issue with segmented sleep, is that you MUST keep to the cycle and not miss a 'nap' or the entire thing will screw up. this makes it impossible for people attending school, college, or any sort of job that requires anything longer than a 4 hour shift. as awesome as it sounds, tis simply not practical for modern life.

I have had weird sleeping schedules for weeks on end for Battledawn when playing M1.. I'd sleep about 6 hours a night in 50 minute intervals. Sleep 50, wake 10, sleep 50 wake 10 etc etc. Would end up with about 6 hours of sleep and feel fully refreshed. Mind you, this was during exam periods so I was also busy studying all day.

I actually read this study 5-6 months ago. I tried segmented sleep, i had mock exams coming up then so i thought that i could sleep for 4 hours, be awake for 5-6 hours then sleep for 4 hours again. I learnt that it doesnt work too well for me as im at my deepest point of sleep at 4 hours, i can in fact sleep for just 3 hours though and that is what i do now. It took a lot of experimenting on myself, 6 hours works aswell but you feel quite tired and sleepy after waking up, i researched the reason for that and i know it but i cant be bothered to explain it. For me, now that i have my real exams, i tend to pull all nighters and have a couple 2.5-3 hour sleep segments in between.

Segmented sleep isn't about taking naps during the day, it's about breaking up your sleep cycle, e.g. instead of sleeping 8 hours straight at night, go to bed an hour earlier, sleep 4 hours, be awake for 1, then sleep for 4 more. Your normal daily routine can still continue as normal.

I have a question...
What is "sleep" ?

I do not do this activity

The problem w/ segmented sleep is you have to train your body to instantaneously go into REM sleep otherwise you won't feel refreshed at all...more so exhausted.

also some people dont really like waking up from sleep in the middle of night

i think maybe segmented sleep would work for me, as i feel even more tired waking up from a 7-8 hour sleep than a 2 hour one. it's just not practical though.

I feel more focused if I sleep less tbh... have only slept 2 hrs a day for this week, yet I'm having a lot of things done...

probably due to stress for the most part, but unlike being stressed I do everything carefully and not rushing things...
