Well I failed on my 2nd day of Uberman; after my 10pm nap I was toast; I couldn't stay awake; I sat on the couch and couldn't stay awake, kept waking up and dozing off again because my eyes wouldn't stay open. The next day I overslept my 8am nap and woke up at 11, plus a couple in the afternoon I wouldn't wake up from; I ended up sleeping a total of 5 1/2 hours yesterday. I felt great after I had the extra sleep - tons of energy and no ill-effects. But no harm done; I guess the Uberman is still a couple of weeks away at least.
Polyphasic is such a clumsy term - sleeping multiple times in a day is not the same thing as sleeping in multiple phases, as is implied by the term. Nor does it refer to sleep at all - it could just as easily describe the moon and it's phases. And if something has only a single phase, then it has no phases at all, so the term polyphasic is actually redundant - no wonder the term is clutzy.
Somatasomal - now there's a cool sounding term.
