I could be as awake as I am right now, every night !

I really should get into polyphasic sleeping ....

What's up with Bangalore's weather this past couple of days ? Hot in the morning, cold in the afternoon-> night .. ?

Pretty much like the Indian cricket team.. no consistency ;)

Saw this interesting post about polyphasic sleep on stevepavlina.com. The idea of sleeping for 30 minutes every 4 hours, which in effect means a total sleep time of 3 hours, seems appealing to me (It is another matter that I am sleeping around 7 hours per day right now, and cannot get to reduce it :( ).

A couple of nice things about this schedule, once a person adapts to it, is :

• More work/activities can be done during the night time, what with the calm and serene environment
• Could talk to US counterparts at their day time, or attend late-in-the night conference calls without any irritations.
• Combined with Pranayama/Meditation and exercise (all of which I should be doing, but am not), this would definitely give better energy levels, once the initial pains associated with this schedule has gone and the system has become a habit.

A lot of people have tried this technique and failed, mainly, it seems, due to the inability to maintain the sleep routine. Read more about it from people who have tried it, here.
