Re: CR and Polyphasic Sleep (siesta)

[Guest guest]

Taking a nap or " siesta " during the daytime is a tradition in many

countries.

In many Latin American countries, businesses close at midday for

several hours to allow employees to go home, eat, and take a short nap.

need less hours of sleep because of their CR practice, but they

usually mean needing one hour less that what they needed prior to CR.

professions have done it while in college when the demands or our

studies required us to stay up long hours producing something. But

unless you're self employed, carrying on with the practice you suggest

is really not possible. Where would one take a 20 minute nap every 4

hours at one's employer's offices? It would be interesting if someone

practices a modified version of that, working professionally 12 hours

in a job, then spending the evening attempting the polyphasic sleep,

with the intent of creating something, or studying a new skill on the

computer
