    I was into this some time ago and found a documentary in which they performed an experiment on a guy. Long story short, it didn't work that good. He was semi-lucid all the time and his mental performance dropped. Perhaps it is possible to survive like this for months, but if your goal is to maximize your daily output, you will not gain extra work hours due to being 3/4 conscious most of the time. EDIT: Not related to the documentary I mentioned but some first hand stories: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/co5t9/i_attempted_polyphasic_sleep_for_a_documentary_ama/c0tza1e

    I also heard about it. At the moment, I am on some sort of bi-phasic sleep and I am not feeling more tired than with the monophasic one (while sleeping effectively less right now).

    If it exists, there's an xkcd about it: http://xkcd.com/320/ Actually the schedule proposed there is quite useful if you're into this whole Friday / Saturday night thing..

    I don't see why it wouldn't work if you manage to detach yourself from the cycardian input. As in never ever see sun and daylight :))

    Tri-phasic sleep rhythm works fine.

    The functional principle is similar to ordinary pumped storage plants: when power is needed, water flows into the sphere and drives the turbine thus generating power. If surplus power is available (usually during the night), water can be pumped out of the sphere again, thus effectively charging the storage system.
