What is polyphasic sleep? Well, according to Wikipedia,

Polyphasic sleep is a sleep pattern intended to reduce sleep time to 2–5 hours daily. This is achieved by spreading out sleep into short naps of around 20–45 minutes throughout the day.

Facinating, isn’t it? Here’s a guy who’s trying it right now:

I’m starting this polyphasic sleep schedule today, so last night was my last night of “normal” sleep for a while. I still got up at 5am this morning, and then I’ll begin doing the naps every 4 hours starting this afternoon. I’ll use a countdown timer alarm set for 30 minutes, so I won’t oversleep. I’ve decided that my sleep times will be 1am, 5am, 9am, 1pm, 5pm, and 9pm. I aim to continue at least until Halloween… or death, whichever comes first. If it seems to be going well and I retain basic functionality, then I’ll decide whether I want to continue with it.

Remember, if you have an irregular schedule or work on and off, this polyphasic sleep might just do the trick for your sleeping.

Check out Uberman’s sleep schedule also, which seems to be a type of polyphasic sleep.

Imagine waking up to these pranks!

Yes, this is great for anyone who want to filter out background noise and listen to some wave sounds or birds but through my personal experience, it might be better to record some relaxing music on your MP3 or iPOD and listen to that instead. Probably will save you money too.

Having trouble getting a good night’s sleep because of all the noise in or outside your home? Noise no more with this little dynamo, the sleep sound generator from the fine folks at the Sharper Image.

Knock out those annoying pets, trains, or buses as you enjoy the soothing sounds of the sleep sound generator. Also a great deal for traveler’s who need to mask hotel sounds and get a great night’s sleep.
