    That sleeping style is known as the Da Vinci method, as he was the one who purportedly popularized it. The schedule has been thoroughly studied, and the conclusion is that a human being could not sustain such a sleeping method since mental, physical, emotional, and mental degradation and damage begins to wreck havoc incredibly quickly, and will cause lasting harm that negates any of the purported benefits.

      I feel like I heard of some method that is long enough to get through a REM cycle but also relatively short like 1:30-3:00 hour increments or something. But it’s been years, so I could be remembering wrong. I wonder how that would compare to this thing of 20-30 minute increments. On the face of it, it seems like the 2nd would be a disaster because of not giving sufficient time to get into REM sleep.
