Biphasic/Polyphasic Sleeping

basically its brutal for 2-4 weeks getting accustomed to it
and then you feel great
but in the middle of your class you have to take a nap on schedule so you dont feel like shit

do it and report back

I'm kinda used to sleep 6 hours as a minimun amount of sleep in a day (in a row, of course).

Do you think it will be hard to get used to sleep the same amount but in the schedule I'm planning to use?

Biphasic Sleep is better. polyphasic is practically impossible unless you are a NEET who has all of his time to himself. And it has to be done carefully. I usually sleep about 6-7 hours a day from 2-8 am. Thats all i need and the rest of the time is spent doing work

I tried a triphasic variant a few years back (two 1/2 h naps and 4 h sleep at night I think?) It really works, you just need to be very strict with the sleeping schedule and the brain adapts after a week or so, eventually putting you in the much needed REM-sleep as soon as you take your nap. Saves a lot of time in theory but hard to pull off as other stuff will often get in the way (if you have a life).

It's not about the amount of sleep, it's the quality. The idea is that you can save time by spreading your sleep out throughout the day, forcing your brain to go into quality sleep instead of wasting time with long cycles inbetween deep sleep and REM-sleep.

I had no idea this was a thing, but that's the way my sleep schedule has shifted ever since i started college two years ago. I would sleep 3-4 hours from 4-5am til 8am and then taking a 1-2 hour nap after coming back from school. The only problem ive had is that im usually tired at my job, which i go to during the weekends. Everything else feels the same to me.

Also, how truth is that scientifics like Tesla as an example slept like 2 or 3 hours a day?

That kinda sounds fake, even the source where I found that information said that Tesla suffered of mental colapse at a very young age for his sleeping schedule. The thing is that I couldn't find a better source of the sleeping schedule of succesful people like that one, what makes me think is fake.
