1| Currently 22:30 to 01:30 and 04:00 to 06:30, plus usually one half-hour nap during the day (aimed at 20 min but I still need too long to fall asleep). So that’s 6 hours; previously I think I slept about 8,5 hours a day.
2| I’m less tired during the day.
To give you the full picture, here are some problems/counterpoints...
1| In the first week or so, I’ve been really tired in the section between the cores. That’s now been resolved completely, but it’s a hurdle to get there.
2| Still am a bit tired in the morning (though really not any more than before)
3| Getting out of bed is really hard. Like, super hard. I think I only manage it by throwing all of my willpower against that problem. It is getting easier, but it’s taking its time (I’ve been doing this schedule for about 2 months and am still tweaking it).
4| I’ve had an awful, totally inconsistent schedule before, often going to bed later than on the day before repeatedly, sometimes taking a turn around the clock to fix it. So it’s possible that some of the improvements would’ve also been possible with consistent monophasic sleep
It still seems like an overdetermined issue to me. You can literally get 2 more hours every day (more with advanced schedules). No amount of effort isn’t worth that advantage. At some point I want to make a LW post about it, once I have figured it out better.

You think that you could get more with advanced shedules. That doesn’t mean that’s true. Uberman has no good track record. It’s even lacking in anecdotal evidence of long-term applicability.
