Some of the greatest athletes athletes in the world have altered their way of sleeping in order to get greater recovery as well as enhance their performance when competing. They have abandoned the traditional way sleeping in one big chunk at night and instead divided it to more than once, and there are some pretty interesting reasons as to why. So in this video I’ll explain polyphasic sleeping and how it can benefit you.
So polyphasic sleep is in the simplest terms sleeping in more than one phase opposed to monophasic sleep, which is what most people do - sleep in one big phase at night. And sleeping more than once a day might seem to be a weird new idea but in fact polyphasic sleep is as old as it gets and many animals do it naturally as well as humans, at least at first. Newborn babies are generally polyphasic before being trained to sleep all in one at night.
But one person who brought the concept of polyphasic sleeping into the world of sport was Nick Littlehales as he was convinced it would improve and optimize athletes performances and ability to recover from their intense and tight schedules. He claims that eight hours of continuous sleep isn't suited to many people as it creates unnatural rhythms and leaves workers at their most tired between 1 and 3 pm during the day. Nick suggests to listen to the body’s internal clock and break the sleep up into two or more phases rather than one big one.

In my country our culture encourages biphasic sleep. In fact my company highly recommends us employees taking a nap during lunch break. I’ve tried not having naps during the whole daytime and my brain just felt numb after about 3 p.m.

[@niuren]

great info，very interesting stuff. Thank you Adam!

[@Luca-wk6rm]

Brilliant video, thanks for the work you put in!

[@lincolnscott1877]

Thank you so much for this interesting education! Have a blessed day ☀️

[@themagescorner]

Interesting but hard to implement. I can’t really zone out at work, after work there is night classes or gym. When I do have space to take a prolonged lunch at home (I live close to work) that could mean eating in 10 mins which leaves theoretically a 50 min rest. But that’s not everyday, and this is why companies place coffee machines on every floor, so you can be an efficient robot even during 2-3 pm.

[@impactful9784]

Very interesting, worth experimenting with! Thanks for the video :)

[@jerrydesu]

Siesta's are normal and healthy ~ but hard to change cultural and social norms.

[@yeawhatever3622]

Back here in India its totally normal 😅

[@looksschoolofficial]

Might try this out, feels like i cant be productive after 2-3 PM anyway...

[@tempesttking5715]

Same! 😫 Even with lots of coffee I still feel sluggish...so I'm here looking for another solution.

In India too, we mostly sleep after eating. That actually gives a better sleep.

Is good but maybe is cause too much glucose and insUline resistance?

[@mcfleury]

Nick's book "Sleep" is amazing, highly recommend

[@snubdawg1386]

does he go into it exactly how you should time your training and eating if you have like 3 sleeping cycles? after sleeping i like to be active before i eat a big meal....but after a big meal you should wait before going to sleep...so i don't get it how to time that

[@mcfleury]

@@snubdawg1386 ya I think so, I dunno it’s been years since I read it but that sounds about right

[@mohamedorayith4626]

Help! So, when sleeping during the day i.e. 2-3 PM, are we meant to sleep for no more than 30 minutes or or are we meant to sleep for the whole 1/5 hours?

[@davidbarenyi4895]

Nobody understand me in my work when i sleep above blast furnace

[@depaola63]

I am now 55 and have been sleeping like this since I was 22, " broken sleep " as many say ...from my " day job" was 6am-2pm... and my night gig as an entertainer....( since 1985) ..I would sleep from 11pm-4am ..then after working , I would take may 2 hr. nap from 3:30pm-5:30pm...gig done at 12mid 3x a week....it worked for me ! I get my sleep and feel GREAT ! Also as my late Great-Nana who lived to be 99 always said " sleep is #1 !! ) as well as George Burns said he slept this was most of his later years ( He lived to be 100 and was always sharp !

I'd also sleep 5 times a day if i wouldn't pay my taxes.

does nick litthales book explain exactly how you should time your training and eating if you have like 3 sleeping cycles? after sleeping i like to be active before i eat a big meal and get some rest....but after a big meal you should wait before going to sleep...so i don't get it how to time that ....also just sleeping on one side makes no sense in my experience because i got shoulder obliquity from this after years....best but also "hardest" position to achieve is to sleep on your back in my experience

Sleep when you are tired and dont force yourself to wake up

[@Medinalegend]

He sleep 8 h ✌️👊

[@1992RDC]

Does this mean if hè sleeps for 3 cycles, he sets an alarm every 90 minutes or hè just sets an alarm after 270 minutes?

[@milad8091]

Of course after 270min because sleeps must not be interrupted. For a example : if you slept 2 cycle and a half of cycle u will wake up more tired than sleeping just two full Cycles (which is less time BTW)

[@unleashingpotential-psycho9433]

Interesting he sleeps so much 🔥

[@Primedlifestyle]

Still the same amount of time, just divided differently

[@1337rhuN]

idk if anyone still watching this video but id like to say some few words to it. I have unintentionally developd some kind of this sleep, i got diagnosted with psycosomatic disorder almost 6 years ago since my life changed from one night to the other when i had like a panic attack which caused a later on psychosis. So from then on you can say i was afraid to go to sleep and loosing my mind and the control over my body for a long time like 7-8 so i split up the day into 2 parts where i was awake for 8 hours, which where my work and my morning, mostly 9 hours til i could get sleep, then il got sleep for 3-4hours depending on energylevel after i woke up i had like the second part of the day which included meeting friends, social life, watching a movie or working ahead for my studies. So after 3 years of doing this sleep i had many different points where i was thinking like scared if i harm my body or whatever since people which are awake for 17+ hours and sleep for 8+ straight where trying to tell me that its even bad to wake up once in a night. So i wasnt sure at all but afraid that the only possible sleeping schedule without fear attacks for me is bad in general caused that i never looked it up and see if its good or not, over the years i felt very good in all parts of my life and thought every time this cant be bad you have added up in total the same amount of sleep like a "normal" person without beeing awake in one period.- Now after years of illness development i felt able to see if my sleeping is bad or nah and ending up watching this video seeing that its actual a good and healthy thing gives me so much power and chills me out not tryng to force a change in it coz somebody told me its bad even they didnt knew what they were talking about at all.. thanks for this content mate it helped me alot

[@ama-tu-an-ki]

This completely skips over the sleep Architecture. If you don't get deep sleep, recovery is seriously hampered and no amount of cycles will compensate for that.

[@views-hf4dp]

Don't do everything what doctors say. They say ,,Eat small 5-6 foods a day is great idea" but its the worst idea. Your stomach can not has a rest. The best idea is 1-2 foods a day in the same time as everyday, like 11:00 first meal, and next food at 17:30. DONT EAT IN 19:00 YOUR LAST MEAL.

Not all of is can afford to sleep so many times during the day...we have stuff to do...dammit!!

[@theumpteenthtime8854]

If you get half to a full hour for lunch you can fit in a good 15-20 mins depending on social obligations and how fast you eat and another 30 mins after you arrive home. This can knock an hour off your night sleep and keep you fresh throughout the day without getting bogged down and wasting the time you're awake.

[@stanmarr4488]

Do you know how long it takes to fall asleep?...what are you?..a computer screen that you can set to "sleep after 10 seconds"??????...for NORMAL human beings, it takes about 20 to 30 mind to fall asleep....you must be special....dammit now!!!!!!
