The previous sunday I was drunk and I guess I agreed to cover this guys shift.. by the time he reminded me it was too late and I had to work. I ended up getting about 5 or 6 hours of sleep in 72 hours. When the dinner was finally over I drove some people home, then headed home myself. The hallucinations were mild when other people were in the car, but when I was alone I started to have pretty intense depth of perception hallucinations. Objects would suddenly appear very very close, then very far, then in the middle ground. I cannot be 100% sure, but I believe I fell asleep a few times, or at least had my eyes closed for an extended period of time while driving. Scary shit..

So ya, if you're gonna try this, don't plan on driving during the adjustment period.
I did it for like 3 weeks on multiple occasions. The first time I did it was the month that I played the most poker of my life. It could be really useful for the right person.

The problem is that I genuinely like sleep. With polyphasic sleep, it's as if you never get a real chance to rest. You may not be tired, but you just want a mental break. This led to all of my polyphasic relaps and failures.

oh, and sup
