I remember trying this some year ago when a lot of bloggers were trying it out and blogging about their experiences. I tried the Uberman Sleep Cycle (4x15min) but inevitably it wore me down to the point of being completely nonfunctional.
- Rudism 13y agoI had the same experience when I tried it about 7 or 8 years ago. When I finally decided to stop (after about 2 months on Uberman) I crashed for about 14 hours straight, and was still oversleeping/catching up every night for about a week afterwards.
- bryanlarsen 13y agoI tried it for about 3 months in 2005. Things I noticed: - I gave up caffeine the month before the trial. I had pretty significant withdrawal effects (migraines) for that month. - I was pretty much completely non-functional for about half an hour before the scheduled nap times - I didn't think I was impacted very much, but friends commented after that I definitely seemed less bright than normal. I hope that it was for the half an hour mentioned above, but if you want to try it you should definitely try and get some objective measurement of performance. - I still notice effects to this day. I can nap pretty much wherever & whenever I want, and fall asleep within minutes of my head hitting the pillow. Before the trial, it used to take me hours to fall asleep.
- IanChiles 13y agoThankfully the recommended uberman is 6x20-22 and dymaxion is 4x30, but there are no confirmed successful adaptations to it. Uberman is seriously difficult to adapt to, but Everyman-3 is a good compromise (several naps and a core)
