It is possible to adapt to a sleep schedule of six 20 minute naps spread over the course of 24 hours. This is just as effective if not more so than a solid 8 hour block. The only problem is that you have to stick with it very closely because if you miss a nap, you'll feel extremely tired.

If you don't believe me, look up info about it. I've also tried and tested this method out when I didn't have a job. It's well worth it, though, for the fact that you get 22 hours a day of being awake.

This is true. It is called the 'Uberman'

There's some story about a drug called modafinil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modafinil that you can use for staying awake. The story begins at 11:45 in the second part of that documentary (see below).

I assume you have documented evidence of this and are not just pulling shit out of your ass?

No

Have you tried this? Do you understand how the human body regulates sleep?

As I've said already, I ran my own study on this subject. I know what I'm talking about. If you're not going to provide evidence to the contrary, then kindly fuck off.

>modafinil
is no more effective than dexedrine

You can't cheat sleep, retarded sleep cycles don't work at at, stimulants with allow you to stay alert for 24-48hrs but you'll still have to make-up the sleep that you missed.

Please provide studies showing cognitive performance and reaction times consistent with normal sleep patterns. Oh, you don't have any studies, you're basing your position on a week long personal trial where you kinda-sorta-almost felt O.K. Mmmm, how peculiar.

Hey OP I have that problem to. I decided to get of teh internets two hours ago.

You still haven't provided anything claiming your theory. I'm not aware of any studies done on this, which is why I did it myself. Yes, it's anecdotal evidence, but I don't have to show you anything when you can simply try it yourself.

Also: assumptions and ad hominems, try harder

Science, how does it work?
