I had previously never heard of this, but since my sleep schedule is so erratic anyway, maybe this is something to experiment with. Let me know if any of you have ever given this a try:

“Polyphasic sleep involves taking multiple short sleep periods throughout the day instead of getting all your sleep in one long chunk. A popular form of polyphasic sleep, the Uberman sleep schedule, suggests that you sleep 20-30 minutes six times per day, with equally spaced naps every 4 hours around the clock. This means you’re only sleeping 2-3 hours per day. I’d previously heard of polyphasic sleep, but until now I hadn’t come across practical schedules that people seem to be reporting interesting results with.”

10 Zen Monkies (What a great name) has a nice interview with a transhumanist author about immortality. It is also posted there as an MP3. Here is an excerpt:

“RU SIRIUS: Let’s start off talking about immortality. And let’s talk about it personally. Do you want to live forever?

MICHAEL ANISSIMOV: Oh, absolutely! For sure!

RU: Why?

MA: Because I have at least a thousand years of plans already. And in those thousand years, I’ll probably make another thousand years of plans, and I don’t see any end to that cycle.”
