Around 1\/3 of all Americans don\u2019t have enough sleep. And the problem is that they are very busy and most of the time they need to cut from their sleep time in order to complete all their day to day tasks. Which is a shame, because you lower your productivity levels if you do that. You will also have less sleep hours, so you will feel tired for most of the time. Some people believe that polyphasic sleep can be a very good idea, but is it worth it? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\r\n

\r\n

What is polyphasic sleep?<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\"\"\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n

The huge majority of people are monophasic sleepers. They just sleep for a huge chunk during the night and that\u2019s it. The polyphasic sleepers are not like that. There are multiple polyphasic sleep schedules out there, but the primary focus here is on making sure that you control your sleep pattern the way you want.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Is it good for your health?<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n

There\u2019s no long term research on the downsides of polyphasic sleep. Sure, in the short term you shouldn\u2019t have that much of a problem with it. You will notice that polyphasic sleep will be great for you if you have a lot of work to go through and your productivity is not that good with the current schedule. But you still need a good night\u2019s sleep in order to increase your concentration. That being said, there are some people that sleep less than 7-8 hours per day thanks to the polyphasic sleep patterns and they get to work super well.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

What type of polyphasic sleep is good for you?<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n

A popular schedule is to sleep 4 hours during the night and then you spread 2 hours in 20-minute chunks of sleep scattered during the day. Or you can sleep 3 hours during the night and then add 1 hour of sleep during the day, once each 3-4 hours. It\u2019s a very good way to lower your sleep time and increase your productivity. It\u2019s definitely the type of thing that can help you a lot, especially if you want to avoid any kind of rush. You have to keep in mind the fact that once you start this type of schedule, you pretty much have to stick to it. That doesn\u2019t mean it will be a hard thing to do. But it comes with its fair share of challenges, and that\u2019s why you need to be patient with it.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

How much should you stick to polyphasic sleep?<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n

As we mentioned earlier, there\u2019s not a lot of research when it comes to polyphasic sleep. But what we do know is that doing it for the short term won\u2019t be a problem. That\u2019s why you need to try out polyphasic sleep when you have a ton of work to go through and can\u2019t really do everything you want without any challenges. There won\u2019t be a lot of health risks if you still get enough sleep during the day. But a lack of sleep can definitely be a problem, so try to take that into account!<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
