It doesn’t take too long to find the links and read about them, maybe 30-60 minutes, I skimmed the scientific PDF’s.

Although I looked for polyphasic at first it mentioned reduced sleep. I’ve been sleeping for 5 hours a day for the last 4 months so I have some catching up to do.I’ve noticed I have a lot of the sleep-deprivation symptoms, though of course there could be other contributing factors.

Mainly though I just wanted to bring attention to how dangerous this piece of advise is so that it would be fixed, TextFugu is great and I especially love all the little bits of motivational help centered on this being for self-learners but if anyone followed through with this long-term then it would be really detrimental to how well they could study, which is the opposite of TextFugu’s intent.

Pantome, about finding time… generally even when I sleep less I I don’t do anything productive in the hours I ‘gained’, perhaps it would be better to go to bed early and wake up early so you have a continuous block of time to work and relax (I believe TextFugu mentions the Pomodoro technique somewhere, though I find I need longer breaks) while still having slept a good amount of time.
