I've tried and failed twice. However, I did gain one lasting benefit. I taught myself how to reliably fall asleep within 2 minutes. That's a pretty awesome skill.
Sleep well for 8hrs. You really need good sleep. All this hacks looks great but have a long term effect on health for sure.
Steve Pavlina has blogged extensively about polyphasic sleep: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/10/polyphasic-sleep/
Nikola Tesla was even more hardcore than the link you posted. Look at this: http://www.puredoxyk.com/index.php/2009/07/24/uberman-too-wu...
Positive effect: I don't have jet lag from the switch to wintertime I stick to the same hour.
I want to switch to the Uberman Schedule in december and I will do it together with a mate.

* Some friends: "I'd rather not want you to nap when you are here, it's anti-social", "ok i'll do it outside" didn't go over very well. * People waking me when I'm outside napping. "Are you ill", "Is he alive?"... and on a beach party "have you done to much drugs?". * At work I had to leave the office each time - napping in a local park, in a sauna or car. * "Honey, why can't you just lie next to me the whole night instead of 23:00-23:30?", Me: "Does it matter, you're asleep anyway!"
Now I am doing 3-5 hours each night with 2 naps. A dutch interview with me here: http://www.intermediair.nl/artikel//53439/kan-een-mens-toe-m...
