I do rather live in fear of having to be monophasic, now...I guess that's a downside to polyphasic sleep that isn't mentioned clearly very often: You might get addicted! You’re welcome, Joseph!

I did uberman for 2 months and experienced difficulties getting back into monophasic sleeping, primarily due to extreme fatigue and headaches etc that were no occuring while I was napping. Not too long ago I adopted the Tesla pattern and adapted sucessfully for a month but had to discontinue due to inflexibility and once again I was plagued by many issues getting back to an 8hr block of sleep. I am sleeping monophasically now and said issues have died down but the first 3 weeks or so after retiring from polyphasic is quite hellish for me atleast. Thanks for sharing as always PD. :P Interesting to see others that have had considerable trouble transitioning back into a monophasic shedule.

I'd really like to hear about your experience of re-adapting, especially with being a master and all. If you have trouble, maybe I won't feel so bad about The Adaptation That Never Ends. ;) Haha, great to see that even masters of polyphasic sleep have the same kind of trouble that I have.

Usually when a polyphasic sleeper goes back to monophasic you never hear from them again so it's great to hear the comparison. And I too would love a peak at the BFTDL.

Sadly I missed the first weekend of classes and things are starting to pick up, so I am not sure that I could sneak into a sleep pattern. I am notorious for sleeping through my alarms and then letting my subconscious wake me up about 15 minutes before classes. Mako My god, you have summed up the way I feel.
