Have you started reading what happens with sleep deprivation and comparing it to what you're experiencing? If what you're doing is working, you shouldn't be suffering effects from the sleep deprivation, right?
You have to understand sleep for this.
You normally sleep in 90 minute cylces, with the ending being REM sleep. REM sleep is basically the part of sleep that lets your body recover, it's the important part. As you can see sleeping for only 20-30 minutes you don't get REM sleep. This is why this is so hard. After an extended period of conditioning, the body starts to go into REM imediately when you go to sleep, so when you wake up after 20 minutes it as if you were sleeping for over an hour. Once you are adapted is when you start getting the benifits, but you have to be strick with your sleeping.
