Looking back at retreat data from my month long retreat december 2023 from my oura I do not share the observations in reduced sleep meed that much. I do remember needing around half an hour to an hour less sleep to feel rested. This is however a relatively similar effect to me doing an evening yoga nidra right before bed.
In my model, I’ve seen better correlation with stress metrics and heart rate 4 hours before bed to explain this rather than the meditation itself?
It might be something about polyphasic sleep not being as effective as my oura thinks I go into deep sleep sometimes in deep meditation so inconclusive but most likely a negative data point here.

I’m pretty bearish on polyphasic sleep to be honest. Maybe biphasic sleep, since that may map onto some general mammalian sleep patterns.

Interesting! Are you willing to share the data?
