They believe every person is actually two people (separated by the left and right hemispheres) and that they can put one of them to sleep, by making only one half of themselves to sleep. So they get comfortable, but keep open one eye, and keep that half of the body stimulated. When the half with the closed eye, which stays relaxed, goes numb, that half is asleep. This way they can separate their two halves or something. Apparently you can actually come out of that thinking you slept, but idk how, it sounds very disorienting and not restful at all.

Holy shit that's even worse - like a guaranteed way to seriously damage mental health.

I'm biphasic, thought the second sleep period is definetly longer than 30 min. Usually I shoot for 1-2 hours.

90 minutes is my sweet spot for sure.

It seems like it's trying to say the later ones give you more time awake but I'm closest to everyman with everything scaled up by like 80%.

It's in the link, go look there!

It's unihemispheric sleep.
