i am very interested in the idea and limits of sleep. t seems to me that very little is known on what most people today spend 1/3+ of their lives doing.

i wanted to ask sci if you had any recommended reading on sleep/why we need it/how much we need+why.

i've read up on polyphasic sleep, namely puredoxyk's book, but i realise it's not more than pseudoscience/protoscience atm and was wondering if there was more done, maybe well-known rct's and (preferably) books? what are your thoughts on uberman/everyman/dymaxion etc? do any of you have experiences with any of them?

i've heard of picrel but i'm more than a little sceptical seeing its popularity and having read the insufferable introduction, would you recommend it?
