How much sleep do you guys typically get (or aim for)?
I find myself spending 7-10 hours sleeping and yet I'm always tired. Tonight I'm going to attempt a polyphasic sleep cycle, taking 90 minute naps at 9am, 6:30pm, and 1:30am. This should reduce my sleep time down to 4.5 hours, giving me 2.5-5.5h of additional free time.
The idea of many polyphasic sleep schedules is to make sleep more efficient, thus requiring less of it. Additionally, you space out your sleep throughout the day as to increase alertness as you're awake. Unfortunately some of the more adventurous sleep cycles I am not able to attempt, as my work prevents me from napping halfway through my 7 hour shift.
