4 hours sleep a night

i heard somewhere today that it is possible for the human body to survive on 4 hours of sleep a night, as long as they let their body properly ajust to the change.


think how much more time you might have, this would cut 3 hours from my usual sleep cycle. i could get so much more done.

it would be worth a try just to gain more awake time

That is very interesting


I'd probably spend too much time in tfs

i wouldnt survive! id b dead from exhaustion within a week. i need like...12hours. omgore im lazy

I could never survive on 4 hours of sleep! I get about 9 hours on a school night and 10-11 hours on a non-school night. I am not happy unless I get at least 9 hours. I can't even deal with 8! I know, that's a lot of sleep for a 16 year old, but I started developing later so I still need more sleep than most people my age.

Well over the last 7 days my sleep has been cut more than in half and instead of getting up at my normal 7-8 am every morning I've been getting up at like 5 am and let me tell ya I can tell a big difference. By 2 pm each day I am done for and so drowsy that I can barely hold my head up, it's just not working for me I need more sleep.

I would be dead if I could only get 4 hours of sleep. I could not function properly that is. I would need to drink lots of strong coffee for one.

thats how i do...4 hours of sleep a night and i'm 16 in high school
2am-6am...

i generally survive on 5-6 hours, 1 0r 2 am til 7am

Sounds like me
I Do that now

I've heard of some high-functioning, genius type people that only take a few
short (30 min) daily naps. But, I would have to see it to believe it.

hey i manage naps of about 30mins inbetween landing planes at heathrow ! !

They're was a sort of study done saying that teenagers do best on atleast 10 hours of sleep a night. I couldn't do only 4 hours, I need atleast 9 to be worth anything the next day. You would think that after only 4 hours, you wouldn't get the proper R.E.M sleep you need.

Aparently, a lot of people wake between 3 and 4 in the morning
That, they say is the time when you are closest to 'spirit',
To be 'inspired'
Also that if your tired.
Meditate for 20 mins or more.
That it is equal to a good night's sleep.

I need about 12 hours sleep or I get cranky

I dunno if I could survive on only 4 hours...
