Announcement:
A small group of us have been working on a low-cost, easy to use EEG device for the polyphasic sleep community, tailored specifically for tracking your sleep. Reliable EEG headbands are increasingly hard to find. We want to change this to help people pre-, during, and post- adaptation, and to improve our community’s access to data so that we can inform a general model of polyphasic sleep.
Right now, we’re figuring out what features that we should most prioritize in the headband. If you’d like to have input (and get on the list for early access, updates, and prototype testing) let us know your thoughts by filling out this brief, 3-minute survey:

This survey is currently planned to be open for submission until the 17.04.2021.
You have reached Polyphasic Sleep Wiki, the open repository for polyphasic sleep information. Polyphasic sleep is the division of daily sleep into several blocks, as opposed to one single large block at night, which is the predominant sleep pattern in most modern societies. Polyphasic sleep patterns have been practiced by humans since time immemorial, and is still around in many cultures today.

Sleeping polyphasically can have many benefits, such as:
- increased time awake
- increased alertness and productivity
- improved sleep quality and health
- improved dream recall
This site details our current knowledge about polyphasic sleep. While the scientific understanding of sleep is still incomplete, certain principles have been deduced in the past decades based on people's polyphasic sleep experiences. Applying them will help you adapt to polyphasic sleep schedules yourself.
