Hi, thanks for your post. Yeah, I haven't heard of anyone doing it for more than 2 years...yet. It's definitely hard to stay motivated when you don't have the support of people around you. Just keep in mind that most people have never even heard of polyphasic sleep and it's been drilled into our heads that we need at least 8 hours of sleep every night (granted, this is true for monophasic sleep). The risk of the adjustment period is sleep deprivation, which you can watch for, but after that polyphasic seems to be very safe and even beneficial. Long term effects (more than 2 years) are unknown, though, since not many people have tried this.

I'll be sure to take a look at your log I'm going to be up at that time anyway, since I'm starting the Everyman sleep schedule in a couple days! (Here's the link to that thread: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=88616 ). You can post comments there or send me a PM if you have any questions or insights.
