More details...
Why:
I currently live in India with my girlfriend. I'm working full time for a company and helping start up a new business in the UK (all todo with computery goodness). I need more hours then there are in the day :)
Also, i've always been interested in the dynamics of sleep, i used to study about lucid dreaming and other phases and i'm intrigued as to whether it will actually work. I've been reading blogs of a few other people that have tried it and after about 2 weeks they adjust to it.
How:
I'm going to be starting tonight at 2am for 30 minutes and then keep it going from there. The trick to not feeling completely *fucked* is to regulate your nap schedules and be VERY strict with them. I have authoristation from my boss and company to do this and more importantly from my girlfriend too.
I'm going to need the strength to get through the first few nights but after that it supposedly starts to get easier.
I've dealt with strange sleeping patterns before but this really takes the biscuit. I'm also thinking of setting up a blog to document my experience
(I need something to do during the night!!)
@TRL: I believe that as stated before, the key is actually regulating your naps to exactly 30 minutes rather than sleeping when and if you can. It's more of an experiment for me than anything else, but we'll see
