i’ve used polyphasic sleep accidentally when i was working from home and moving house without the benefit of the ex and… other stuff. it just happened to be a point in my life where i was nightmarishly busy, but also had the freedom to work in whatever chunks of time i could grab, and i wound up kind of organically sleeping in 90ish minute chunks more or less around the clock for about 3 weeks. i felt AWESOME. best i’ve felt ever, sleep-wise. i’d love to be able to do it again. i fell into it naturally and there was zero adjustment time.

of course, the other reason it makes me drool is because i think it’d be fascinating to find out what’s going on with your brain and hormones and moods and such when ya do that. sleep habits are endlessly intriguing.

…to me.

I tend to remember the dreams that are important. Not sure how my unconscious mind determines which are important, but the ones with the recurring themes, the meaningful symbols, the crazy prophecies. The rest gets flushed down the memory-hole. Which is good because if I spend all night packing with some family I don't know, I'd rather not remember it. Oh... polyphasic sleep. Dontcha just wanna? Maybe now would be a good time for me to try it. Well like I said (when? like… yesterday?) I tend to remember the dreams that are important.
