I don't think he lasted 5 months on his polyphasic regimen for the same reasons listed in the sleepmemo article.

I'm not debating your position on whether or not Steve did the polyphasic sleep, but none of those links don't really have much actual evidence of him being(or specifically call him) a liar or a charlatan.

"for the same reasons listed in the sleepmemo article"

Do you have a link to this article? I couldn't find it on either of those blogs.

    EDIT: parent must mean this:
