@Leifweaver:

I remember very well that conversation we had about triphasic some time ago.

After pondering all of the possibilities, I believe that triphasic might be the single most do-able polyphasic schedule out of all of them. 

At one point, I actually began to see Uberman as a hoax. I now believe a few people can succeed at it, but probably do represent some kind of (uncommon) genetic mutation. 

Everyman seems more do-able for the average guy, but why go Everyman when triphasic seems 1) easier and 2) gives almost as much free time anyway and 3)has almost no adaptation time?

The trouble is, triphasic hasn't yet been formalized as a set schedule, like Uberman has, and to a lesser extent Everyman.

Leif, since I see you as the pioneer of Triphasic, do you feel willing to set out a specific adaptation plan for Triphasic? I'd consider myself much obliged, and I think the rest  of the group (and the world) would agree.

 Suggestions for sleep data

leif <leifw...@gmail.com> Jan 17 07:10PM -0800  

I have been doing triphasic sleep for about 9 months, and I have kept
some records, and kept a blog for a while: http://origamikayak.blogspot.com/,
but I have been intending to take a month or so and spend the time to
take rigorous data, with an eye towards getting a paper published on
triphasic sleep.
 
I will be tracking my sleep time, cycles (I have a Zeo), and
wakefulness throughout the day. I am also thinking about tracking my
food intake and weight if people think that this might be
enlightening. My question is this: What ELSE would you like to see
tracked? I would love to be able to track my dopamine, cortisol,
adrenaline, and serotonin levels, if anyone can knows of a way to do
this that is not too expensive.

This blog: http://hypnagogia.squarespace.com/index/ has a lot of great
sleep data on it. He also measures temperature I think which makes a lot of
sense, as well as a few other values. He's monophasic mostly from what I
can remember, but it's got some really great data and experimentation on
it, as well as some great Zeo graphs that might inspire you to make some
similar ones yourself. I believe I found out from him because he was
featured on the Zeo blog. Good luck! Triphasic has ROCKED for me so far. I
love it's ability to switch from monophasic to triphasic easily, it helps
out with keeping a normal college social life.
