That is: polyphasic sleep is not sustainable over a multi year period.
Humans can still do it while sailing in an ocean, on space ships and similar extreme locations.
However a significant relapse then follows in more "normal" places.
I'd love to see if someone was able to be productive for 3+ years on polyphasic sleep.
Personally I relapsed after a few months - maybe I never truly transitioned.
