Uberman, and other polyphasic sleep cycles? - depends if it works for you. Don't force yourself to do it if it, don't expect it to work for you. Feel free to try it; lifestyle is also relevant in considering this sleep implementation,

As far as I know there are no documented cases of people successfully doing Uberman for multiple years. There are theoretical reasons to expect long-term harm from it. Uberman sounds cool but I don't think there a rational case for starting Uberman.
