Sleeping less and Accomplishing more

Today, I was setting up my sleep schedule for next month... weird, huh?
The reason I was doing that was because knew that I needed the extra time in my schedule in order to accomplish all the goals I had set for myself. My alternatives were to sacrifice something whether it be social life or sleep.
I then reread my notes that I had taken when I read 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss. At first, I was figuring ways that I would cope with less amounts of sleep. I had implicitly assumed that if I slept less then I would be feeling less functional. NOT THE CASE!
In the 4-Hour Body, Tim discusses a method to getting less sleep and feeling just as awake. It is called polyphasic sleeping. The system of sleeping allows you to sleep less and feel just as rested. More on this next time....
