How do you do it?

No idea, but it came naturally to me.

I need my sleep. I need about eight hours a day, and about ten at night.

Drink a lot of coffee. It makes up for the lack of sleep and you are a lot more productive as you get in more working hours a day. Real coffee, not chicory.

Sadly I am averaging out at below 5. It is terrible, I was here and don't want to be here again. I tried power napping, working outside, but it doesn't help. My concentration is shot.

Have 5 shots before bed.

6 hours, like clockwork, regardless of how tired or drunk I was or if I'm on holiday or how late I went to bed or any of that noise

if there's a decent spell of rain falling all through the night I can stretch it to 8 hours

Sleeping is for losers.

I guess we are all losers then

I tried that once.
Coffee gave me anxiety and I still felt tired..

It's because you did not drink a lot of it.

I get 6 - 7. I can survive off as little as 5 but only for like 3 days in a row then I crash. Ideally, I need 8+ but ain't nobody got time for dat.

Absolutely based

So you wake up screaming several times a night?

And wet the bed?

 

[grok]

Always used to say I'll sleep when I'm dead during my clubbing & partying days.

Now I average between 6 and 7 hours a night, except when I'm not..

Sleeping is a waste of time. Too much to do.

Sleeping is a waste of time. Too much to do.

But when you get enough sleep, you’re able to do more than you would otherwise.

 

[wbot]

6-7hrs

Speaking of which, it's past my bed time so bye

Not only that, but without sleep you break habit and by breaking habit you take on bad habits. Add some conditions and it can get pretty reckless. I know.

At least I kicked binge drinking and smoking.

I can do little sleep for a week or two, but then my immune system drops me like a sack of poo.

I need min of 7 hours.

I don't think lack of sleep is good for your body longterm..

It is not good period, people that say they are functional with less than 8 hours sleep are talking BS. It has been proven consistently with sleep studies, people with less sleep suffer significant impairment compared to people that at least get 8 hours sleep. Getting less sleep greatly impacts your health too, and puts you at risk for a stroke, heart issues even diabetes. So when they say get 8 hours of sleep they really do mean it. The body is also tied directly to day/cycle, chemical reactions in the body is different during the day and night, specifically to encourage sleep at night and being active during the day.

Just wanted to point that out before people start with I am "fine" with 4 hours sleep BS.
