That is understandable, but then again that is pretty much the opposit of the polyphasic sleep cycle. Sleeping several hours at a time (regular sleep) causes you to get about 1,5 hours REM on a 8 hour sleep. If you sleep only for 4 hours, you only get about 45 minutes worth of REM. And it is no wonder you feel tired. Successfully converting to polyphasic sleep and sleeping 20 minutes every 4 hours causes you to get 2 hours REM in a 24 hour period, actually more than a normal 8 hour sleep would
Recent research has proved that Deep sleep is more important than REM sleep.Many people can sleep 4 hours/per day with full energy.
