Hmmm...

I tried biphasic last night. 21:00-22:30, and 1:00-5:30. I overslept the core sleep until 6:30 ;-).

Well, okay, first off I'd have to fuzz around with the timings... Also, I think, if I seriously do this, it will be important to actually get out of bed in the time between nap and core sleep.

Secondly, since I usually sleep 7 hours (0-7), I'm starting to doubt the advantage. Wouldn't it be better to just switch to 6 hours of sleep in one block?

Why go biphasic and not just sleep for an increment of 90 mins?

Thanks for any hints!
