Can we create different perspectives for sleep?

Sleep is one of the most important concepts of the life cycle.

Quality sleep is very important for our physiological and psychological health. So are we really sleeping healthy? Or can we sleep more efficiently with less sleep?

e.g

Leonardo Da Vinci, one of the greatest geniuses of all time, not only of the Renaissance, He slept 15 minutes for every 4 hours. Thus, he spent the day sleeping only 1.5 hours in total during the day.

Dymaxion Method: The sleep of the mutated people!  30 min sleep every 6 hours.This method is considered one of the most difficult sleep methods. Some people feel extremely vigorous and productive with this single-phase sleep that lasts 4 hours at most. People who can be productive with this amazing sleep are actually different from "ordinary sleepers" People with this mutated gene called DEC2 can be very vigorous and healthy with very short sleep times due to this gene.These lucky people correspond to only 1% of the population!

Uberman (Uberman) Method: 20 minutes of sleep every 4 hours. With this method, you can complete the day with 2 hours of sleep!

Tesla Method: 2 hours night sleep and 20 minutes noon sleep once in the middle of the day. Nikola Tesla, another prominent genius who has written his name in history, was having his day with approximately 2.5 hours of sleep!

Simple citizen (Everyman) Method: 1.5 - 3 hours during the night, 20 minutes 3 times a day.

Siesta: 5 hours night sleep, 1.5 hours noon sleep. This sleep pattern, which is seen mainly in Spain, Mediterranean and Latin American countries, is much easier than others. 6.5 hours of sleep can be quite sufficient.

 

...These are the types of sleep seen in the past and today, which I mentioned above. these applications vary from person to person.

then let me talk about my siesta method experience which i think is the most suitable for me.

I will talk about my one-week siesta experience for you;

I went to bed every day at 10.00 pm and woke up at 03.00 am.

I was asleep between 01.30-03.00 pm by setting an alarm at noon. I slept 6.5 hours in total in one day.

it was very difficult for me to sleep early in the early days and It was very difficult for me to wake up before the sunrise. I thought that this did not comply with human physiology, but in the following days I realized that the time between 03.00-09.00 am was very productive and at the same time, lunch sleep made me more vigorous during the day. Practicing multiple sleep habits, such as tesla and leonardo da vinci, can be a bit difficult and may require you to live a lonely life but I think siesta is a method that everyone can try at least once. And certainly, when we look at the total, there is a decrease in the part we devote from life to sleep.would i recommend? Yes. at least you should try. Moreover, there is a phone application to help you.

what about other methods? I will also briefly talk about the polyphasic sleep experience I found on the internet.

Polyphasic sleep: 4.5 hours and allows you to sleep twice during the day for 20 minutes.

The views of someone who tried polyphasic sleep were as follows;

I have a few concerns about my health. I decided to consult Alon Avidan.

He said that this is a bad decision, most people need at least 7 hours of sleep a day. The first and second days were especially difficult for me. At the end of the second day, I could not even exercise my normal functions.

Dr. Avidan had warned me of short-term side effects. These include slow response time, memory problems, perception problems, decreased creativity and increased irritability.

By the 5th day, things started to get a little strange.

I was absolutely unable to focus and a constant giggle disease began.

At the end of the 7th day, I could not stand and collapsed, I had to sleep.

Generally, can I recommend this experience? No way. It may be a suitable method for people who can genetically endure insomnia.

But for the rest, 7-8 hours is absolutely necessary.

 

The decision is yours. Is the way you know best? Or is it worth trying?
