From Polyphasic Sleep Wiki
Dark period is a way for sleepers to stabilize their circadian rhythms in the absence of long blocks of sleep and increase the quality of SWS. It also prevents certain health issues from arising. For most schedules, it should start 1-3 hours (2h is recommended in most cases) before the dusk (SWS peak) sleep block and continue for around 8 to 12 hours afterwards.
