Mental limits?

I've been considering switching to polyphasic sleep while working on my tulpa and have been wondering if there's a mental limit you can reach. Now I don't mean physically using up your brain's resources, since that's what a seizure results in, but mentally over exerting yourself. It's well known tulpaforcing mentally wears you out, so I'm afraid I'll be pushing my mental limit by switching to polyphasic sleep, since the first week or two result in extreme sleep deprivation. The main reason I decided to finally switch to polyphasic sleep was to get more time for tulpaforcing (you gain about 40 extra hours of free time per week), but I don't want to end up not being able to tulpaforce and losing my tulpa. Any ideas?

I'd just go with the polyphasic schedule that you think will work best. I personally am going with the two nap everyman method, which is two naps and a 4.5 hour stretch of sleep. It's very manageable for my schedule. Unless of course you're going for the method that's just 6 naps and missing one by a small amount of time leaves you off schedule for days.

 

You probably already know about this, but this should prove useful in your endeavors.

 

You should be able to pull it off without harming your tulpa, if I read the article correctly.

I'm planning on going with the dymaxion; which is 4, 30 minute naps per 24 hours. My schedule is extremely flexible so it shouldn't be much of a problem to maintain. I've known about polyphasic sleep for a solid 7 years and have attempted it once 6 years ago, but my schedule was stricter and I ended up having to go back to monophasic. But the idea of being able to use the free time for tulpaforcing sparked my interest again.

I don't know if you will listen to my words, but I'll try. Don't experiment with your sleep. It is best if you wake up at 6-7 and go to bed at 10-11. It is pure medical advice. This polyphasic sleep will wear you out without tulpaforcing. I don't know about your schedule, but I am sure you don't have to experiment with your sleep to get 30+- free mins for tulpaforcing.

And some words about tulpaforcing. It should be fun and refreshing. Wearing you out? You are doing something wrong. Turn your tulpaforcing into recreation. And with practice you'll be able to tulpaforce anywhere anytime when you have a chance.

If you stab yourself you will bleed. And thats same for all of us. Yes, I read. I just insist to stick to normal sleep. When you will have fully developed tulpa you may resume using polyphasic sleep. And as I said earlier, I doubt you have to experiment with your sleep to get 30+- mins of free time for tulpaforcing. Especially as I see all of you regularly on this website everyday. So no, I don't think you need polyphasic sleep to have some free time for tulpaforcing.

It's more than 30+- minutes of free time though. And how do you relate something physical like that to tulpaforcing? The process and the effects of the process vary a lot from person to person.

This stab thing was misunderstanding, I thought you was talking about sleep and not about tulpaforcing. I don't want to argue about polyphasic sleep. But if you aren't using it for years continuously, finish your tulpa first and resume experiments with sleep after that. And I really think that half an hour enough as a minimum time for tulpaforcing. Maybe I sound like an ass or smartass, maybe I am, but I am insisting on using normal sleep only because of 1 reason - I experienced what it means to mess up your biorythms to the extent of getting in hospital.

You can't base qualia off of empirical measurements. Tulpaforcing can vastly change from person to person based on environmental factors and their own experience. While it may be a breeze for one person, it can be mentally taxing on the next.

 

And you gain 7 hours of free time per day switching to polyphasic sleep. Not 30 minutes. That also calculates out to about 40 hours a week, and 2.53 months of free time per year. An extra 7 hours means you can split the time needed to gain a full formed tulpa in half easily if you wanted to.
