Having recently experienced raising an infant, let me tell you, getting all my sleep in I was getting what this article suggests would be a viable polyphasic sleep schedule (total of 8 hours per 24 hour period, in chunks of 1-2 hours throughout the day and night whenever the baby slept), but I started hallucinating, got deeply depressed, and felt like I was losing touch with reality. All the symptoms vanished as soon…

Everybody's situation is different but in our case we did sleep training around 4 months and we had whole night sleep from then on - with a few minor regressions and a bit more training. My wife found letting the baby cry out very difficult so I did have to be quite firm about it... But my daughter is 8 now and doesn't seem the worse for it ... As far as I can tell. Edit: only mentioning this in case anyone is in des…

We had all kind of theories too, up to the moment we said fuck it and took our son with us into our bed.

We slept, oh sweet sleep. Zero guilt.

The second one was sleeping in his bed 3 seconds after putting him in. He still does at 14 yo.

Everyman sleep schedule is much more sustainable than the uberman schedule. It basically involves doing 3 hour core sleep and three roughly equidistant 25 minute naps. It's fairly easy to move the naps around as needed, once you're used to this. There's also a variant of sleeping 4.5 hours, and then having two 25 minute naps. The idea here is that each 25 minutes nap is essentially "replacing" the ~1.5 hour sleep you…

Did you become sick from adapting to the new sleep schedule or was it just a coincidence?

I mean, my immune system was down due to lack of sleep. I'd have to be healthier or luckier to make it through the adaptation period without getting sick perhaps.
