In my experience, the habit of napping has definitely made it easier to transition to the full uberman schedule. My first attempt was full of undisciplined oversleeps and an inability to fall asleep during naps. Not only did I practice napping for many months after that, but I slipped quite easily into the full uberman schedule from an afternoon nap schedule, and any napping problems were eliminated, and I was relatively alert.
I did not stop that second round because it was hard to stay awake. I stopped because I started a raw diet about 3 weeks previous, and I began to experience intense detox symptoms of headache and nausea. Going raw and doing polyphasic at the same time was too much for my body.
As I gear up for my 3rd attempt, I've started a regular napping schedule again.
