this advantage is directly proportional to how many people you have on this sleep schedule. The fewer people who do it the lower the payoff, but the more people who do it the less chance you have of keeping it secret. If the army invents an advanced airplane, it can be kept secret and used rarely, but if the army invents a new kind of carbine, it’s much more valuable if ALL the soldiers have it. Polyphasic seems a lot more like the carbine than like the fighter jet.
