There are very few ~~researches~~ on ~~complex polyphasic~~ schedules~~, most of which weren't long term and are not popular either~~, so it's often ~~stated by mainstream science~~ that uninterrupted long sleep at night, ~~probably supplied~~ with a short daytime nap, is the ~~most healthy~~ schedule<ref name="Walker1989" />. In fact, monophasic sleep became popular quite recently, and [[non-reducing]] sleep [[Segmented\|segmentation]] was widespread in pre-industrial era<ref name="pmid18680884" /> when electricity and artificial illumination weren't introduced yet. Several modern studies confirmed human's natural inclination to sleep segmentation in shorter photoperiods<ref name="pmid10607034" /><ref name="bbc2012" />. Therefore, splitting sleep without reduction is a safe for health sleep pattern and should fit underage, as light sleep isn't reduced. Nonetheless, parents often interrupt all the attempts which include staying awake during the night hours due to ignorance.		Uncooperative parents can interfere with your adaptation to a schedule in many different ways, including but not limited to:
			* forcing you to stay awake during scheduled sleep, especially in the day
			* interfering with your [[dark period]]
			* making noises that stops you falling asleep
			* scheduling meals close to sleep

			Parents are often concerned that polyphasic sleep is unhealthy. However, there is strong evidence suggesting that prior to the advent of electric lighting, humans often slept biphasically, often in a pattern resembling [[Segmented]]. Taking daytime naps have also been found to have health benefits.

			Sleep patterns, other than [[monophasic]] or simple [[biphasic]] ones, which closely resemble monophasic. There are very few studies on other schedules, so it is often claimed that an uninterrupted long sleep blok at night, possibly supplemented with a short daytime nap, is the healthiest schedule<ref name="Walker1989" />.

	==== Persuasion strategies ====		==== Persuasion strategies ====
	~~The best~~ way to ~~persuade~~ parents ~~in this case is~~ to ~~familiarize them with the existing studies on segmented~~ sleep~~. Such resources as [https://scholar.google.com/ Google Scholar] can be used to find the research~~. The ~~key~~ search phrase is "segmented sleep". This should be enough to ~~make a conclusion non-reducing~~ splitted sleep is natural and healthy ~~enough~~. This will also show your ~~awareness~~ of ~~the~~ sleep ~~topic~~, which ~~contributes to the parents'~~ trust in ~~your actions. Otherwise~~, ~~if parents are unwilling~~ to ~~read the documents you provide or listen~~ to ~~explanation~~, the only ~~polyphasic schedules that fit you are those, which closely resemble mono: [[E1\|E1-extended]]~~, ~~[[Siesta\|Siesta-extended]]~~ and ~~[[BiphasicX]]~~.		One way to convince parents would be sharing literature related to polyphasic sleep. The most useful search phrase is "segmented sleep". This should be enough to suggest that splitted sleep is natural and healthy. This will also show your knowledge about the subject of sleep, which can help you gain their trust.

			Alternatively, you can cite existing sleep issues, especially insomnia and tiredness in the day, as a reason to experiment with sleep. By framing polyphasic sleep as a way to solve sleep issues, they may also be more open to it. You can also say that the experiment is only temporary, and then say that it feels better than before if adaptation succeeds.

	=== School ===		=== School ===
			School can also pose a problem. Depending on the region, school may last for long hours, during which napping may not be possible. Unlike other work obligations, school often starts relatively early, which can make it difficult to schedule a morning nap.

			School can also be excruciatingly boring for some, which may cause frequent microsleeps during adaptation. This can affect your performance at school. If reported by teachers, your parents may intervene to stop your adapation. If it is possible, participating more in class discussions may help with staying awake. Alternatively, exposure to cold water or chewing mints can also help.

	==== Possible napping spots ====		==== Possible napping spots ====
			Possible napping spots include anywhere that you can stay relatively undisturbed. Using [[earplugs]] may be necessary depending on the environment. In that case, having a [[vibrating alarm]] can be useful. The most common place to nap is personal desks. Some libraries may also offer a quiet place to nap. Depending on the climate, napping on outdoor benches may be possible. If desperate, toilets can also be used as emergency nap spots, though there is a risk of appearing like a medical emergency.

			The best way to persuade parents in this case is to familiarize them with the existing studies on segmented sleep. Such resources as [https://scholar.google.com/ Google Scholar] can be used to find the research. The key search phrase is "segmented sleep". This should be enough to make a conclusion non-reducing splitted sleep is natural and healthy enough. This will also show your awareness of the sleep topic, which contributes to the parents' trust in your actions. Otherwise, if parents are unwilling to read the documents you provide or listen to explanation, the only polyphasic schedules that fit you are those, which closely resemble mono: [[E1\|E1-extended]], [[Siesta\|Siesta-extended]] and [[BiphasicX]].
