Sleep at 10-11
Wake at 6-7

>>2574662
Sleep at 0300-0400 then Wake at 0700
Sleep at 0830 then wake at 1000
Sleep at 1700 then wake at 1830
Total = 6-7 hrs

Been rocking the polyphasic sleep for 6 years. I think I'm ok?

6.
if you feel tired after this still, submerge your face in ice cold water when you wake up.

i'm not joking either, fucking do it.

>>2574785
I slap myself sometimes. That works too.

>>2574702
Stop using silly numbers to tell the time. There aren't 2400 hours in a day IDIOT

>>2574662
16h/ day or you won't make it

>>2574662
3-8 hrs. I get up at different hours.

>>2574806
Maybe you prefer animu schedule?
Wake at 7:00
Sleep at 8:30 wake at 10:00
Sleep at 17:00 wake at 18:30
Sleep at 28:00

I aim for 8 hours. In reality I tend to get 6-7 on work days and 9-10 on weekends.

>>2574662
sleep 8 hours
Perhaps 4 + 4

>>2574812
that's a lot of time to sleep

>>2574662
Aim for 8, realistically get 7-7½ on work days and 8-9 on weekends. If I go below 7 it seriously affects the next day. Some people can deal with 6 hours fine (Mostly late teens), most people stop being edgy about "sleep is for the weak!" much past that, I've found.

>>2574662
about 12-15 hours, sometimes i wake up with headache or back pain because of this tho

>>2574924
i hope this is bait.
i always tend to 8. is the perfect time to get body fully charged. maybe i get less time to draw, but my workflow will always stay successfull from 8 to 24

>>2574662
>I feel like 6 hours isn't enough

So get more. Glad I could be of help.

10 p.m. to 6 a.m. every single day

>>2574662
Im trying to go polyphasic. Uberman sleep schedule would allow me to split my time into 4 hour segments, which would be a nice way to structure my productive time while getting 5-6 more hours a day to do whatever I want.

I guess all you polyphasic edgelords dont have any intention of getting a studio job?

>>2575270
Unless your life is structured into 4hr chunks it is hard to maintain the schedule consistently. Without consistency the schedule will only work for a few days, then you crash.

I'm >>2574702. I only managed to keep my schedule because I've been commuting to work for 6 yrs, and the bus schedule never changes.

>getting a studio job?
I don't think it will pay as well as my current job, which is why I have he polyphasic sleep to begin with...

>>2574662
14, i am narcoleptic

>>2575288
More info pls

This can work if you supplement it with a strong self-hypnosis regimen. This will allow your limbic system to adjust better, and you'll be able to move the sleep phases around a little (+- 30 minutes).

Interestingly, from talking to people who have attempted polyphasic, they also found intense, vivid daydreaming to be much easier to achieve, thus boosting creativity.

>>2575344
This is all getting a little too burning man.

>>2574662
10-12 hours a day.

12pm-6am five days a week and on the weekends I usually sleep from 12pm-1pm

erratic at best

Take some Vitamin D supplements. Most people this days luck Vitamin D but especially shut ins are really deprived of it.

>>2575315
More info about what?

>>2575606
The type of work you do, why it earns so well and how the polyphasic sleeping fits in.

>>2575628
I posted info in some other threads >>2574802 I'm just a vanilla software engineer, the pay is industry standard. There is nothing special about me.

We talked about sleep schedules and life styles here >>2566683

>>2575670
Lol yes I remember that stuff, thanks for clearing that up anon. I actually studied for the job you have but personally would rather do art in a studio so atm I'm so poor im practically wearing rags...

>>2574702
Isn't the point of polyphasic sleep the reduction of how many hours of sleep you need per day? If you're still needing 6-7 you might as well sleep normally. And unless you can drop and rise almost instantly, the time it takes to do that several times a day probably outweighs the time you save on sleeping anyway.

>>2575490
I think you mean 12am

>>2575756
This. You're supposed to sleep about 2 hours a day in polyphasic.

>>2575764
I have always used polyphasic to mean multiple sessions of sleep and not the uberman schedule.

>>2575756
I sleep and wake quickly. Having multiple sleep phases is more psychological than physical. I spend my 8 hrs at work doing bullshit, then I come home fresh from my nap with a full 8 hrs to myself. It feels like I am living 2 days in 1 day, and every other 'pseudo' day feels like a weekend.

Most of my peers are too tired after work, and only have 4-5 hrs for themselves, which prevents them from adopting more involved hobbies - just watching tv and eating out. With 8 full hours I can have a contiguous session drawing, building models, and working on fun projects.

>>2575684
I'm facing a 1/3 life crisis right now. I can't decide if I'd rather get paid to do nothing, or do something and not get paid. I'd like to art, but it just seems so stressful to decouple your self worth from your success. It's painfully obvious at work that I'm worthless, but I'm not personally attached to my work.

>>2575858
I'll tell you one thing friend that when you get really serious about art and start putting yourself out there some shit that you shoved to the back of your mind will come up. There's a reason why so much of ic has mental health issues.

But to me that shit is a bonus to doing art: you have to face all your shitty insecurities and overcome them. Once you do that you'll start feeling pretty ace.

Right now even though im poor af (pic related) I feel like I'm really doing what I want and hell i can even see progress, there's is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Sleep patterns are annoying because they are very individual and you can't do jack shit about it. I'm going to naturally wake up around 7-8, no matter how late I go to sleep. I can sleep twelve hours if I go to sleep at 8pm, I'll sleep 4 if I go to sleep at 3 am.
I think I need around 9 to be on point, but since that means going to sleep at 10pm and I never make it, I am running on chronic fatigue.

I actually have to hurt myself in the afternoon some days to not fall asleep at my desk job.

Goodness... I hope that isn't your dinner...
