How much sleep do you get?

[UncleIroh]

<div class="bbWrapper">Today I started reading one of Trump&#039;s books and he tells how he only sleeps 4 hours at night. I started researching on this and came up with this article: <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/this-guy-has-only-slept-45-hours-per-day-for-two-years-2013-11" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="noopener">http://www.businessinsider.com/this-guy-has-only-slept-45-hours-per-day-for-two-years-2013-11</a><br /> <br /> Sleeping less would really increase my free time. <br /> <br /> How much sleep do you get?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Well lately, I have been sleeping only 5 hours and trying to get my body to get used to it. There are days I want to take a nap, but I manage to stay awake the whole day. I have experienced that what you eat, and a lot of exercise also plays a lot in being able to manage a day with minimum 5 hours of sleep. I also stopped eating past 7pm, and I am drinking more water. I also have a couple of more pounds to loose, a good physical image brings me more confident.</div>

 

[Michał Kóska]

<div class="bbWrapper">5-7 hrs during night+ a quick nap (not everyday). I excercise a lot, drink a lot of black coffee &amp; water.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">You can try it, but remember: There are no biological free lunches.<br /> <br /> I would just figure out how to use your time more wisely. <br /> <br /> If you do decide to sleep less, just do a week on/week off. Stagger it somehow.</div>

 

[luniac]

<div class="bbWrapper">Get home from work around 1AM, set alarm to 9AM.<br /> so 7-8 hours, but if i wake up before the alarm i just get up.<br /> on weekends i don&#039;t set alarm but im actually not happy sleeping 12 hours on weekends lol, i gotta curb that habit.<br /> i got off the night shift about 3 months ago and it took a lot of effort for me to readjust, it was very very tough to get out of bed for awhile.</div>

 

[Guest34764]

<div class="bbWrapper">4 hours because thank you school.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">4.5 to 5.5 hours. no more no less. if i sleep for 4 hours i will take a power nap during the day for 20-30 minutes.<br /> <br /> sleep is vital but nowadays it is difficult to get 7-8 hours (when starting the hustle) afterwards in my 40&#039;s i intend to sleep 8-9 hours so on and so forth as age increases...<br /> <br /> i drink 1 to 1.5 gallons a day that helps with balance alkaline water at 9.1 and 8.8 ph levels.</div>

 

[BlakeIC]

<div class="bbWrapper">7 1/2 hours on average</div>

 

[Tiger TT]

<div class="bbWrapper">8 hours.<br /> <br /> What are you trying to accomplish with that free time? The reason I&#039;m asking this is because you may not need more free time, but you may need to be more efficient.</div>

 

[TheGrind]

<div class="bbWrapper">8 hours.<br /> <br /> Sleeping less may work for some people, but not me. The whole &quot;grinding nonstop&quot; thing is BS. I&#039;ve found that the day after those late nights/early mornings my quality of work is a lot lower.<br /> <br /> But that&#039;s just me. It&#039;s all about finding your sweetspot.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I believe we have another large, heavily debated thread dedicated to sleep.<br /> <br /> I sleep 5-6 hours a day.

<div class="bbWrapper">I usually get about 2~5 hours of sleep a night. I found that if I get more than about 5 hours, I tend to be more groggy the next day.<br /> <br /> I believe we are all different though. Some people require less sleep than others. The key is finding what works best for you, for optimal efficiency.</div>

For instance I decided that I am going to sleep for 30 minutes but instead I woke up in like 2 hours after.<br /> <br /> I know other persons such as computer programmers who don&#039;t seem to get much sleep at all(probably 2 - 3 hours a day). They believed that sleeping 8 hours is an illusion. So they wired their mind over a long period of time to don&#039;t sleep much and still do productive work. I would encourage you to still try it because it would be interesting to hear your story and feedback on the polyphasic sleeping methodology . </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> Ok thank your for your return... <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-smile2.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /><br /> <br /> Question:<br /> <br /> How many time after start the experience did you felt tired ???? <br /> <br /> To be honnest, me too I think that 8hrs sleep/day is an illusion....

But I&#039;m not sure if polyphasic sleeping method is the solution...<br /> <br /> But, Yes I will try it and I will give you my experience !!!!!<br /> <br /> See you soon</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">5-6 on weeknights.<br /> <br /> It is one of the worst things about my life that I am truly working to change. My cognitive abilities are so much better on a solid 7-8. I can&#039;t right now because of work and it sucks. <br /> <br /> Sure, I lose 2 hours, if I sleep more. 2 hours that I can be doing things....but if I can perform better on more sleep...quality of work over quantity.</div>

But it all boils down to the task your doing. I don&#039;t do a lot of physical work, I mainly use my computer so it was easy. But for someone who is running a huge corporation or a just a small to mid level business it would be pretty hard over a period of time if they have to be there all the time in order to run it.<br /> <br /> What I understood is that when it comes on to polyphasic sleeping, it depends on the different types of work that you have to do throughout the day and how much energy it&#039;s going to take to complete them. Nikola was a a guy who was known to only sleep four hour days and yet still he was a very great scientist and inventor. So if someone is working on a construction site through out the day, polyphasic sleeping would be very hard.<br /> <br /> I wish there were more hours in the day because there is so much stuff I would do with it productively <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-smile2.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" />. But I am grateful for the 24 hours we get. You have to move smart and think critically about how you spend your time. I have studied time management and It has helped me out alot.</div>
