I'm glad the voices of reason are chiming in. I've heard this 6 hour thing before. It's not a good idea.

This is insane.
Your body has been evolving for years, and the inumerable number of your ancestors, slept about 12 hours a day.
They went to bed when the sun set down, and woke up when it rose.
More imporantly, sleeping is essential to good health.
Even helps you loose weight, big time.
Not going to even bother provide/search for the facts, since they won´t "persuade" those that believe otherwise, as it is probably "rooted" in them allready
(or rather had been brainwashed by the first post) - no offence
Oh and by the way: Tesla was pretty much broke...(that is - he died broke alone in a New York apartement)
Try 10.

And for the others : Do not necessairly assume that all natural human behaviour is wrong, because you base your judgement on all the "chatter"(consumerism is wrong, etc...) that everyone takes as true(which they are are),but when they apply to human body, they are right 99% of the time.(natural impulses - EVEN for wealth generation)

Not to mention, that you are able to achieve ceratin aspects of your brain (creative imagination, etc.. - as described in think and grow rich),
much more easily, when your brain is relaxed.
However, (important point) : The key is not to get OVER RELAXED (AS ARE MOST PEOPLE)
Agreeing with 10 hours. Even if that whole time is spent sleeping, at least spend that 10 hours winding down for bed. Cut the computer off, do some stretching, take a bath, avoid electronic light, etc...Not really getting into because people will do what they want either way, but I completely believe that sleeping six hours for any extended period of time is unhealthy. I think nearly every person on Earth would be better off sleeping 10 hours per day.
Good on you!Update, Keeping it real:
After going a consecutive 2 weeks on 6 hours sleep, numerous symptoms crept in... Including, but not limited to; poor cognitive function (feeling cloudy), loss of sex drive, vision problems, lack of focus.
It seems some can get away with a shorter schedule, whilst others cannot. Being 20 (still growing) and having a very active lifestyle probably does not help.
I'm glad I experimented but lesson learnt!
Yeah, Thank you...Your posts remind me of long-tail landing pages. Practice some copy, keep the formatting, and you could be rich sooner than you think!
source : http://www.artofmanliness.com/2011/03/14/the-napping-habits-of-8-famous-men/Dali recommended sitting in a chair with a heavy metal key pressed between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand. A plate would be placed upside down on the floor underneath the hand with the key. The moment Dali fell asleep, the key would slip from his finger, clang the plate, and awaken him. Dali believed this tiny nap “revivified” an artist’s whole “physical and physic being.”
Dali said that he had learned the “slumber with a key” trick from the Capuchin monks and that other artists he knew also used it. Albert Einstein “napped” this way as well, as have other inventors and thinkers who believed this nap inspired their ideas and creativity. These men were unknowingly taking advantage of what scientists today call the “hypnogogic” nap, when the mind, before it reaches Stage 2 sleep, unlocks free flowing creative thoughts. It’s a topic interesting enough to warrant its own post!
Napoleon Bonaparte
During campaigns, Napoleon was a whirlwind of energy, galloping from place to place, poring over maps, and pondering strategy. He would go days without changing clothes or lying down for a full night’s sleep. But he had the ability, as many great leaders do it seems, of being able fall asleep at the drop of a hat. This ability was likely a product of his supreme confidence. Napoleon could sleep like a baby right before battle and even when cannons were booming nearby. As they have been proven to do by modern science, Napoleon’s naps staved off the fatigue which stalks those who skip a whole night’s sleep. Then, when the storm of battle was over, the general would sleep for an eighteen hour stretch.
I don't use an alarm clock. I go to sleep and just wake up when I feel like waking up. I average about 7.5 hours a night. My take is that this is what my body is saying is enough sleep for the night. I usually don't sleep through the night, I wake up 2-3 times, usually in 1.5 hour increments. It's 1:30am now, I'm going to sleep, I'll come back and see what time my body feels I should wake up in the morning.
