SLEEP. \u00a0Interesting. \u00a0I’ve always been fascinated by the intensity and surreal character of my dreams. \u00a0In addition, during my MSc I did some computational neuroscience research at my university’s neurolab<\/a>, and participated in a congress on “neuro-physiopathology of sleep<\/em>” at the Men\u00e9ndez Pelayo University<\/a>.\u00a0 So I devoured the 1000 word article and was left quite puzzled.<\/p>\n

Can you really sleep 2h a day and feel rested?\u00a0 Why had I never heard of this ?\u00a0 Surely you would feel exhausted and die!!<\/p>\n

Time to research the issue at hand.\u00a0 So I visited\u00a0 everything2<\/a>,\u00a0 steve pavlina<\/a>, kuro5hin<\/a>, puredoxyk<\/a>.\u00a0 Really?\u00a0 Were these people lying or was it really possible to actually feel better, more productive, and have incredibly long days?<\/p>\n

From that day on, there was only one outcome:\u00a0 I had to try it!\u00a0 But as a scientist I also wanted to make the most of the experiment.\u00a0 This is where this blog starts.\u00a0 It’s the beginning of a quantitative experiment on polyphasic sleep.\u00a0 Stay tuned<\/a>!<\/p>\n
