Sleep just 2 hours a day...Uberman Sleep Cycle

[Lights]

This thread has been a wake up call and has helped me realize how much not getting enough sleep has screwed me up. Last year around this time I was getting 7-9 hours of sleep a night and eating healthy and exercising daily. From January through May I was more productive and got more accomplished than I had in the previous 3 years combined; I finished 61 Semester Units in that time frames.

In August I started a corporate sales job and can tell you it has taken its toll on my health. It is absolutely crazy the toll the stress and lack of sleep takes on your health and degrades my performance at work. If you are able to. Get your sleep.

I wish that was true for me, but sleep has only hurt me. When I sleep my day is just thrown off to the curve, and I am too lazy to get anything accomplish. I get 10x more accomplish when I am sleep deprived, taking caffeine pills, and just being insane about my projects. I notice my life fell apart if I am not continuing pushing myself to the limit, because my family thinks it's unhealthy.

I don't think some people can do it. 5 or so years ago, I worked long nights for a year...got about 4-4.5 hours a day sleep maybe; I was tired for basically a year straight and never adjusted. Couldn't do anything physical, even on days off, due to lack of energy and mental dullness.

If you can fit 6 hours of sleep a night, you should be fine. Your body needs on average 7 hours, you can take an hour off and start your day a little earlier. From the productivity and brain storming throughout the morning, you could fit in a 30-40 min nap at midday and follow it with a cup of coffee. Works like a gem for me and my days are much more PRODUCTIVE.

I do agree that everyone is different. Because of my fitness needs, I operate better if I get 7-8 hours. I can operate on 5-6 if I have to, but it'll take its toll on me within a few days and I'll need a catchup day. I don't take caffeine so maybe that's a factor.

You won't need your money if you'll be terribly sick because of lack of sleep. So... why?
