Uberman Sleep Schedule
At the moment I’ve got some free time so I thought to myself, why not give the Uberman Sleep Schedule (USS) a go? It’s basically a way of reducing your overall sleep time through an initial adaptation period of having a series of naps. There’s more info on the Wikipedia site – click here.
From my initial literature search, it seems that no one knows what the long term effects are and the first couple of days are the worst. From this, I’m hoping that I’ll be feeling less fatigued throughout the day having only had a few hours of sleep overall.
The method I’ve devised for myself is to get 4 hours of “core sleep” then have three 30 minute naps spread throughout the day. Hopefully I’ll adjust to this regime in a week or two and find it easier to wake up and fall asleep. Ideally, I’d like to have a few hours of “core sleep” and a 30 minute nap when I get back from a 9-5 working day.
Let the experiment begin!
