I Decided to Sleep for 4 Hours a Day, See What Happened
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ม.ค. 2018
- One of the Bright Side writers decided to adjust his daily routine to leave only 2-4 hours for sleep! Do you ever think about how cool it would be if there were more hours in a day?
You would easily have time for everything: work, hobbies, friends, and family or just lazing around doing nothing at all. But enough dreaming, let's get back to reality. The only way to make it happen is by sleeping less, but would that actually work without turning you into a tired grouch?

My thoughts after the experiment 9:48
SUMMARY
If your life is like one big to-do list that you just can't seem to keep up with, then polyphasic sleep is probably for you. All jokes aside, I definitely became more productive, and I have a lot of spare time that allows me to do everything I want and even more.
On the other hand, it can be difficult since the whole world is on a completely different regimen. Your friends and family might think it’s weird when you tell them you can't go out with them or ask them to pause a movie so you can take a nap. In any case, it's your choice to make. Just do your homework first, and then go for it!
If this sort of dramatic change isn’t for you, don't worry! There are still lots of things you can do to improve your productivity.

BRIGHT SIDE 6 hours
Depending on the day/night and how much I've done...about 4-6 hours of sleep. But I still have lots to do and still can't make it work. I will look into this, 😊 might be a good idea for me to get things done.💖 thank you for sharing.
I did this once for 4 years they call it college i hear

Voice for the fearful. Hey man, sleep is a beautiful thing. That's all what I have to say
me when i try to nap for 30-45 minutes : * wake up 3 hours later*
That's why naps are not supposed to b taken in the place where u sleep at night .. bcoz your brain thinks it's a sleeping time... instead always take naps either at the office chair or desk .. this way u r signaling ur brain that its just a 15 min nap ..u have to wake up n do ur work...n dont create a sleeping environment. .keep something u r going to work on after u wake up..like book ..or laptop etc ... u must have noticed that if u sleep at the office desk .. u wake instantly when u realize what's around u... that's d reason u sleep more in bedroom ...
nxt u will also feel slight discomfort when u sleep on desk or chair so when ur time is up u will get up immediately to change ur poster n there u go! That's the time u will b more conscious to control ur brain n body I.e. to wake up! ...naps are meant to relax brain n not body .. always keep alarm .. initially u might dismiss ur alarm n sleep again ..but u wont b able to Sleep much bcoz of the same reason (u told ur brain to take nap n not sleep) ..but with time trust me I have tried it u will c change after few days...
.never take naps on bed .. or else u will end up sleeping for hrs because ur body is so relaxed that u dont even move an inch so how will u control ur body to wake up?

I've been trying my own experiment for the last 14 years, sleeping 12-14 hours a day.
In what sense?
13 hours a day...And 15 if we include going to the toilet and eating food...tf do you do in the remaining 9 hours
Majority of the parents won't be proud of such a son xD
Darth Vader you never know.
Darth Vader Who needs someone to be proud of oneself, Bye the way my personal record is 16hrs and 45 minutes on two sides of the scale
Everything you said is absolutely true. I actually sleep 4 hours a night and have more energy and am more productive and alert than compared to a full 8 hour sleep. I also get a 20 min nap during the day and wake before the alarm goes on...... Amazing
@Sharlz m1 4 hours every night?
@@kirank287 No, 2-4 hours every night. And 20-minute naps throughout the day.
@Riku!! it’s actually due to the cortisol output. The stress hormone provides you with more energy in cost of your cardiac system and much more
@Riku!! you maybe not. But your body yes
3 years later are you still alive?
Am I the only one here who slept at 12 and woke up at 4 and then trying to know that this much sleep is sufficient or not😂
☺😊
I was supposed to nap in the afternoon and woke up at 3am.

Nah, I went to sleep at 4 and woke up at 7 and need to know if I can pretend that's normal. XD
I sleep at 1:00

I get around 4 hours of sleep daily. Life of a college student.
You're not alone!!!
College is nothing but a waste of time, I wasted so much time in there, wish I could reverse time :( if your going for something big then good luck but for the others, it's a complete waste of life
TR-3B What job do you have?
Im just curious
@@tr-3b39 it depends in a lot of factors, here in Brazil you can't get decent money without going to college or doing a technical course (I don't really know how you call it), Im doing psychology next year and yes im scared to not find a job after but oh well thats life
Man, college tbh sounds useless but it could help you tons.
6 hours sleep at night and 3 hours after school, that's how it's done.
Same here
maybe if you had a life you wouldn't have time to sleep 3 hours after school everyday
Dien M i think he means 3hrs in the school
Joe Margaryan if i didn't have one i'd be sleeping 12 hours
Dien M Haha xdd goteem1111
I work at the sleep laboratory and I consider this dangerous to put it mildly. First, sleep occurs in cycles with duration about 90-120 minutes, where all the sleep stages are (should be) present: NREM 1 - NREM 2 - NREM3+4 - REM. In healthy sleep their proportion in consequent sleep cycles changes: NREM 3+4 are longest in first cycle and then they get shorter, and REM si longest in the last cycle. Both of these types of sleep have significant effects on health, not only REM sleep.
Regulation of sleep is also very complex (see Borbély´s model of sleep regulation) because it depends on sleep pressure (i.e. time spent awake before) and circadian rhytmicity, where external and internal stimuli play role (like darkness inducing melatonin secretion). The two factors should be in synchronicity for onset of sleep. One can fall asleep without on of them, but the sleep is of poorer quality.
While the video and comments mention that REM sleep will start sooner in naps, it does not mean that its duration will be sufficient. Also, there is no mention of NREM3-4 sleep that is equally important but for other purposes. This sleeping pattern disrupt normal distribution and possibly amount of healthy/physiological sleep phases.
Moreover, both short and prolonged sleep deprivation have been proven to have severe health risks, not only in neurocognitive departement but also on cardiovascular. Just one hour less in sleep in spring time shift was shown to be linked with higher incidence of heart attack. And poor sleep quality with lack of NREM3-4 and REM sleep is one of the factors contributing to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The research of effect of poor sleep quality and sleep deprivation on health is overwhelming.
And lastly, I think this is to prioritize social and working aspect of life (productivity, creativity) over indidual health. Even saying things like: ancestors did it such and such... isolated tribe does it like this.... overall REM sleep might be still sufficient ...... this and that person tried it and it feel great. It is remarkably like wishful thinking, like wanting to make excuses to your own body. "Sorry, my body, my heart and brain, that project is really important, and I so want to binge watch entire channel I just discovered on youtube, oh, and I always wanted to read that book. You won´t mind a bit less sleep, right? We´ll find some confirmation of its benefits online, I promise" It is not far above making your whims more important than your health and lying about it to oneself.
IMO the only benefit is that it boosts your creativitiy since your brain is still half dreaming while awake but it is dangerous for your health on the long run.
Probably the reason why geniuses die young.
It also increases chance for depression
Thanks for sharing. Very informative.
ziraniko For someone who works in a laboratory and has to dumb stuff down for people all the time you sure don't know how to be concise.
Tahnee Thompson Well, there are things that are not concise. Explaining why and how we sleep the way we do as mammals, is 1 of those things.
So... Do you even realize how dumb your comment makes you sound right now?
Many people live exactly this way - just not deliberately, but out of necessity - and are healthy and functional.
I spent entirety of highschool sleeping 4-6 hours a day, and not in blocks. I felt great, just used to catch up every second weekend by getting a 10hr chunk either Sat or Sun.
For those have high blood pressure, depression and vestibular disorders like me...do not try this , if you want to live little longer. My systolic blood pressure jumped from 122 to 137 just one night lacks of 3-4 hours sleeping.
I hope life get better for you soon enough.
Exactly .. I don’t think recommending 4 hours of sleep is smart.. maybe it works for this person and some RARE people but I don’t think it works for most.
soft lad.
I've been doing this since my early twenties. Every time I hear someone go "I wish there were more hours in the day" and I try to explain there are generally enough hours, I often end up getting some variation of "yea but that takes work"...
I went to sleep after watching this video
Mohammed Qureshi i went to sleep during this video
Now I'm going to 😴
I'm on my bed watching this
Mohammed Qureshi im sleeping now
I slept when the video started and woke up when it ended
Yeah I get it, but it's not scientific enough.
How was your blood pressure, before and after?
How was your testosterone level, before and after?
Are you sure about the good LONG-term effects?
Are you sure you are living a healthy life or you FEEL you're living healthy? These are two totally different things!
Agreed.
Polyphasic sleep only works for a short period of your life
If you continue to sleep less than 3 hours a day your gonna get issues really fast
Yeah and oh are you a bat or something or are you a non-nocturnal human being!
Even though some of the most productive people in history have done this for years...
for example im training cycling and I have a physical job but when my muscles are exhausted, short naps do not allow for regeneration. It is then spread over a longer period of time than if I were sleeping more traditionally. Trainings instead of bringing results bring stagnation. Part of it can be helped but some things can not be overcome. There are pros and cons. It's a long topic. ... any way 2 snaps are better for me that lazy one

Humans need to work less and live more. Finding a way to sleep less and work more shows that there is something wrong with society a day the way we live today. This guide doesnt show the long term health effects.
Chris Jayes agree!!! Everyone is trying to make us living machines!
Agree sadly companies expect us to work till we drop these days. I was in hospital for two weeks due to an illness can't help it so I was behind schedule on my work (they could have assigned to someone else) when I got back they called me in saying why are you so far behind and I was like I was in hospital i called and emailed you about this. Their response was shocking we pay you to work not to be sick so you will have to make the time up. Lets just say I handed in my notice the same day
Chris Jayes I agree. I work in oil field and it's ridiculous the hours I think in my straight 9 days I worked I had 119 hours not sure how they are able to get away with how they work people but should be ilegal. And they have nerve to have safety meetings each shift u can't fully be safe working hours like that
Chris Jayes ..
Chris Jayes You are SO right !
As an insomniac , I find it hard to relate to how hard it was for this guy to sleep 4 hrs. I hated not sleeping when I was younger but I grew into it growing up . People complaining of lack of sleep always annoys me but I don’t say anything . Just how I am
I sleep 5 hours every day and I wake up feeling healthy and energetic. Not all bodies are the same, see millions of people can’t follow my sleep schedule and millions can. We’re all different and as a plus, I have insomnia and I have my entire life. I’m one to not be bothered by it. It doesn’t disturb my day. I get the amount of sleep I want at night.
Expected photos every day with few main facts not a cartoon story full of redundant informations.
Is this a demand / command or a response? If it's a demand /command all I have to say is DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.
Jesse Hudson His redundant?

I've slept for 15 hours before, it was wonderful😌
That is super bad for you’re health.
I slept 23 hours before it was not good
I did 15+ hours a day for 5 years. It's likely the cause of endocrine system falling apart.
16 hours here! It felt really wonderful and I got no headaches, but I've only done it once. Can't even sleep for 4 hrs now with my thesis hovering over me.
the only time i sleep more than 10 hours is cause I did an all nighter the night before
I sleep only 2 hours in 24 hours. I do workout minimum 3 hours a day. I feel active and my brain is awake all the time. Its been 3 years as if now I have no health issues.
Very unlikely
And your hairs ???
I’ve been practicing this without even knowing this was a thing, I just looked up if it was ok for me to sleep less. I’ve been working to jobs so this makes me feel much better. Great video
Sameeee😂
REM lasts "exactly 20 to 30 minutes"?
I don't think the word "exactly" means what you think it means.
ssppeellll haha
Lol
When I am sleep-deprived I try to take daytime naps, and I set an alarm for 20 minutes *or less* IN ORDER TO NOT fall into "deep" sleep. Every time I have set it to 25 minutes or more, when I wake up I feel really groggy -- sometimes for hours afterwards. But not after the 10-20 minute naps, which are truly refreshing.
Not to mention that REM takes about 90 minutes to get into.
Ludovic, I think you are responding to another comment I posted, not this one. (If I'm wrong, please explain how your response is relevant to my comment above.)
You say it is not possible to take 90 minutes to get into REM. I never said it did. I said that, according to Wikipedia, it takes about 70 minutes. Leaving 20 minutes of the sleep cycle for REM.
"Plus quick REM is something the body can achieve when sleep deprived."
Citation, please? Even if this is true, this sounds like a horrible way to treat your body.
Between the anecdotal evidence, obnoxious music, preachy focus on productivity, and trite advice given at the end, this video has made me more mad than anything on TH-cam has in a while! A+!
I too appreciate a well placed good morning kick in the guts followed by productive anger. This video has helped me sleep less and be more angry at the same time ! This is genuinely positive.
I quit when he stated a 20-30 min nap was enough because thats roughly how long REM lasts. Terrible video.
Care to elaborate?
disgusting neoliberal ideology designed to help exploit immigrant labor from India... they even slipped in a photo of Modi
There are 4 stages of sleep. The first REM stage doesnt start untill well over an hour in.
I’m on my second week of polyphasic sleep now. The only day that was difficult was day three. My schedule is 5 hours per 24 hour cycle. I feel slightly more energetic than prior, other than that, not much difference internally. I do get a lot more accomplished.
Hey, how is it going? Is you schedule similar to Everyman 2 with 4.5 core and 2 20-minute naps, or is it something else?
how did it go after the time you commented?
update pls
How's it going?
You died of sleep deprivation?

Maybe it depends on your body type, not everything works the same for every person. If it worked out for him, it might not work out for you, but maybe it will work for you. Who knows?

your body does get used to it, but most people really do need 8 hours of sleep. Even if you feel ok your body does still take the effects of little sleep.
I sleep 12am - 5am

Sleep researcher here. There is no research supporting this at all (if you find any, I would be delighted to see it). There is a lot of research supporting the destructive effects of not sleeping enough, though. Use at your own risk.
thank you
Thats what i heard you need at least 8 hours for healthy life
What about this tribe the video mentions? Is there no research about the people who live there?
not to mention that "physical activity" as mentioned in the video is better, id love to see that since muscles grow and repair during sleep and according to my trainer (who sleeps around 4-6 hours and feels fit) 8 hours should be minimum if you want to build physique
Philippe Stenstrom thanks! I would also say that he did not once mention the sun, which clearly regulates sleep for all animals for good evolutionary reason. Can't just ignore that

This is a temporary solution, I've been doing this because of work (not through choice), after a few months it's a deterioration of your health, and after years it's like being a severely deteriorated version of yourself, you'll burn yourself out
May be make a change? May be it’s something else causing issues. How’s your diet? Other habits?
@@BGIANAKy I changed my job to one with a realistic working pattern and everything got better
This is not how REM sleep works and the entire video does not have any scientific backup. The only good advice this video gives is: "DO MORE RESEARCH".
And also, please don't change your life in order to "get more productive at work"... you don't live in order to go to work...
thank you
Yeah, the whole thing came across as "how to become an even more productive sheep". Even the "spend it on stuff that makes you happy and excited" part sounded like doing it for the expectations and "achiever recognition" of other people.
To live in a materialistic existence such as our reality.
Work allows us to live the way we want. Of course no one wants to work but how else are you gonna do what you want in this day and age

Thank you!
I've been involuntary sleeping like this for years, due to stress, and only falling asleep due to exhaustion. oftentimes I can't nap until I'm so tired that I crash. I'm not productive and struggle completing tasks all the time. Living like this feels, well, nothing good.
Stress... Is your problem, causes health probs m8

The body can adapt to anything, it goes into survival mode but doest mean that 4 hours is healthy. Just saying
exactly, your brain adapts but doesn't mean its good, you could be drinking way too little water and your body will eventually try to conserve that water as much as possible making each and every drop more efficiently utilized compared to someone who drinks way too much water
actually we evolved like this. it's not until the 19th-20th centuries that we started sleeping full 8 hours. used to be people sleep 4 hours go do something (even go out for a few hours midnight) and come back for another 3-4 hours. if we go even further back in time before civilization man really never slept long as you had to be alert for predators. so it's actually more normal to sleep short stretches.
zarni000 well in that first case you mentioned, the total amount of sleep is the same, and for the latter, I assure you they’re life expectancy wasn’t nearly as long as ours...
we evolved like that. changing something you have already evolved to do (i.e. you are perfectly fitted to function in) does not benefit you. the opposite.
i grant you life expectancy was shorter but for other reasons.
I can't adapt to that at all, I'll eventually pass out somewhere, maybe even in the car and cause a massive accident.
Magical... by sleeping only 4 hours a night, your clickbait pictures will completely disappear.

Yuckol ?
I love that blur bit when it happens to me i have so much fun with it hehe its like looking through the window of a 'constructed life' for me
Each individuals biochemistry is different. If it works, great. If not, great. It's all subjective.
If I sleep 4 hours a day, will I turn into a cartoon character too?
Billy Kitchens you are a cartoon
Billy Kitchens hahaa
XD
i like to sleep 14 hr
I sleep 8 hours, work 8 hours and play video games another 8 hours.
That's a full perfect productive day for me.
flyingspagetti you just described my life in comments
Catawayy oh yeah
And lets be honesty..We feel bad all day
Work 12 hrs, commute 1hr, sleep 7 hrs, family time 4 hrs.
I've been running on 4 hours of sleep a day for 3 months now. Gotta love insomnia when it pops out of nowhere.
I am going to try it now on... no matter, what does it take... i just wanna complete my to-do list and achieve my goals ✊🏻😃❤
Same here
This video has the same feel of an anti-depressant commercial. Life is not meant to be a giant to-do list. Think I’ll pass.
erfansvideos this isn't just about work. Its about being awake. You sleep less you get more time to do fun things like games family and friends not just work
Capitalists live this - it's their wet dream. An excuse for longer workdays.
James Without your health (sleep) there’s nothing you can contribute to your family, friends and even “game” time.. you become an absent zombie. Don’t sacrifice your sleep, prioritize your time.
I think it's about having more time to do things like read, paint, hike, meditate, and focus on your own personal growth.
+Erfansvideos as a person that follows this sleep pattern I can tell you that sleeping for more than 4 hours a day (ESPECIALLY in one long chunk) is overkill and can actually lead to being more tired and needing to use things like coffee and soda. I get a total of 2-3 hours of sleep a day and since I changed i've lost weight, got fit, my mental state improved, my work has gotten better, and overall I have noticed no drawbacks other than social norms.
I did this for 2 years while working graveyard and going to school. Its not worth it, to do it just for the sake of doing it. You gain weight (I was going to boxing classes at the time too) if you're not extremely careful. You become cranky and angry with everyone. I personally began feeling chest pain and started to lose my hair. I feel like I aged rapidly compared to my peers. I switched to afternoon shift last year and its the best decision I ever made. I sleep at least 6 hours every night now and I feel like a brand new person. Experiments are cool, but sleep is better.
:)
I have a male friend who slept like that since his teen days. Now that he has hit 30, whenever people see him, they thought he is at least 45! Premature aging, bad skin, weight gain (fatty liver).....you name it, he has it. It's definitely not worth trading 3-4 hours of sleep for premature aging which cannot be reverted.
LOL! Will need lots of botox to the point that one looks like a Moai statue.
I also have chest pain if i sleep less.. i feel like my heart is getting weaker. So I couldn't do it
I started having heart problems too.
I knew a woman who did something like this, her energy level was insane. Never understood how that was possible, but she had migraine and also had a brain infarct before. Not sure if it's worth it.
Eversince i was 17 years old i have been doing this kind of thing ,and when i grew older i was super used to this kind of sleeps, and it gives me more time to do things that i have never done.
Gamers do this all the time
Gamers don't sleep

wkwkwk
I wake up to fall asleep. I love sleeping
Don't do it, it makes you more tired. First time you wake up, get up. Jump out of bed. Then, maybe, an hour or two later you can go again. Listen to your body. Don't take caffeine or look at bright screens.
Tom Visser that is true
I used to wake up then go back to sleep. Actually made me start getting depresses
This is one of the best Bright Side's video in my opinion
I actually didnt know about this polyphasic sleep earlier,I usually sleep for 4 hrs and was worried if it could harm my health
Maybe by working on overcoming your tendencies for procrastination, you could improve your productivity by developing time management skills?
mmh sleeping for 6-10 hours every night sums up over the years so in general human sleep 1/3 of their life.. if you continue with the sleep schedule he "praised" this will save huge amount of lifetime over years
TerrorbladeTM if you dont die earlier
yeah, but bro 4 hour is way less sleep according to sleep scientists
ever have a kid? boom polyphasic sleep schedule.
13ones Productions exactly
Polyphasic? More like aphasic you mean...
More like NO Sleep..lol
YES!
I don't think so. There's a difference between waking up naturally and waking up from a screaming life form.
No matter how busy you are, always make time for sleep and relaxation. You are more productive when you sleep
yeah better than not sleeping at all
i have to be up in 4 hours so i looked up 4 hours of sleep on youtube
this is the dark side of bright side...
What’s his name?
Yeah, sleep is too important
HAHAHAHAH
😂😂😂
naturally mastered this during final weeks
So much sleep during final weeks would be heaven, its more like 1 hour a day 😂
I'd have never even heard of this but I was naturally resorting to a similar schedule. I mean I could've gotten my 7 hours or what have you and still done it, but I don't wanna turn myself into a machine for two weeks, I need free time.
Alexander S yesssss exactly...now that i just done my finals i need rest x_x
I'm going to be homeless and there are no shelter openings in my state so this gives me a lot of hope that I can sleep here and there in parks during daylight when it's legal to be there and still work. Thank you!
Athena within why? What’s wrong? 🙁
This is Today's most valuable video for me😇
I used to sleep like that but as soon as you start sleeping 8 hours a day, you'll find out that there really is a big difference, I mean for sure you can stay alive and do your work with 4 hours of sleep but the quality is not comparable
I’ve tried both and honestly with 8hrs or more I just felt happier. My brain chemistry felt balanced. Felt fully charged to go about my day.
Welp good for y'all I only get 5rs sleep Monday thru Friday
Btw I'm 16 years old so I can't even think straight half the time
jaco6 Same man... same
jaco6 except I’m not even getting 5 hours lately. I’m watching this video at like 4:30 and I have to be up at 7 lol
@@piercedun4846 I feel yuh I don't know if your time zone is different but i gotta wake up at 5 or 6 for school but I know what you mean
This video would have been better if the guy who did it was just talking about it normally
How was he talking then?
Like a robot
faye lure aaaah okay
Yeah I also thought he was a Text-to-Speech bot. lol
Yoon Min like a pharmaceutical shill.
I am a student that wants to get excellent marks, I help my dad at work, I want to improve my drawing level, I wanna be a photographer amd story writer. I need to help mom at the house... I wanna learn three languages... Yup.. I definately need to sleep like this....
Extremely useful especially that extra tips at end!!!!!
Can we talk about the fact that of anyone tries this that person becomes a public danger if they drive to work ?
Sara Pinto depends on the person really. I function absolutly fine off 4 hours and have no problem driving. Though there are others who might not fair as well
I've been working 3rd for the past month with only 4hrs of sleep without any naps. The first week I felt like a zombie and would space out, I now feel relatively fine and awake. I guess it really just depends on the person but at first for anyone cutting their sleep drastically i'd definitely agree. Until your body gets used to it, you're chances of hurting yourself or others goes through the roof.
RenegadeGaming yeah but as you said you would space out the first week, so I hope yoj didn't drive to work or worst that you are not a bus driver or something like that !
RenegadeGaming right. I remember my first day of school I did thrid shift and only got 3 hours of sleep, and felt I was barely functioning. After getting 3-4 hours of sleep though for a few months as the semester progressed, I actually felt perfectly normal off of 3 hours. Even days where I didn't have work or school and I could sleep in, I would naturally only sleep for like 5 or 6 hours. Your body just adapts really.
Wish there had been actual scientific research linked with this video
Christopher Johnston Yeah. But someone would complain that it's all biased anyway. It's not hard to research though, so feel free to have a look.
If this sleep pattern makes you feel better, then what more proof do you need?
REM adjusts. The less sleep you get, the sooner REM kicks in during your sleep periods. I can take a 30 minute nap and have a 3 day long dream, complete with a huge cast of characters and decent plot.
T. Edison worked 24/7/365. He would fall asleep at his work bench for 5-10 minutes a few times a day, and that's all the sleep he ever got. He lived to 84 at a time when life expectancy for a male was like 62.
Yeah gurus use this pattern of sleep #sadghuru
No. Just no.
I personally sleep three hours a day. I have trained my body to fall asleep within minutes and to wake up only to a certain bell chime. During my sleep I fall into a deep meditative sleep and even though I eat only one meal a day I have plenty of energy.
How dude? If you learnt it from somewhere, can you please share the source?
I’ve been sleeping 5-6hrs/day (except weekend) for the past 8 months 🤕
2hrs at night (10pm-12mn)
3hrs in the morning (4:30am-7:30am)
this is because of work and I can tell you that my brain is not as sharp as before. I just want to have a work without sacrificing my sleep at night. 😢
I accidentally did this while away at college. Sleeping a few hours a night. Nap after class, and after tennis practice. I just remember ALWAYS feeling tired.
Sleeping is the best thing ever
Super Yaw yeah!
Super Yaw ...It repairs the body and mind
I don't trust people that have a hard time sleep...
what’s sleep?
I Am King Can you teach me how to roast someone so bad ?
Thank you for the info.
But if I’ll go to sleep during working hours, the boss will tell me to sleep at home and never go back.
I'm on day 3 with 12 hours of sleep and I feel alert and aware today. I haven't programmed my body to do this, I just have ever sense I got my CPAP.
if your life is just a series of to do list you can't seem to keep up with you need to change life not become more productive
underrated statement
That's the whole/main purpose of videos like this, generated by corporations fearing we all turn into attention disorder freaks who cannot sustain our average productivity as we used to do before our lives got invaded by the now ever present technologic stimuli. Wake up, people! We are not born to be productive but to be happy while producing, if we like producing anything at all for that matter...
Well said. Notice how he talked about going to bed at 1:30am, giving him time to watch documentaries and read, but then he "had" to say no to spending time with friends?! How does that make any sense? Doesn't sound like the right way to live!
how tho? i can't just stop doing homework and learning for tests!
Exactly
Here I am stuck in the TH-cam marathon again
Kevin sameeeeee
Kevin lol you sit down for two seconds next thing you know... You're 5 hours into watching a centipede fighting a turtle.
I don't sleep very well and no matter how much sleep I get i am never very refreshed... I sometimes wonder why
due to diet obviously
For people who extend their sleep unwillingly or due to procrastination should try to wake up when it's extremely necessary. For eg if you've to go to work at 9 am. Then sleep around 4. In that way,you can't increase your sleeping time even if you want to and you're then bound to get up atleast at 8.
I tried this method since I can't sleep past 8 at my home😂
And bingo this idea worked very well.
My mother told me not to believe everything the internet says.... Now I know what she meant by that.
Mike Luis Don't believe anything. Or at least question everything and make up your own mind about whatever you see or hear. Wise mother 👍😁
I know a guy that used to do that when I met him ( maybe he still does but he lives in another country so I don`t see him often lol ) he would just take a few 20 minutes nap here and there... and he usually had more energy than most... I didn`t there was a word for that before seeing this though
Nihilistic parent
Mike Luis hahahahahaha
But polyphasic sleep really is a thing. I just don't know if you'll die sooner of that or not.
I've slept 5 hours every night for a couple months... I don't really think it's a good thing though..
I've slept ~5 hours every night for about 12 years now. I usually aim for 5.5 hours, but most often it's around 5. I don't take naps or anything, because it just makes me feel tired. I've tried sleeping more in the weekends, but I usually wake up without alarm clocks after ~6 hours of sleep and if i ever sleep more than 6.5 hours, i'm just extremely tired and don't feel like doing anything at all. Usually I also get sleep paralysis for oversleeping.
I'm rarely sick. I'm sick like once every 2 years or something.
It's all about what you're used to. Sleeping isn't the same for everyone and how much you sleep doesn't matter. The time you're awake matters. What's your productivity. There's no point in trying to lower your sleep amount to 5 hours if you'll just stare at a wall like a zombie for 15 hours of the day or if you waste those extra hours watching 4 more episodes of your favorite TV show. Do it only if you NEED those extra hours for something like exercising or work or studying (But remember that you shouldn't be tired when studying or working if you want to learn something since it affects your brains).
Ash Ketchum you should see a doctor
Xxsportyme 3 not really iam the same as him/her, I only sleep 4-5 hours a day since I was young, iam middle age now and it hasn't done anything bad to me iam perfectly healthy not over/under weight and I rarely got sick etc, actually if I sleep for more than that I get grumpy my head hurts and I feel sick like some thing isn't right..
ekulerudamuru It is true that some people need less sleep, so you are likely one of those then.
Ummm, i want to add to this, when you sleep less and you want to be fully rested, you need to be consistent on when you sleep. For instance, sleep 1am and wake up a 5am everyday, dont change that at all... and find a time to take a nap somewhere during the day. maybe after work or before work, depending on your schedule, like 11am- 11:30 only everyday:30 only everyday. This is where you start to see the results in improving after a week or 2. You can't have like same amount of sleep but always changing when you sleep, it will never work, ever.
I wish I too could do it, but my naps for 25 minutes turn to a 2 hour sleep....really worried 😖
Same here dude
