Hi Toregar,
Yes 6+2 hours of sleep is very effective, according to my research it doesn't matter whether you sleep day or night, its the quality that counts. The only downside I could see to you doing this is that you dont release the GH until you reach stage 3-4 sleep, this takes a while, so breaking your sleep up into pieces i.e 6+2 might result in less of the quality stage 3 &4 sleep. I shouldn't think by much though as long as you can sleep deeply almost straight away, which if you can I am envious
I wonder if more sleep is better? as your GH,LH & T are all elevated, perhaps if you slept all day and night only waking to train or eat, you would look like Ronnie Coleman in a few months? or if there is a point of diminishing returns?
