Tim, it has actually worked just fine for me with my daughter. She is almost 3 and I've been polyphasic her entire life. I actually took care of her during the night when she was first born, and my wife never had to wake up.

Kids really don't impact the schedule as much as you'd think. On the rare occasion that something intersects with my naps my wife just takes care of it until I wake up or I just take my nap a little late.

That sounds like a really fun experiment :-) if I didn't have children, I would probably try it out just for the fun of it. However, children do not respect your sleep schedule, so you just have to get whatever you can :-)

My day naps are 5hr periods to make it mesh better with work and also so that I'm not taking naps during "family time" in the evening. The 3hr night time periods also make the nights easier too.

The sleep pattern works fine for me and my family. My naps are 7am, noon, 5pm, 10pm, 1am, 4am. Lunch and Dinner are always part of the day anyways so if we are out I just take a nap anywhere and then eat quickly.

I'm not a really socialite though so the issue doesn't come up frequently. When it does I just make sure people around me understand the importance of my naps.

How does überman work with a wife and kid(s)? Is it flexible enough (at all) to cope?
