Would this biphasic sleeping pattern work?!
Question: Would this biphasic sleeping pattern work?
I'm currently in high school, and I've been having sleeping problems for years. I'm thinking of attempting a sort of biphasic sleeping pattern. Meaning:
Sleep three hours from 4am - 7am.
Wake up at 7am, get ready + go to school.
Sleep two hours from 4pm - 6pm.
Wake up at 6pm, have dinner + awake for all other hours.
---
I know, this seems like a really weird sleeping pattern. Overall I get 5 hours of sleep, 3 before school, 2 after school. I'll be refreshed right before school, and right after school for the night. (PS: I have a habit of being very nocturnal, so staying up during the night works for me..)
All answers will help, thanks!

The average adult needs 8 hours of sleep a night.
Even if you're not average, 5 hours is not nearly enough.
You'll exhaust yourself, and be unable to deal with life.
When you sleep, your body takes the time to recharge itself. You'll be doing serious damage to yourself.
You will almost certainly be miserable, and probably get sick.
