GUIDE to POLYPHASIC SLEEP
****THREAD👇👇👇
✅Sleep Cycles
✅Better Sleep
✅More Energy
✅Maximize Productivity
*Sleeping 1x Daily is as natural as eating 3 x Daily*

8 Consecutive Hours: Recent Phenomenon
No Humans slept 8 hours straight
Until Electricity + Industrial Revolution
3 Types of Sleep Patterns:
✅Monophasic (Modern 8 Hours)
✅Biphasic (Core Sleep and Sleep/Nap)
✅Polyphasic (Core and/or Multiple naps)
BIPHASIC SLEEP - "Segmented"
*Natural Human Sleep Pattern
Pre-Industrial Revolution:
Humans slept 2 X Daily
✅3-4 hours after dusk
✅3-4 hours into dawn
2-3 hours awake at night:
✅Sex
✅Writing
✅Cleaning
✅Bathing
BIPHASIC SLEEP - "Siesta"
✅5-6 Hours: Core
✅30 minutes: Nap
SLEEP CYCLE - Ultradian Rhythm
90-120 Mins = 1 Sleep Cycle
*Approximation
NREM (1-3), REM (4)
1: (10m) Transition, Brain Activity,
2: (40m) Theta Waves, Eyes Stop, Heart Slows
3. (20m) Delta Waves, Deep Relaxation, Slow Breath
4. (20m) Irregular Breath, Dreams, Rapid Eyes
POLYPHASIC SLEEP
✅Captures the "REM" portion of Sleep
✅Core Sleep: Full Sleep Cycles (1.5, 3, 4.5 Hr)
✅Naps: Induce (20m) REM efficiently
You MAY sleep < 8 Hrs Daily
*Complete Sleep Cycles ...
More important than Total Sleep
*Core:
Multiples of Full Sleep Cycles
EVERYMAN CYCLE
Core: 1x 3.5h (2 X Sleep Cycles)
Nap: 3 X 20m
✅High Flexibility
✅Consistent Naps
✅19 Hour Days
DYMAXION CYCLE
Core: None
Naps: 4 X 30m
Famous Polyphasic Sleepers
Leonardo Da Vinci
Thomas Jefferson
Winston Churchill
Albert Einstein
Nikola Tesla
Benjamin Franklin
Napoleon
MASTER LIST of Polyphasic Sleep
Monophasic
Biphasic - Segmented
Biphasic - Siesta

ADAPTATION
1.Cold-Turkey
2.Gradual Adaptation
-30+ Days
-REM Carrys over between Naps
Example:
Everyman: Monophasic -> E1 -> E2 -> E3
Dual Core: Monophasic -> Segmented -> DC1
Triphasic: Monophasic -> Segmented -> Triphasic
