It has been very long since I last posted something here. Well... I did think of something to write but I felt that it is a sensitive topic so I decided not to risk it. As the title suggests, I am going to write about "Sleep" today.
Some people may wonder why write about sleep or what is there to talk about sleep. Basically, I chanced upon an article a few weeks back about how to reduce the amount of sleeping time.
As many people know, sleep is very important and there are reports explaining the reasons such as mood, learning, memory and weight etc. Have you realised that as you grow older, the number of hours you sleep actually decrease? I guess the main reason is due to the increasing activities and commitments we have.
A normal human usually requires 7-8 hours of sleep to be fresh the next day. However, some of us just cannot afford it. The article I read actually wrote about polyphasic sleep patterns which means sleeping multiple times in a day. Basically, if we practise monophrasic sleep pattern, we would require about 8 hours of sleep. However, if you practise uberman sleep pattern (a type of polyphasic sleep patterns), you would only need to sleep for 2 hours!
So how does the uberman work? Basically, you need to stick to a strict sleeping pattern whereby you take 6 20-minutes nap in a day. That means you sleep every 4 hours. Of course, the con is that if you miss one of your naps, you will be sleep-deprived and you will need to take hours of sleep to recover from the negative effect. Moreover, prolonged practice may result in a weakened immune system.
Before I end, I would like to kindly caution people that try to adopt the polyphasic sleep patterns to use them at your own risk. Ok sleep well guys and have a nice dream!
