I eat between 1200 and 1500 calories a day. I found it surprisingly easy to make the transition.

I've also tried polyphasic sleep, which would be a huge tangible benefit if I could get it to work, but I simply lack the willpower to stick with it through the transition period.

Did you try polyphasic sleep before or during CR? I think MV found it only possible during CR.

I've tried it several times, both before and during.
