Using any polyphasic sleep schedule that constitutes more than one nap per day, still giving you somewhere around 7 hours of sleep, will make you sleep deprived. The more you do it, or the more intensely you do it, the more tired you will be throughout the day, and the less productive and creative you will be. The fact of the matter is, the non-REM sleep phases are actually very important, and if you need blaring alarm clocks to wake you up, (there are plenty of non-blaring zen alarm clocks)  there is a problem. You might think you can just “get used” to a rigorous schedule of only a few hours of sleep, but there is no getting used to it, you’ll just feel perpetually tired until you decide that it isn’t worth it.

Is there an easy way to tell what sellers/items can ship outside of Japan? Also, does anyone know about what the shipping costs for getting a book across an ocean and halfway across the US are?

If that doesn’t work out, there’s always … the overpriced alternative: http://tinyurl.com/bm3dqk6 The terrible translation of the title will always amaze me.

God do I want this book bayd. I’d almost be afraid of posting it here if I didn’t have a high amount confidence in the lack of interest in literature on most of the internet. Plus there’s an anime that seems to be all that most people care about, even in Japanese searches. It is a damn good anime though; very very unique, and free on Hulu, and will never be released in the US on DVD/BD because Funimation’s dumb.
