Polyphasic sleep: History, Historical examples & In extreme situations

Polyphasic sleep or segmented sleep is the system of sleeping during multiple periods over the course of 24 hours, in contrast to monophasic sleep, a single period of sleep within 24 hours. Polyphasic usually means more than two periods of sleep, as distinct from biphasic (or diphasic, bifurcated, or bimodal) sleep, meaning two periods of sleep. The term…
