I tried the uberman a couple of times, but with 7 phases and an extra one on weekends, 30 minutes naps because I'm active in sports, to get enough slow wave sleep for growth hormone production. I had it all planned out, for every single minute an activity to not fall asleep again, not a effin chance, I could do 2-3 days max, then I started to babble, tried over and over again, even shortened to a nap every 1.5 hours to phase it out slowly, never made it through the zombie phase which lasts 2 weeks. You absolutely need a partner for that to wake you up, good luck finding one waking you up every 3 hours :) Dual core should be a walk in the park though, looking forward to your report!
It hasn't been all that easy so far! Not so much because of being tired, but because falling asleep when I have to for the naps is difficult. Also, waking up in the middle of the night has proven to be a challenge as my mind and body simply don't understand that what they've been doing for more than 2 decades has to change. I'm moving forward, though!
Yes that was my problem too, in the beginning cycles you can't fall asleep and from the later cycles you can't wake up :)
Nice post thanks for sharing
Nice post. I really love the fact that you're sharing it. Now let me go read it ;)
Ow, well. that sounds like a good experiment. If it fails while using cannabis, will you also try it out without?
And why not try the uberman method. It sounds/looks insane yes, but would be AMAZING if that would actually work....
Are all of these patterns based on a 24hour-schedule? Because I had looked into something once, which divides the week into six days, and each block you sleep eight hours, but jsut stay up longer. Whcih has the downside you have to sometimes sleep during the day. But seemed quite interesting also, to up the amount of hours you have to live your life.
Will be interested to know what you will find out by this experiment!
It's a daily schedule! And yes, if I notice cannabis to really make it too hard, I'll try without. It's quite likely as it affects REM sleep length. I've gotta try it out, though.
I'm quite honestly really intimidated by the Uberman schedule. I work out pretty regularly and I feel I need at least a little sleep to recover, other than "washing and rinsing" my brain. Perhaps in the future I'll try it, but I'd rather start here!
Oh damn, I forgot to add a couple of links actually. Thanks for checking it out though, I'm sure we'll learn... something from the experience.
Keep us posted on the results. I'm always interested in 'life hacks/body hacks', or lifestyle changes in general that challenge the norm.
Will do, Neg! I've always been really interested in this kind of alternative ways to do everyday things. Who knows, maybe this is the road to my first masterpiece, written during the night for weeks. It will be fun to see if I start writing like Stephen King or deteriorate until I'm writing Maroon 5 lyrics.
Very interesting, keep us updated. Don't would love to see if you can actually pull it off. That's like a super power: increased time!
It's totally a super power! It's more or less worked out so far but I hope by the time of the next post I at least have the falling-asleep part down. Thanks for reading!

Hello, I think it is not an exaggeration to give the most important sleep, I think it is the stage of life in which the brain, the true champion of survival takes full control of the body, and performs important functions of detoxification and cell regeneration , if your experiment does not work, do not worry, I have a product that will help you to increase the "quality" of your rest, and even if you sleep a little, you will do it with more benefit, it is called Bionic Rest System, I really like it if you want experience because the dream and our nightlife is a dark area within human knowledge and almost nobody deals with that.
One thing I discovered in my research, among others, is that if you tilt your bed a bit, that your head is higher, improve your digestion and therefore your rest too.
Greetings and see my first post, when I do.
