I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. I think it has worked out really great. I’m not on it right now because my wife and I are in a physical training program where we really need our sleep, so I’m kinda afraid of trying it again for now.

However, 4 naps REALLY worked well for me. The only thing I really felt didn’t work so well was taking the nap after 10pm and before dawn. That’s normal sleep time, so it really worked having the Sleeptracker watch to wake me up when I needed it.

Hey, I was wondering if you ever went through with this and how it worked out for you? I like this schedule the best since I would have 4 naps instead of 6 with uberman.. how did this turn out 4 u?

Hi Mike and thanks for commenting. This watch is really great for polyphasic sleepers because it allows you to set the length of your nap with no problem. Let's say you don't want to nap more than 25 minutes and in 25 minutes it will be 3:25 pm. Just set the watch for 3:25 pm with a window of 15 minutes to wake you (which gives you 10 minutes to becauseour doze off and flop around if you like). When your body is ready to wake, your arms will move more and the watch will go off. If you didn't get enough sleep and your arms aren't moving, the watch will wake you at 3:25 pm anyway. You can't lose. It's like letting nature wake you up (your arm makes the watch alarm go off) or science waking you up (the alarm makes you wake up since your arm didn't). The watch is far from useless because my wife wears it most of the time unless I need it for a nap. She loves it. She wakes up early to get on the phone to do interpreting and she needs to be alert when she gets up because groggy means poor quality work and she gets 911 calls sometimes. She loves it. I love it because it works with my own body's sleep rhythm. It's fantastic. Even if I weren't interested in polyphasic sleep, it would be a worthwhile investment simply because of how alert and rested I feel...but that could also be the polyphasic sleep, too, but my wife isn't a polyphasic sleeper so I will take her word for it.

Greetings! Thanks for sharing your experiences on here. Sounds like this watch could really be great for polyphasic sleepers. I just had a quick question I was hoping you could answer: does the sleeptracker watch work for shorter naps in the 20–25 minute range? I’d prefer to try the uberman schedule instead of the dymaxion, but I’m concerned that the watch wouldn’t work for such a short interval naps (and spending $150+ on a “useless” watch doesn’t appeal to me). Thanks for any info you can provide, and good luck with your sleep!

Well, they say it’s not the easiest, but I think it’s doable. My only problem has been having to deal with colds that don’t want to seem to go away and also getting enough sleep. I don’t think that I yet dare to use polyphasic sleep to get enough sleep to recover. The other parts about it aren’t so bad. I just try and nap when it doesn’t interfere.

For example, my latest schedule is 10/4/10/4 so that means that I go to bed at a normal time, nap when I normally sleep, nap in the late morning and nap in the late afternoon. That’s not too disruptive. My social life (what there is of it) doesn’t interfere.

Hello! I have been attempting to adjust to a dymaxion sleep schedule since mid-December, and it’s been an extremely difficult process, especially with the holidays. Not to mention, it’s difficult for people to understand why I’m trying it. If I tell anyone about it, I typically receive disapproving looks, so, I give you a lot of credit for attempting a polyphasic sleep schedule. I’ll be keeping track of your progress.

Good luck!
