I was actually just talking about this yesterday!

That schedule I'd read about was the Überman schedule, where you sleep 20-30 minutes six times a day. Definitely a much more extreme form than most polyphasic sleep schedules. :)

I read a series of blog posts about it, probably around the same time as you did, and found them again [1] last night. I didn't actually read through it again, but if anyone's interested in reading more about someone's firsthand experience with it, could be a good classic read.

If I am on vacation or in some other relaxed environment, I will go into a state where I sleep 6 hours at night but also take a siesta or 15-minute to 30-minute nap in the middle of the day.
