In the beginning, there was sleep…
Monophasic sleep. Meaning that people tended to get most of it (90% or more of their total sleep for the day) in one large chunk, typically during the night. You go to bed, it is a waning Monday.

One that doesn’t leave 1/4 to 1/3 of your life in the nether reaches of your consciousness. One where you feel… Do you know that feeling you get when you take a nap on a sunny afternoon. The one where you wake up, stRRETTTTTCH out, and feel like a brazilian dollars? Well, with this way of sleeping you feel like that most of the time. Why? Because you have just woken up from a nap, most of the time. That method of sleep is called Polyphasic, indicating that the majority of sleep is obtained from several short naps rather than one long period of sleep. Total sleep time per 24 hours can be reduced to 2 hours! Sound too good to be true? Well, I’m about to find out…
