PolyPhasic Sleep: Effects on a Human Body

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of polyphasic sleep on the level of productivity, cognitive skills and health in general. The studies were conducted for 6 months, during which we experimented on ourselves within the framework of three polyphasic sleep patterns: Uberman, Everyman and Dymaxion. The target was to find out if polyphasic sleep could increase efficiency without affecting health, both mentally and physically. Well-known personalities like Nikola Tesla, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, etc. to name a few are frequently mentioned when discussing the benefits of polyphasic sleep, but there is scanty documentation backing up the effects of the phenomenon in the modern day. Therefore, this study attempted to do just that by assessing the burden placed on cognitive, emotional and physical health by each of those sleep schedules having employed lots of instruments such as smart watches, productivity applications, and cognitive tests.
