Hi I just wanted to introduce myself to the communitry. I first heard of the concent of polyphasic sleep in Neil Strauss's
The Game, last Friday. I became fascinated with the concept and stayed up until 7:30AM reading about it online, and I want to point out that Steve Pavlina's account of his polyphasic sleep experience has been very helpful. His tremendous success with polyphasic sleep is very inspiring. I have come across many disbelievers, and people tell me I'm crazy for wanting to try polyphasic sleep. I just can't help but think of the possiblities if I succeed. I think they're crazy for not wanting to try it.
I'm a freshman at the University of Florida, and I'm gonna be done with finals next week. I plan on starting on the Uberman schedule on the 15th. Now I play rugby, train in MMA (mixed martial arts), and lift weights regularly. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with very intense physical exercise, and how it's affected by Polyphasic sleep. Steve mentioned a little about lifting weights in his blog, but if anyone has additional information that would be great. I'm also going to keep a blog of this at
Project Polyphasic Sleep. I'm not sure how that's going to work out because I don't know how much traffic I'll get there. I'll definetly post updates of my experience here, since there's interest here.
