Control your sleep.
Sleep consumes a large area of human life, and without exaggeration, it accounts for a third of human life, and this is a huge amount in fact...
If we assume that someone is 60 years old and sleeps 8 hours a day, this means that he has been absent from the world for 20 years ....
Some people wonder about the secret of the success of the great in their lives, and the issue of regulating sleep is always the secret key to success
In our modern age, many greats and inventors have adopted different methods to control sleep
Winston Churchill
One of the most prominent figures in World War II
He slept 5 hours a day
Thomas Edison
famous inventor
He slept less than 5 hours a day
Sir Isaac Newton
discoverer of the law of gravitation
He slept less than 4 hours a day
Napoleon Bonaparte
Emperor of France
He only slept 4 hours a day
Benjamin Franklin
famous industrial
He was famous for his word (There will be sleeping enough in the grave). You will sleep enough for you in the grave!!
He only slept 3 hours a day
Thomas Jefferson
One of the founders of the United States slept only two hours a day.
These facts show that controlling sleep will not only extend your life, but also make your life full of achievements.
The first problem is that most people only think of one way to sleep: go to sleep at night for 6-8 hours, get up in the morning, stay awake for 16-18 hours and then repeat. In fact, this is called a monophasic sleep cycle, which is only one of five major sleep cycles that have been used successfully throughout history.
The other four cycles are considered polyphasic due to the number of multiple naps each day. How is this possible? How is this healthy? Good The most important stage of each sleep cycle is the 4th REM (rapid eye movement fourth) stage of sleep, which has been shown to provide more benefits to the brain than all other stages of sleep.
When you change the way you sleep to a polyphasic cycle, the lack of sleep causes the body to fall asleep immediately instead of the 45 to 75 minute wait as in monophasic sleep. This way, it is still possible to get the benefits of 8 hours of sleep without wasting all the time it takes for normal sleep to reach REM4 cycles, resulting in a more efficient and shorter sleep cycle.
Here are the types of polyphasic sleep cycles:-
UPERMAN CYCLE
20-30 minute naps every 4 hours, which means 6 naps per day. The Uberman cycle is highly efficient, and usually results in a healthy feeling, a feeling of freshness upon awakening, and an increased ability to daydream. A number of uberman users have confirmed an increased ability to dream as well. However, the cycle schedule is so strict that it is almost impossible to miss a nap without feeling tired and exhausted.
EVERYMAN CYCLE
In this cycle, a basic sleep is used, which is supported by small naps of 20 to 30 minutes. The most successful types I've read about are either a 3 hour sleep supplemented with 3 20 minute naps or a 1.5 hour sleep with 20 minute nap 4-5 times, and there should be equal times in between each nap.
This cycle is much easier to adapt than the Uberman cycle and allows for more flexibility in sleeping and napping times with the ability to skip when necessary. It is also still very effective compared to monophasic with only 3-4 hours of sleep per day.
DYMAXION CYCLE
Bucky Fuller invented this cycle based on his belief that we have two energy tanks, the first being easy to replenish while the second is much more difficult to replenish. Fuller started sleeping for 30 minutes every 6 hours. Which means two hours of sleep a day only!
He said, "I felt so energized, I had more fun than ever." Doctors examined him after several years of using this course and declared him to be in excellent health.
BIPHASIC CYCLE
This cycle is known to most people and consists of 4-5 hours of sleep at night and 1.5 hours of naps in the afternoon which is not effective but is better than the usual mono cycle.
The question now...
Which of these courses suits your needs?
This totally depends on your lifestyle. Keep in mind that if you decide to switch to Dymaxion or Uberman cycles, you will experience a phase of exhaustion from Day 3 to Day 10 until your body accommodates the cycle.
Here are some tips:
1- Eat healthy, avoid fatty foods and adjust will be much easier.
2. Make sure you have a project to work on during all your new waking hours, it makes time pass quickly.
3-Also make sure that you have two or three weeks of freedom to adjust to the course so that you do not go to work or school and you do not absorb the course anymore.
4- Stick to the system and it will become very easy after two weeks from the beginning, and you have to be patient and persevere, and do not change the sleep schedule, otherwise the system will not succeed.
5- Using natural cues to wake up from a nap, such as sunlight and loud ringing, while using darkness and silence to sleep (so that the body believes what is happening)
6- Avoid coffee, especially Nescafe, because it will cover the process and its effect lasts for hours and may cause naps to fail later.
