Polyphasic sleep is a method for increasing the amount of time you spend awake during the day. By sleeping only twenty to thirty minutes every four hours you can stay awake longer.

Yeah, very interesting. I heard about this before, but never tried it since you'd really have to plan your sleep - but who knows, maybe someone will find a nice solution :)
Thank you.

Shame there isn't a solution for when you want to stay awake less.

I didn't feel well yesterday evening and went to bed at 1030pm - unusally early for me. Trouble was i woke at 2am and that was that I was awake until about 5am, woke this morning feeling like death ...

Oh well ... maybe tonight will be a good night ...
