Sometimes I like a longer nap myself, usually if I'm feeling run-down or didn't sleep well for a nap somewhere. My longer nap, if I take one, is usually 1.5 hours, though. I put the two monophasic options in because whenever I ask if people are monophasic, I get a lot of answers like "Yes, but it sucks" or "yes, but I never actually get enough sleep!". ...For many years, that would have been my answer too. And I think it's important to realize that not everyone sleeping a so-called eight hour night is happy with it, or getting enough rest on that schedule. Yes? Thanks! PD Hi Nick,

Pre work is always 20 minutes, afternoon one is up to 1 hour, or 20 minutes if I'm busy. Started with 3+3 everyman for about 2 months and 'progressed' onto 5-6 months on the variation above. Your option for problematic/ successful monophasic sleep is interesting. Can I ask why you put it in?

That's a schedule I have arrived at naturally and although I initially feel better when I occasionally use less core sleep, I have never managed to establish less core time on a regular basis because I start to feel overwhelmed after 2 or 3 days and I don't seem to believe I can actually adjust by hanging on through the sleep dep...
