And that's assuming you're getting 2-4 hours of "good" sleep. You know, "sleep like a baby" good sleep.

On the contrary, I can't function to the fullest if I get less than 8 hour sleep.

My preferred hours is actually something like 10.

They don't.

I did through most of high school and college. The burn-out is real though. I never paid attention to those warnings because I thought people were talking about a sudden loss of motivation, and I thought that was bullshit. What I realized later is that there's no outrunning the physiological consequences of punishing your body like that.

I'm a legit insomniac. It is a problem that has horribly plagued me and only gets worse as I get older.

I do not get good sleep unless I induce it with outside sources....

And medication has never worked. The closest thing that worked was ambien, but my brain/body grew completely immune to it in 6 months and no dosage worked after that. I even tripled it once against my doctor's advice. NOTHING HAPPENED.

If I get 5 hours, I consider that a full night's sleep.

I usually operate on 2-3 hours a night. 4 hours if I'm lucky.

If I knock myself out, I might get 7 hours, but the next morning is going to suck because of how I had to induce it.

I could do it pretty well back when I was 18-22 or so.

These days I could probably do it just because feeling like shit is my default.

it certainly adds to public appearance, look at Margaret Thatcher for instance.

4 hours is around the bare minimum needed to get in your bodys REM sleep. Anybody who claims they get by on less than that is probably bullshitting you.

Which is 5 hours, and that's counting winding down after I stopped posting, shower, and then lay down to try and fall asleep. Waking up, eating breakfast and taking my dog for a walk

This every single day for me

I can work on 4-5 hours a night for a few weeks. I am not one of those short sleepers, I have sleep problems and the burn out is real. But, I can function on 4 hours of sleep fine enough.

It sounds like you're a short sleeper. There are people who don't need and probably shouldn't get 8 hours of sleep to be healthy.

You must be getting a qaulity 4 hours of sleep if you can live like that indefinitely.

I've been doing it for awhile and it's not sustainable at all.

I slept about 5 hours tops per night (on school nights, at least) when I was in high school and I was physically fine, although super tired throughout the day (part of that is the boredom and the sitting of course) and I couldn't concentrate very well a lot of the time. Don't have any sort of negative effects from that afaik and people often think I'm younger than I actually am

Oh, wow. It's 2am now and I just got back from drinking at the bar, trying to help me sleep. But I'll be here until about 4, sleep until 7 or 8, and be back again

This isn't something I brag about, it's something I hate. I WISH I could sleep more. The only way is to drink more, but I don't like drinking. I only drink because I feel foolish only drinking water at a bar, and I'm only there for a long shot of meeting someone that I get along with and like me enough to talk to me

I regularly get 4-5 hours a sleep during work weeks. This is how i do it:

1) have a job with low physical requirements. I work in IT and sit at my desk an average of 8 hours a day

2) ive replaced water in my diet with coffee

3) i get 12+ hours of sleep a night on weekends
