Ever heard of Polyphasic sleep? Basically it’s sleeping in ‘multiple short phases’, i.e., you sleep for 2 hours, stay awake for 4, then sleep again for 2, stay awake for 4 and so on. Apparently this is the sleeping habits of some quite a number of world geniuses, namely Da Vinci, Lord Byron, Einstein (though not all the time)…and …well the mother of all inventors--Kramer (remember that episode from Seinfeld)…oh and apparently Batman.
Ok, not that I was trying to be Mrs Batman, but it seems I have joined the Exclusive Polyphasic Sleep Club of Geniuses (hereafter EPSCF). My membership started 3 nights ago when I stopped going to work. I slept in late, then got up, ran a few errands, had nothing else to do so went back to sleep, then got up again, slept again, got up again and then I couldn’t sleep all night!!! Before I knew it, I had developed the pattern of polyphasic sleep.
Oh and on the first night I couldn't sleep, I was surfing the net looking for a good Happy Norooz video, but couldn’t find any. So being a member of the EPSCF I go, Hey gurl, see if u can make your own video using windows video maker.
And voila, here’s my masterpiece:

I have trouble sleeping as well. I always always wake up, but I'm not sure if it's polyphasic sleep? Is that like a disorder?

arshia: come on board :D i have now improved my record; i now sleep 10 hours stay awake for 2, sleep 10 stay wake for 2 :D :D
hamad: I DO have another life in my dreams. That's why i don't wanna get up :D It's a nice change from my usual persona :D And my dreams have become more like lucid dreaming, so i know i am dreaming which makes it even better. You wouldn't how my dreams have actually helped me out :D
g and L: if you produce master pieces like moi, then it's polyphasic sleep :P
