I understood the rationale behind it but the question is do you have any evidence to back this up? Sounds like armchair theorizing to me. For example, when I used to do everyman I would want to go back to sleep after a nap almost as much as after the core (and quite quickly I would actually start feeling somewhat refreshed from the core). However, I wouldn't generalize from my experience too much.
Also you are adding a no-sleep (not too much) and fasting on the 22nd but doing 12 naps a day and all kinds of stuff like that - no strict schedule for the transition from the 12 naps a day to 6 naps a day for example.Which is not necessarily counter-productive but it is at least questionable as it is unusual. And I am not even mentioning how you are giving yourself way more options to fail and other such potential drawbacks to your 'study'.
You're completely right; I don't have solid evidence to back this up. In fact, that's why I'm doing this. I have various anecdotes and largely irrelevant sleep studies. This is preliminary exploratory research, to see whether it's worth my time to look into it further. It's whatever the opposite of 'armchair theorizing' is.
