On average, a person spends 25 years of life sleeping. This thought haunts some, because they don’t want to waste time in vain, because they have a lot of important or interesting things to do.

Today, some have managed to learn this method, it is called polyphase sleep mode. You will learn about this method from the article.
What is polyphase sleep?
This is a technique when a person refuses a full night's rest. Instead, he falls asleep several times a day for a short time. So he can go on vacation for only two to four hours. It is worth noting that there are no official studies, so everyone decides whether to apply this method of saving time to him or not.
Those people who practice this kind of rest divided polyphase dreams into several performing techniques.
So, there are modes: Siesta, Everyman, Tesla, Uberman, Dymaxion. But a person can draw up his personal schedule or choose for himself from those that already exist. In the second form, polyphase sleep (Everyman technique) is practiced more often than others. In this case, you can sleep 1.5-3 hours in the dark, and during the rest of the time after the same period of time doze for 20 minutes three times.
Where to begin
