The way the sleep schedule works is that initially you become so sleep deprived
that at each of the nap times your body decides it best make the most of the 20
minutes of sleep it has available to it and skips the usual sleep phases and
jumps directly to the R.E.M. phase. R.E.M. sleep is what is mainly responsible
for recharging and fending off tiredness. Its also been reported that by
getting R.E.M. sleep across the whole day you wake up feeling really switching
on and alert and therefore potentially more productive. Wikipedia has a [good
summary on polyphasic sleep][wikipedia].
