I had a roommate as an undergrad that slept from ~4-8 am/pm

He would nap from about 4-8 pm, then do school work. Then he would sleep again from 4-8 am, and go to class after he got up.

Of course in order to "keep" to that schedule, he had to drink for a couple of hours in order to be able to fall asleep by ~4:00. I'm not sure it was very productive.

(he went to Stanford for grad school, and made a good chuck of money in finance).

Anyone ever try the polyphasic sleep schedules? -- psychobilly 12/19/2017 12:50PM

I think that's sort of what I do when I drive more than 8 hours. -- TechMomof2 12/20/2017 12:08AM

Interesting article and I haven't slept well since Quaaludes were gone :) ** -- grill to chill 12/19/2017 1:52PM

I've read about that, and seem to have a habit myself -- `lag 12/19/2017 1:39PM

I find myself in that same pattern. Asleep by 10, up at 2:30-4 -- HokieinTampa 12/19/2017 2:00PM

Yep, that's pretty much me, too. But I wake up exhausted. ** -- MP4VT2004 12/19/2017 2:12PM

Yeah, thankfully I'm ok, but I WFH and there's almost ALWAYS a nap @ lunch ** -- HokieinTampa 12/19/2017 3:28PM

I often sleep like that. -- EDGEMAN 12/19/2017 2:49PM

Sounds like it worked for him. ** -- EDGEMAN 12/19/2017 2:50PM

Not intentionally, but I seem to have recently slipped into that routine. -- MP4VT2004 12/19/2017 1:37PM

Supposedly before electricity everyone on the farm -- Tombo 12/19/2017 1:36PM

I nap for 3 hours in the late afternoon, then sleep 5 1/2 hours overnight -- darnellm 12/19/2017 1:25PM

I just drink till I pass out. It's working out wonderfully. ** -- HokieGator 12/19/2017 1:23PM

Didn't Kramer do that? ** -- 48zip 12/19/2017 1:21PM

Good luck trying to a girlfriend or wife into that ** -- HokieDan95 12/19/2017 1:01PM

True. But, the same thing could probably be said re: most things men like. ** -- MP4VT2004 12/19/2017 2:01PM
