I hate to be the lone voice crying out for science, but has anyone actually ever seen any evidence that the "uberman" sleep schedule is possible? Has anyone ever done it successfully for a long period of time and written about it? Have any studies ever been done on it? And if so, where are these facts and why do they get less attention than blog posts advocating the idea in abstract, or as a cool new thing someone's about to do but hasn't seen results from yet?

At this point, I think all this polyphasic uber-nonsense needs to be relegated to the "bread crusts make your hair curly" department where it belongs.
