Take five extra minutes to look up the facts. Cracked.com’s article on toying with your own brain started with the too-good-to-be-true idea of Polyphasic Sleeping. I had broken out a day-timer and planned out how I could fit my life around 20-minute naps every four hours when the Onyszczak side of me redoubled its skepticism and made me dig through Google a little longer, finding the first link above.

Call me a sheep but I am going to side with the doctor and his scientific data instead of the bloggers. Personal experience with the war between sleep and shift work backs up Dr. Wozniak’s claims, too.
