I got this
interesting e-mail from a former Polyphasic Sleep Group moderator
and current contributor to the polyphasicsleep.info Wiki.
http://polyphasicsleep.info/index.php?title=Dymaxion
The problem is: what was that schedule? If you re-read the article
carefully, you'll discover: nobody really knows, there are just a lot of
claims and interpretations. Dymaxion (Time magazine's name for the
schedule, not Fuller's) is defined to be equitetraphasic. In fact Fuller
might have managed something like Uberman first, then found that he could
do something like (what's now called) Dymaxion, provided he also got in a
few other naps. Well, that's looking a lot more like free-running sleep,
to me.
In the one anecdotal report of success with any credibility, on the Google
Group, the guy repoting it had done Uberman for a good while (6 months or
more) before transitioning successfully (he said) to Dymaxion.
As for the safety risks, *nobody* , Actually understands the long-term safety risks. That's a big
part of the problem. The short-term safety risks should be obvious:
sleepiness is a major underlying factor in accidental injury and death.
Why take that risk, for a schedule that nobody (not even Fuller) was able
to prove workable? For the challenge? Uberman is a huge challenge.
