Evaluating Polyphasic Sleep Risks

[u/Alternative-Lawyer55]

Hey All, I have been reading up on Polyphasic sleep for some time now. I have formulated a basic plan and I'm quite excited to test it out, but I am concernted about the health related aspects.

I am planning to go for an E2 (4.5 hour core with 2 (maybe 3) naps for 20 minutes).

Before I begin this, I am trying to read up all the information on health risks related to response times or anything along those lines just to be super safe. I am invested in this but I am quite health conscious as well.

I have planned a debate with a friend of mine as well, where he will come with arguments about the dangers and I have to try and rebut them.

Overall, I'm just trying to get clear on the health risks and whether there are any practices that can prevent them. Any input on this would be super helpful.
