Polyphasic sleep is often associated with the genius artist and inventor of the Middle Ages, Leonardo da Vinci. He needed time to implement numerous ideas, which was always sorely lacking. Being a resourceful man, Leonardo da Vinci decided to find new reserves of time in daily sleep.
He broke the usual night rest into several parts, making it polyphasic. Now he slept for fifteen minutes every four hours. Years of practice and experimentation by the followers of the great genius made it possible to single out several of the most "working" polyphasic sleep techniques:
- sleep every 6 hours for 30 minutes (dymaxion mode);
- sleep every 4 hours for 20 minutes (uberman mode);
- sleep at night for 1.5-3 hours and then 3 times during the day for 20 minutes (everyman mode);
- sleep at night for 2 hours and then 20 minutes in the middle of the day (tesla mode);
- sleep at night for 5 hours and then 1.5 hours in one fell swoop during the day (siesta mode).
And it works!
