This is episode 3 of a 6-part special series on sleep with Dr. Matthew Walker, Ph.D., a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and leading public educator about the role of sleep in health, disease and performance.  We explain how our sleep architecture changes as we age. We also cover how childhood development and aging affect sleep biology and needs. We also discuss whether polyphasic sleep (multiple short sleep periods) is beneficial.  Then, we discuss naps, including their positive benefits, individual variability, those who should not nap, and alternative rest states like non-sleep deep rest. Dr. Walker shares protocols to optimize nap duration, timing and effectiveness. We also explore the effects of caffeine on sleep and other health aspects, as well as the optimal timing for caffeine intake. This episode describes many actionable science-based tools for optimizing sleep, naps and caffeine use for better health and performance. The next episode in this special series explores the relationship between sleep, memory, and creativity.

In this engaging podcast episode, Matt delves into the world of polyphasic sleep – the practice of dividing sleep into multiple short naps throughout the day. The episode starts by exploring the historical origins of polyphasic sleep, from the concept of phases within a 24-hour sleep cycle to the motivations behind adopting unconventional sleep patterns for increased productivity.Matt explains various polyphasic sleep schedules, such as the Uberman, Everyman, and Triphasic schedules, which involve segmented sleep periods interspersed with short naps. While proponents claim benefits like enhanced sleep quality, improved brain function, and better health, Walker breaks down the scientific evidence to reveal a different reality. Multiple studies suggest that polyphasic sleep doesn't offer the promised benefits. Instead, it often leads to disrupted sleep stages, impaired cognitive function, mood decline, and adverse effects on health, including blood sugar and cardiovascular issues.In conclusion, Matt emphasizes the importance of prioritizing traditional, consolidated sleep patterns and warns against the potential pitfalls of attempting to hack the sleep cycle. While individual experiences may vary, the weight of scientific evidence suggests that polyphasic sleep might be more of a sleep-hacking myth than a genuine solution for better health and productivity.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way. The good people at InsideTracker are one of the sponsors of this week's episode, and they are generously offering a special 25% off any one of their programs for anyone who uses the above link during the time window of this episode.

D., Rak, M., Zavecz, Z., Kunath, N., Breitenstein, B., Rasch, B., Zeising, M., Uhr, M., Steiger, A., Dresler, M. Abstract: Voluntary sleep restriction is a common phenomenon in industrialized societies aiming to increase time spent awake and thus productivity. We explored how restricting sleep to a radically polyphasic schedule affects neural, cognitive, and endocrine characteristics. Ten young healthy participants were restricted to one 30-min nap opportunity at the end of every 4 hours (i.e., 6 sleep episodes per 24 hours) without any extended core sleep window, which resulted in a cumulative sleep amount of just 2 hours per day (i.e., ~20 min per bout). All but one participant terminated this schedule during the first three weeks. The remaining participant (a 25-year-old male) succeeded to adhere to a polyphasic schedule for 5 weeks with no apparent impairments in cognitive and psychiatric measures except for psychomotor vigilance. While in-blood cortisol or melatonin release pattern and amounts were unaltered by the polyphasic as compared to monophasic sleep, growth hormone seemed almost entirely abolished ( greater than 95% decrease), with the residual release showing a considerably changed polyphasic secretional pattern. While coarse sleep structure appeared intact during polyphasic sleep, REM sleep showed decreased oscillatory and increased aperiodic EEG activity compared to monophasic sleep. Considering the decreased vigilance, abolished growth hormone release, and neurophysiological changes observed, it is doubtful that radically polyphasic sleep schedules can subserve the different functions of sleep to a sufficient degree.

Perhaps no topic in sleep is more filled with more wild claims and unsubstantiated research than polyphasic sleep. The division of sleep into several distinct periods is not new. The question is, does it hold the key to enhanced health and performance? In this episode, we will:Define polyphasic and monophasic sleepLearn about the sleep of other animals and contrast their typical polyphasic sleep to the monophasic sleep of most humansFollow the history of polyphasic sleep through medieval times up through the Industrial Revolution.Explore specific types of polyphasic sleep including the Uberman Sleep Schedule and that followed by Buckminster FullerUnderstand how sleep cycles work and how increasing fragmentation can interfere with the health benefits of sleepConclude with the scientific recommendation concerning the health risks of polyphasic sleep practicesProduced by: Maeve WinterMore Twitter: @drchriswinter IG: @ drchriwinter The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child Thanks for listening and sleep well!

[include file=get-in-itunes.html] Today we had Sydney Ross Singer on the show to talk about how to improve your sleep based on his book called, Get It Up! (pictured below).This was the 2nd installment of our 2 part series with Sydney Ross Singer about how to improve your sleep. If you want to listen to part 1 of our series with Syd Singer about sleep you can click here. We had an amazingly fun conversation with Syd Singer about an experiement Kate and I are doing with our bed. Syd recommends elevating the head of your bed 6 inches or so, in order to decrease blood pressure in your head. It also affects your thyroid gland (which plays a huge role in our hormone levels) and carotid arteries and brain function. Interestingly enough it also affects you eye health in relation to glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration and more. So raising the foot of your bed is important according to Syd to dramatically improve your health. It's simple enough and takes no extra effort (my kind of thing!) once you spend 10 minutes elevating your bed. I haven't looked at the science myself or any studies I'm just going on intuition and trust here because I think Syd is onto something with this one. Aside from the mechanical and positioning of how we sleep which we covered more in part 1, we also discussed commonly covered topics like how much sleep should you get (his answer might surprise you), and how important it is to get to sleep before midnight. Now that's an interesting subject because I tend to stay up late. I do combat staying up late though by turning off all lights and using candles along with dramatically reducing my exposure to blue light using a computer program called Flux and some blue light sunglasses. This has helped my sleep a lot. If you're interested in the sociological impacts of how blue light is affecting us, listen to the show we did with neurosurgeon Dr. Jack Kruse and you can even look at some webinars Dr. Kruse has put together by clicking here. We also covered topics like Polyphasic Sleep and if that's something viable to look into. A lot of "Bio-Hackers" are doing that these days but I don't think it's sustainable (or healthy for that matter) long term. Although the idea that we could (and/or should) take smaller cat naps throughout the day is very interesting to me and I'm sure is very natural. I just don't think cat naps should take the place of a deep restful REM induced sleep where maximum healing and recovery takes place. We also discussed if it's normal to wake up in the middle of the night and how long it should actually take us to fall asleep. Over 40% of the population these days are having trouble sleeping. I think not sleeping sound enough and deep enough contributes to our stress levels, lowers hormones, inhibits cellular repair and renewal. It's CRITICAL to get the best sleep possible each and every night if you want to live a long and healthy life. So I hope you enjoy this most recent episode with Sydney Ross Singer about sleep. It was an honor to interview him on our show and hope you will share this with your friends if you found it valuable. Thanks guys!

Wouldn't it be great to get all the sleep you need in just 2 hours a day, and be as superman-productive during the other 22?In this episode, I discuss the concept of polyphasic sleep - breaking your total sleep time across several different episodes of sleep. 

There are many ways to schedule your sleep!

This was probably the most challenging episode to make ever. It goes into much detail about an alternate sleeping schedule called Polyphasic sleep. Human sleeping patterns used to be very different when compared to modern times. Did you know the monophasic 8-hour sleeping schedule is actually not natural to us? Well, there's much more interesting things to learn about sleep in this episode.

Anyways, here are the questions covered in this episode: Now that I am out of a cult, how can manage my anxiety and make sure I give my daughter opportunities to socialize? Would a polyphasic sleep schedule help me get enough rest for my shift work? I'm in a good place recently. What can I do to prepare for therapy between sessions? As always you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com and if you are not yet following me on social, get on that. I'm @duffthepsych on everything.

Part 2 of Trav telling Los about his new Polyphasic sleep schedule I’ve been on this schedule for a month, here are some of my insights: Days are long again, like when I was a kid. Days are not really a thing, but you track time by events or phases. I got to work. I come home. I have family time. I have DevTips time. It’s not really night and day anymore. the sun is up sometimes, and it’s not other times. I loose track of the weekday really easily. You are adding to your lifetime. Not piling on years at the back, filled with medications and other issues. I’m living longer than most people today. I feel more connected to the earth, to the rhythms of nature more than the concerns of the humans around me. I feel different than everyone. Like I know something they don’t. Like I can see something beautiful that they just walk by. When my colleagues come into the office in the morning (its morning for them) I’ve been awake for 8 hours and have been making videos and stuff for a long time already. People are really accepting of my new schedule. It’s not really that hard. I take naps at work, which is probably the coolest thing ever. I’ve left meetings to nap. I’ve napped at other peoples offices. It’s not really that weird, and people are very understanding. I get a lot done. A lot. It’s not easy, and I’m not perfect. It’s cold these days and my bed is so warm and comfy. I’ve overslept a few times. Those days are hard, I feel like I’ve let self down, and there goes that days extra time. It’s easier to stay up late than wake up early. But I’m focusing on not throwing in the towel on the larger picture when I make small immediate mistakes.

Polyphasic Sleep What is your most valuable resource? How would your life change if you added 4 to 6 more waking hours to your day? What would you do? hours gained over time 16 hours becomes 20 per day That’s 28 hours a week 336 per year — 42 work days (month and 1/2) I call this new month “Slumbtember”
