Love the insight about the days blending together.

I know there's lots of science supporting what you say about sleep being essential for consolidating memory.

Thanks for the feedback. I can see the argument that polyphasic sleep is anything more than one monophasic block of sleep. In practice though, I'd say most people differentiate between a biphasic schedule and a polyphasic one.

Napping is absolutely sustainable. Trying to reduce total sleep time by sleeping in small bursts throughout the day and night does not appear to be sustainable over long periods.

Agreed it can be effective short term. But you'll feel the effects of sleep deprivation over time and that comes with certain health risks.
