep. Two articles, with key excerpts:

Polyphasic Sleep III has fallen to the forces of normal life. More specifically, a steadily progressing family health situation demands more of my time during the day, to the point where I pretty much can't take naps at home during until everyone's asleep, and I've had to trim my time ...

So it has been a while since I wrote something useful. I have either an excuse or an explanation, (depending on how you value excuses). Two weekends ago, I got sick and, long story short, I got better but I had to sleep a lot to do it. ...

When I originally decided to do polyphasic sleep, it was because there were too many things I wanted to do and not enough time to do them. Polyphasic sleep was something I could add to my life that would accommodate everything and make room for more. But I ...

I can certainly see why Steve Pavlina set aside so much time to dedicate to adjusting to polyphasic sleep, and how his job and life flexibility helped him so much. I was going to try and start full fledged polyphasic sleep Monday, but my mother-in-law got sick and needed ...

Well, as you can tell from the title, this post doesn’t contain good news. Well, mostly not good news. On Sunday night I kept the polyphasic sleep schedule for most of the night, but when I woke up from my 4:00am nap, I went to the couch and ...
