hey guys (not sure if this should go in this forum... but it comes under sleep i guess)

i'm thinkin of tryin this polyphasic sleep thing (probably start it about a month from now)... i know that it's ridiculously hard to get past the adaption phase, but i got afew things in my favour such as:
- i live by myself in a flat = no distractions
- i drink nooo caffeine, and little alcohol
- i don't work, so i can clear my schedule for as long as i need
- i wake up every morning at 5am, and am pretty disciplined at this
- good physical shape

I was just wondering if any of you have any tips that'll help me succeed, and if any of you have attempted this, feedback would be much appreciated. Also, i was thinking of becoming a vegetarian during it, due to the 'food digests easier therefore less energy is used in digestion process' argument, or mayb it's not really worth it. I should add that i'm not really a fan of meat, and it wouldn't be missed if i switch over. Anywayz yes, if i do attempt this, i'll keep you guys posted about it, probably in a blog or somethin.
