I've a few questions about those "atypical sleep patterns" :
Are there studies about their long-term effect on health, lifespan, IQ, ... ?
How do they cope with sickness/wounds ? If you get the flu, will you be able to heal as fast using a Uberman or Everyman sleep pattern ? People doing monophasic will tend to sleep much more when sick, both increase the size of the monophasic sleep and doing naps. What happens if you follow Uberman/Everyman ? Can you get this additional sleep when sick, without breaking the whole adaptation ?
How do they cope with various kind of schedule/social constraints ? With monophasic sleep, you can relatively easily adapt your sleep schedule (staying awake late, waking up early) to cope with any event, from a family dinner to a RPG night to a plane to catch, what happens when you disturb the sleep pattern of Uberman/Everyman ? Do they handle such "transgression" as well ass monophasic ?
Re: 3... Geoff Anders of Leverage, who has been on Everyman 3 for months, said to me in an email:
I think by "polyphasic" he means "adhering to a specific polyphasic schedule" which is what the term often means, given that outside of the polyphasic community people are much more likely to sleep random/flexible hours even if they nap etc.
