Sleeping management for geniuses

Sleeping for 20 minutes every 4 hours... What a sleep schedule. Apperently, for those who managed to STICK with it, it supposedly worked out great.

Leonardo, Einstein, and others who needed a lot of time used this to have more hours. It works by giving you more REM sleep, in which you actually rest and regenerate, then you would in a day sleeping for 8 hours during the night.

I was seriously thinking of trying it, but then chickened out. Maybe when I move out I'll do it.

Hmm. I'm interested. May have to try this out some time. :)

I wanted to do it becuase I could play games when not many people were online.

No matter how good of comcast internet you have, if you're in a big loop, it will still be slow.

But I get up at 5:30 AM anyway every other day so I can game in peace... XP

Hmm... no I don't think so. ;)

Its a real challenge to do, but the problem is that your REM cycle is not necessarily just 20 minutes. In fact it can last up to 90 minutes, so you're in trouble then. I know I couldn't handle it because I can't do it psychologically, it would drive me nuts. then again, sanity levels in genius's is something questionable on its own so....

Doesn't it take like at least 20 min to even reach "rem" sleep?
