    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 :))

    First really strong evidence that the vestibular system affects sleep architecture, sleep stability and sleep spindles. If there is an effect due to a changing acceleration there might also be an effect of no gravity vector. We'll find out when I get the space shuttle data.

    Why do we sleep? One answer could be: to clear waste products accumulated during the day. To prevent aging and neurodegeneration, the body must maintain homeostasis. What would happen if we experience chronic sleep loss? What would happen if microgravity impairs the cerebrospinal fluid to flush the brain? What would happen if cosmic radiations increase the amount of daily waste products?

    I guess, people working in the really most sleep-deprived areas simply had no time to give an interview... or fell asleep while the first question was asked!

    Before it gets out of control... I hope you realise that quoting "Science Daily" in the context of science is pretty much like using Daily Mail as your reference news agency?
