Effects of polyphasic sleep on long term memory

[zade]

I've already posted the blog post by muflax
http://muflax.com/2009/10/15/eating-my-own-shit
in another tread
http://groups.google.com/group/polyphasic/browse_thread/thread/25f9197236bb693c

I did not put any comments last time but I should have mentioned that
the blogger has not fully adapted to the Everyman's sleep schedule
that she was trying. Yet I think that effects of polyphasic sleep on
long term memory is something that should be considered and memorizing
technique mentioned in her blog is actually a nice way to measure it.

muflax also recently replied to Ian Turner with a protocol that can be
used in an experiment, which can be seen in the comments section in
the bottom of the blog.

The only thing that I would add is that memorizing is also a skill
that can be improved by using it. That is why I think it is better to
get used to it well before the experiment. Because if someone starts
memorizing during experiment he/she might get better in it through
experiment just because he/she got used to it.

The trouble, Zade, is that the blogger simly isn't right. I am going to post proof by no less an authority than Dr. Claudio Stempi (the paterfamilia of polyphasic sleep), and I'll do so as soon as I figure out how.

 

As I said before, memory function actually improved for Dr. Stempi's subject after about 21 days of adaption, although one other mental acuity index fell slightly.
