Sleep Hackers

Getting the proper amount of sleep has been a pain for some people who need to follow the proper amount of sleep to gain. Some people would choose to go through a day without sleep while some would look at alternatives to remedy their sleep problem.

Personally, you cannot go on without sleeping. You have to take breaks and perhaps take naps. There are intervals in a 24 hour time frame that a person will reach a certain peak hour that they will have to slow down and perhaps get some form of sleep, no matter how long it may be.

There are various types of sleep regimens and perhaps this excerpt can point people in the proper direction towards hacking sleep.

There are various types of sleep regimens floating around the internet, but the one Rachel tried was called the Uberman (though she’s not much for the name).

It works like this: you break up the 24 hours of the day into 4 hour chunks. At some point in each 4 hour set, you take a twenty minute nap; the total amount of sleep adds up to about two hours. The schedule meant she’d have to sleep some during the workday, which her bosses approved, as long as she documented her progress on the how-to site. Her boyfriend was even up for trying to match their schedules.

McConnell began her sleep regimen, and at first things went well.

“I was able to get more done. I was up at three in the morning thinking, ‘Ok, what can I do now?’” she said. “I was able to make significant headway on my enormous to-do lists. I would go out on bicycle rides in the middle of the night.”

But by day five, her experience was already starting to deteriorate, even as she held out hope that her body would acclimate to the new sleep schedule.
