I plan to begin the everyman schedule, for those with no previous knowledge of this, lets see I should give an online account:
Everyman Sleep Schedule@Everything2.com

the advice I found was here:
Mechanics of Polyphasic Sleep

or possibly from looking up the doctor mentioned in the above post.

Also: I would guess that there are others doing the everyman sleep schedule if there is mass place for these plans then please tell me, otherwise, feel free to post your own accounts

The advice I have is to have many activities (hopefully as many physical as I can muster up), my ideas are that I can do my school work (summer school physics and MCAT prep course), checking out a moving/standing meditation system I am interested in, reading, watching netflix which i get 3 at a time, visiting friends, exercising, swimming, I do not wish to take up video games though if i could find a similar thing that was teaching me something useful then maybe, web browsing, possibly library visiting, and a light -20 min per session- weight training system.

green tea will be my only caffiene and stevia my main sugar though i do have icecream and no big plan to have a specific diet.

My schedule: 3:30-6:30 -- 12:00pm-12:20pm -- 5:00-5:20 -- 10:00-10:20 -->
5.5 hrs 5hrs 5hrs 5.5 hrs

3 20 min naps spaced relatively evenly across the day.. 4 total hours of sleep time per day.

I will try this for one month which is up to a family trip I'll be taking on june 28th to ireland. I know, its quite sad i'll only have about 1-2 weeks tops to enjoy it with little discomfort. Its possible that if I enjoy it I'll start it again after the 10 day trip but otherwise I intend to try a raw food detox with as much sleep as I desire... maybe i'll save that for next summer...

I am 20 and currently living at my mother's home without a job awaiting my 3rd year of college. I'll be using my cell phone which can be programmed for various alarms, as well as a personal alarm clock and a watch timer that can take 20 min naps very well. On possibly a side note I hope to have my lucid dreaming ability and recall increase, we'll see how this goes aswell, I'll try to keep this updated if I can find the time ;-p.

Any advice? Anyone want to tell me how bad of an idea it is (it is your right)? Tell me about your experience of something similar?
