a polyphasic sleep schedule.

The essence of it is a short 3 hour core sleep time in the early morning, and several 20 minute naps (every 4 hours) spaced throughout the day.

Polyphasic sleep is not very common and the most cited examples are from popular pop-myth stories of Thomas Edison and DaVinci never sleeping, just taking catnaps throughout the day.

Edison's sleep aversion

. . . Thomas Alva Edison's goal for producing the electric light bulb was to eliminate "unproductive sleep."

He felt that since he only need 4-5 hours per night, that his invention of electric lights would encourage people to sleep less and be more productive.

"Most people overeat 100 percent and oversleep one hundred percent because they like it," he wrote.

"That extra 100 percent makes them unhealthy and inefficient.

The person who sleeps eight or ten hours a night is never fully asleep and never fully awake?

they have only different degrees of doze through the twenty-four hours."

I am lucky to get 3-5 hours of sleep..

I stay up 24-30 hours then sleep 3-5 hours, damn internal alarm clock !
