I have done a lot of thinking about sleep because I am a night person but I need to be more of an early riser for work. I read an article on how to become an early riser and it has really helped me. The gist of it is that your body knows how much sleep you need so setting a bed time is not necessarily a good idea. However, you need to wake up at a consistent hour and your body will figure things out.
We have already talked about taking the best nap but there is another interesting concept out there called Polyphasic sleep. The idea is that you take short 15-45 minute naps every 2 hours. The end result is that you only have to sleep about 3-5 hours a day. Imagine the productivity. Many great people have been rumored to do this such as DaVinci and Bruce Lee, but no confirmed long term cases have been proved. Steve Palina and Nick Busey are a couple of people attempting it and keeping a blog of their progress. I know most people’s current job would not accommodate those hours. It is an interesting read if nothing else.
So everyone read up and have a good night’s sleep!
