I did this about 8 years ago and had some of these benefits—especially the superpower of afternoon power naps—along with one other very interesting one: I started having vivid, specific dreams and remembering them in the morning for longer. I ended up keeping a dream journal by my bed—I would half wake-up and scrawl a few key words, then go back to bed, then flesh them out in the morning immediately after waking and reviewing my notes.

Then I had a two-week trial, and, well, yanno.
