I have spent my entire life doing the two phase sleep pattern. Our cultural "norm" for sleeping made me always feel that some thing was just not right with me. I have tried so many "remedies" to make me sleep a straight 8 hours and even when really exhausted have always woken up after 3 to 4 hours. I thought I was an insomniac but was always able to fall back to sleep after spending an hour or two reading, thinking about life etc. I was told that I "shouldn't spend time reading (or whatever) because that meant I was training myself to stick with this "unhealthy" pattern. Hooray, I'm just a throw back! What a relief, thanks so much!

Maybe it's 'cause I'm at college, rather than slaving for the wage, but I reckon I'm gonna give this a go. (I'll let everyone know aboot the results).
