This is hard to do. It requires that you are really disciplined. I have some doubts to whether it works for everyone or not, but if you have a job or school that gives you short breaks in between, you might have a conflicting schedule. How strict do you have to be? The article seems to think you need to be very strics...
For example...I have school monday and wednesday. I have time in between classes to take a half hour nap if I wanted to...maybe longer...However, my first class starts at 1 and ends at 2:30 and my second class starts at 4 and ends at 5:30. There's a gap of 4.5 hours or shorter...but not perfectly 4.
Some many say "well you can just adjust the times...sleep at 11, sleep at 3, sleep at 7." No, on wednesdays, I go to school from 6:30-10. Can't sleep at 7. And what about days I have work? At a part-time job, you don't get much of a say when your hours come and go and a lot of people work 8 hour shifts at least once a week. You may get a lunch break, but you only get 30 minutes. If there is even a place for you to sleep without looking like a bum on the street, when do you fit other things in like eating? Also, how do you stay on a tight schedule for sleeping when you have to work. You maybe have 2 or 3 hours in between each sleep or even 5 or 6 because of lack of flexibility...Is that harmful to your pattern? I think it would be especially in the first few days.
Also, how good is this for /fit/ people? Your body recovers while you sleep. Yea, you need REM and this claims to give it to you...but Jefferson and Da Vinci didn't work out and their bodies were accustomed to the work they were already doing. They didn't need to recover their bodies like some of us do.
TL;DR
