26C3: Sleep Hacking
Posted by ChrisJohnRiley on December 27, 2009
Well it’s the first day at #26C3 and purely by chance I stuck my head into the lightening talks to see Paula (@p4ula) talking about sleep hacking. This has been something that’s interested me for a while, as I’m sure it has many hackers before me. After all, we all want to fit more hours into the day, and I know more than my fair share of people that seem to never sleep at all.
There’s only so much information you can fit into a 4 minute lightening talk, luckily enough Paula had arranged a breakout room for Q&A after the talk, and it was packed. Seems like it’s not just me and Benny (@security4all) interested in this topic.
If you want to find out more information about Paula’s talk, and Polyphasic sleep in general check out the following links .:

Hello Chris,
I hope you had a nice xmas! ;D
When I read that you are interested into sleep hacking, I remembered my own experiments from some years back. Back then, I stumbled across polyphasic sleep and lucid dreaming on Steve Pavlina’s site:
[long time polyphasic sleep experiment]

[lucid dreaming]

I found the series on polyphasic sleep particularly interesting – and also the decision to go back to normal sleeping behavior because of problems with “normal” people/life
I am very looking forward to meeting you anytime soon – one more topic to discuss
Cheers,
Ben
