According to the book, in a sleep deprived condition, measurements of a polyphasic sleeper's memory retention and analytical ability show increases as compared with monophasic and biphasic sleep ( but still a decrease of 12 % as compared with free running sleep ).

Most of the pill users in the study, surveyed from 1989 to 1990, used Orthonovum 7 / 7 / 7 triphasic pills or Orthonovum 1 / 35 monophasic pills, both made by Ortho Pharmaceutical Corp ., a division of Johnson & Johnson.

It is possible that the relapsing form is related to the antiAQP4 + seropositive status and the monophasic form related to its absence Unlike multiple sclerosis, Devic's disease rarely has a secondary progressive phase in which patients have increasing neurologic decline between attacks without remission.

The AMI published findings that " " total sleep time was substantially reduced as compared to the usual 7 8 hour monophasic nocturnal sleep " " while " " maintaining good levels of vigilance as shown by the virtual absence of EEG microsleeps . ""

According to Stampi, the improvement is due to an extraordinary evolutionary predisposition to adopt such a sleep schedule; he hypothesizes this is possibly because polyphasic sleep was the preferred schedule of ancestors of the human race for thousands of years prior to the adoption of the monophasic schedule.

According to EEG measurements collected by Dr . Stampi during a 50-day trial of polyphasic ultrashort sleep with a test subject and published in his book " Why We Nap ", the proportion of sleep stages remains roughly the same during both polyphasic and monophasic sleep schedules.
