Is it useful to learn to REM-nap even though I don't plan to sleep polyphasically? Is it worth going through adaptation?
I don't entirely follow... Is there such a thing as 'learning to REM-nap' without the proposed mechanism of the pressure of sleep rebound forcing a REM rebound during the space of a nap?
I mean I am interested in undergoing adaptation through sleep deprivation, then something like uberman then everyman.
It would not be viable for me to stay in a polyphasic schedule next year. Ultimately, I will have to return to something largely along the lines of segmented or monophasic. Still, I have heard that undergoing polyphasic-style adaptation can help you to become acclimatised to getting REM sleep in a 20-30 minute period, something I currently can't do, but might be useful if I have a sleep debt or if I know I'm going to do an all-nighter etc.
So...
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post, even in Discussion, it goes here.
