auuuuugghhhh!
SO needed that nap. After an emotional 36 hrs of work and 3 hours of sleep, I've since sympathized with my Bro @Chig_ex21 and found a new respect for Einstein and DaVinci.

"Polyphasic sleep. Basically every four hours, you sleep for 15 minutes or some variation on that. You can bring your sleep down to 2 hours a day or 22 waking hours.
Polyphasic is *just* REM. Your head hits the pillow, you get 20 minutes of REM, you're good to go for another 4 hours. This basically means you have to eat really healthy and get a full day's/week's rest every couple months or so.
Leonardo Da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Buckminster Fuller used this *exact* technique. Other great minds likewise used polyphasic sleep less extremely to their advantage including Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Napoleon, and Winston Churchhill.
Naps are the key to direct Theta brainwave access.
Theta brainwaves are the brainwaves of the Ultra Genius. The more theta you have during your waking hours, the more creatively intelligent you are--it's really that simple.
The book determined that polyphasic sleep works, but when prolonged past two months, showed negative health effects on some. He wrote that, "you can go up to a year on the system." The qualitative description of those who succeed in acclimating to the sleep schedule describe themselves as feeling more energetic than they can remember.
Race Boat people use this technique to race perpetually. Astronauts use this technique during insoluable crises. Military men, especially marines, also use this technique in training.
As far as longevity, Fuller lived to 102. DaVinci into his 80's. --Both lived over DOUBLE the average life expectancy of the men of their time.
States that I may outlive some of life's expectancies by a miles reach, but what about those months that drain the energy fromyour spine and leaning back is healthier than revving up?
When my body and mind have answered too many requests I have options to avoid emotional fatigue.
