DC1 is different from DC (aka Segmented) is only a little shy of 5 hours (3hr core, 1.5hr second core, 20 min nap), not 6.
If someone’s only sleeping two-hours a day and is still able to talk, it seems much more likely that something strange and completely not understood is going on, and chronic partial sleep deprivation is not what’s happening.
I think there’s a fallacy here. It’s possible Uberman might succeed enough to allow some cognition (and more than we might otherwise expect), but not optimal cognition.
Sorry, I meant for “still able to talk” to stand in for the large group of things constituting “appear basically normal”, which the standard literature suggests they should not.
I agree with you and believe in polyphasic sleep, but my point still stands—one can “appear basically normal” without actually having optimal cognition.

Ah, my mistake about sleep length in DC1.

Puredoxyk reports being able to do work while laying down, etc, which is basically impossible if you’re seriously sleep deprived.
