@PrincessM 12 hours ? is that even possible ? i've been trying my Grandfather's sleep pattern . And it works well since i can cut sleep , watch more anime , read more LN/WN/manga , while not reducing productivity . As you probably knew , there is this clock inside our entire body , which indicates physiological activity schedule that is hardwired into our brain . Sleep less than 5 hours or more than 8 hours messes up this schedule . So in order to "calibrate" that :
1. Sleep 2 hours early for a week . then 2 hours extra for the next , and watch your body re-schedule your body clock , this method takes a bit more than a year until you can see the result . The peak result will make you can't sleep more than 5 hours a day and extra 30 minutes afternoon nap , beyond that have great risk . Do this if you have free time like long holiday or something .
2. Broke your entire bioclock by not sleeping 1 day , then you just doing activity for that day without sleep until your desired sleep time , use alarm for your desired sleep duration , try to wake up without fail when your alarm rang . Mine is 8pm~2am . Then the next day sleep at the exact time , just lie in bed if you haven't feel sleepy yet and don't do any activity until you fall asleep . This method shall show result for about 1~2 week in proportion to your discipline to the schedule you've set . 3 if you are a loose person .
At first we used the first method to make habbit , but when you are not that patient just use the 2nd method , but it is hard to do and have a lot of fail rate since it related to your own discipline .
By getting rid of that extra sleep , my boredom just slowly faded as i found more activity , more free time , and more list to read .
