The CAT scan and blood work showed nothing interesting, and by that point I was totally back to normal. This problem went away immediately when I got more sleep and has not returned in the past 1.5 years. That said, don't be discouraged! I'd go back to polyphasic if my work schedule allowed it.

Can you give any more detail about what happened at the end here? What exactly did the blood work and CAT scan show? Was it a result of the sleep experiments? Did the condition go away once you went back to monophasic? Thanks in advance =). Hey, I’m trying to do this uberman schedule ATM. Can you give any more detail about what happened at the end here?
