I feel it's important to say that my experiment merely proves that Dymaxion sleep is infeasible for me. It doesn't say another person might not be able to get it to work, and I certainly hope it doesn't discourage the others here who have thought about trying polyphasic sleep.

I assume here you meant to say "If I can't make that work".
I'm eager to see how your transition works out--taking a whole month to cut down to 6*20 could well be the best way to do it. You might consider not only gradually transitioning from long naps to short naps, but also from 1 block of sleep to 6 blocks of sleep. Just a thought. Let me know how it goes!
