I love the exchange about biphasic sleep as if it’s some long lost sleep pattern from the dark ages. Isn’t biphasic sleep just taking a nap in the middle of the day, something many people still do.
There's several ways to do it. Taking a 20 or 90 minute nap mid day is common, it can also mean waking up for a few hours in the night. I'd say usually when people say biphasic they are referring to the later but yes, a nap and a long sleep is also biphasic.
Fair enough. I did know someone that used to follow a polyphasic sleep schedule that would have him up sometimes twice a night.
Yeah, siestas are biphasic. Once again "innovators" have "discovered" something people all over the world were already doing.
bi phasic sleep posed as a preindustrial phenomenon is a bunk but widespread pop history story
regardless, naps fuckin rule
i swear a read an article not too long ago that naps give you dementia and i was like fuck that shit still going to nap
