Research has shown that people who get in short naps on a regular basis tend to need fewer hours of sleep overall. It's also shown to reduce stress to a small degree. Too bad it's been years since I read those articles so can't remember the sources to site. I CAN vouch for the fact that when my work schedule allows it, I find myself sleeping in a 5 1/2 hour block and a nap of 30 minutes to an hour each day. During those periods I DO feel less stressed and a bit more productive. Just a thought, not everyone is built to work on the same schedule. I also have a few friends who get their best work done really late night/ early morning. Although the batching idea is great and works well I have to disagree on the sleep thing.

I've been reading articles on your website for about a month now, and have discovered that your writing a book, articles, reading 70+ books a year, maintaining this website, and at the same time getting straight A's without much studying. That's amazing how do you do it. I mean it must take time and practice, managing time and everything. I've already started using you holistic learning technique and have found a huge difference in how fast i learn things and what they mean to me. Will definitely try batching. Wow this is crazy stuff.
