Hi Bdavis,

I'm still on the 4.5 + 1.5 schedule (started in September 2006) - works well. The other approach you mentioned (taking several short naps) didn't work as well for me personally.

It's certainly worth trying though; no doubt everyone responds differently.

One quick thing on the goal 'to sleep as little as possible' - the quality of sleep will play a large role here. After all, you're presumably trying to save time here so you can spend more time in other areas of your life.

If you're well-rested, more alert and focused, thinking clearer; you may well get more out of those other areas.
