26C3: Sleep Hacking

2 Comments Posted by 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]
    http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/04/learning-to-fly/

    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
