Both Steve Pavlina’s blogs and Puredoxyk’s book ''Ubersleep'' understated the schedule’s difficulty. Puredoxyk adapted to the schedule in times of extreme stress at university, and was unable to adapt to it again afterwards. Nevertheless, people tend to overestimate their chances of succeeding. There has been no detailed accounts of someone adapting to the schedule in more recent times. However, it is also worth noting that the [[Polyphasic Sleep Discord|Discord]] community has been almost universally discouraging Uberman attempts, and few serious attempts have been made in the past few years, which may have contributed to the lack of success.

You may see many logs of people attempting this schedule, but most of them ends in just a few days, presumably because the author overslept and gave up. Those failures are often used to discredit polyphasic sleep altogether, without ever considering more reasonable schedules.
