Bruce is supposed to be in “peak physical condition”; built like Chris Bumstead, but with the cardiovascular conditioning of a CrossFit athlete. It is physically impossible (as in defies the laws of physics) for a person to achieve that without 7-9 CONSECUTIVE hours of sleep, on a consistent basis. If all you’re doing is “Micro napping” a few times a day (even if it totals up to several hours), then your body will begin to deteriorate pretty quickly, and your cognitive functioning goes along with it. The whole “micro napping” thing pushes Batman into the territory of “super-human”; which kind of takes away from his character IMO. Batman, needs his rest - he’s only human.

Problem is your body has a cycle called Rem sleep and and that generally takes 2 hours for a full deep sleep and thats the time when your body heals and recovers at it's best. so normally a 1-3 hour light sleep then - 2 hours rem sleep - then 1-5 hours light sleep. If you fail to get rem sleep. The light sleep all depends on how tired you are and when you enter rem sleep. the 1-5 hours doesn't mean you sleep for 5 hours after rem it's just an indication of before and after. Without rem sleep your mind eventually would get extremly angry then hallucinate before going crazy and dieing generally around the 3 to 6 months period without proper sleep you would die.

I have also mastered the technique of micro sleep, but only when I’m in class…..

[@avinsebastianms6747]

At this point I was never normal since high school because micro sleep is all what I had

[@murf493]

There's actually some real life science behind this.SOF train themselves to sleep and take mini naps so they skip most of the sleep stages right to the good stuff so they feel well rested on minimal sleep

Maturity is when you realise that BATMAN is a common father who working hard

Basically Bruce become Ant Man. Literally. Ants are notorious for taking 1-5 second unconscious naps to continue work.

Micro sleep is trained in our militery so that the body can be refreshed quickly.

[@gube515]

Huh?

[@MG007.]

@gube515 Batman is officially Super Human. Look at the shit the writers are churning out. Not even Green Arrow has such feats and he is Batman with Arrows. It's ridiculous to where they have carried the character of Batman from being a skilled detective with formidable martial arts skills to a Fusion of Goku, Lex Luthor & Brainiac in a Batsuit. It's stupid and not entertaining anymore

He's actually a metahuman, that's his superpower. IRL, he dies. See "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker, acclaimed Somnologist.

“Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.” - Grant Morrison

[@Oldhandlewasabitcringe]

Because hes not real ?

Micro sleepin before the second alarm

[@woodstalon1881]

Batman is peak human, no wonder he's not in normal human level

[@dofydudes1735]

I think this skill is even beyond just human performance. I remember reading somewhere that micro sleeps happen when your body is in emergency mode, it's like a phone at 1% keep being turning on and off to squeeze out the last bit of battery. Heck, even Kryptonian and Amazonian need normal sleep cycle, and they're either godly entities or beings outside of solar system.

[@iJUSTON]

Peak fictional human

[@tsnoob4669]

​​​@@dofydudes1735 i always believe Batman has the power of "hypercompetence," or "superhuman skills" is what they call it, where you're competent in every talent/skills in every fields, and capable of accomplishing virtually impossible feats with ridiculous ease. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure Kryptonians dont actually need sleep. Thanks to the yellow sun, they never run out of energy and are always feeling refeshed.

After 5 1/2 months of microsleep, only getting about 20 minutes sleep total a day, my stomache started shutting down. Listen to how dangerous it is. Even if you can maintain alertness and energy, life isn't a comic book. The human body has limits.

[@magicaltour1]

Stuff like this is why I think Batman Beyond made the right call when they showed that Old Bruce had problems with his heart.

[@johnaeryns5364]

All those times batman is spoken to and doesn't respond, or when he's just standing there, silent, being batman and shit. He's really taking a power nap.😊 He's like those guys on the train that can sleep until their stop then immediately wake up and get off. He'll sleep on stakeouts until something happens, then wake up and go do batman shit.

[@doublearon157051]

Fun fact: humans are biphasic(not sure if it’s the right word too lazy to google) sleepers. We are intended to sleep 4 hours into the night then awaken, perform some “duties” then sleep the rest. This is our natural sleeping habits.

[@adrianmoreno7617]

[@itsport8829]

Bruce is literally the perfect human being. The embodiment of peak human condition and abilities… a true G… Btw was hoping you would explain why the practice of micro sleep is dangerous in reality in detail…

[@kirbyis4ever]

Sleep is basically your body building itself up in low power mode - not sleeping is quite literally self destructive. Not just that, but since the body REALLY wants to maintain homeostasis you start releasing stress hormones to compensate for the lack of sleep to keep you running until you either pass out from exhaustion or go to sleep on your own. Your immune system takes a dip and the risk of heart disease and strokes goes way up. Heart rate and blood pressure becomes irregular and your hormones go outta whack, meaning your body needs to do even more things to keep you going. An analogy: If you're a sports car, then your heart is the engine. Sleep deprevation means you're not just running it all day but you're also throwing nitro in there to keep going. Something is going to get worn down if you like it or not.

[@tyanttaylor60]

I told my boss I" wasn't sleeping I was taking a micro nap" now I'm unemployed😢

[@ericgonzalez934]

Yess, I remember , one episode. Alfred, forcefully, stopped Bruce and said , full 8 hours of sleep now, as minimum, Bruce slept for days , Superman took up the suit

[@dominican200]

People who practice induced sleep like this have horrible cycles and some issues with blood pressure

[@lyadhkhorcyclechalai69]

You know, this by itself could explain Batman's insanity...I am sure that the batman who sleeps 8 hours a day would murder joker 3 times over...

[@DanteYewToob]

He also just canonically naps a lot... he doesn't sleep one long sleep at once, he takes several naps and micro sleeps throughout the 24hr day. He basically just gets his rest whenever and wherever he can. Its not too farfetched either because ancient people used to live like that, sleeping for like 2 hours, wake up and work a little in the middle of the night, sleep a bit more, work in the morning, sleep in the hot afternoon... etc. Basically spreading sleep and work almost evenly to make the best use of daylight, temperatures, and energy. Its pretty smart.

[@mauriciomongoy2025]

I prefer Nolan's version where he just simply falls asleep everywhere he goes during the day. It makes his playboy persona more credible.

[@sir_lags_alot3814]

I love when batman comes back mostly early in his career and Alfred makes him take minimum 6-8 hours of sleep and tea

Crazy how Batman is considered weak physically in his world but if he was real he’d be considered a super human or the strongest human alive by a long shot

[@kellytyson2156]

My friend could do this in her teens it was her talent she could take a microsleeps it would last a few minutes and be refreshed ready to study and do whatever she needed to do. For her it was a conscious decision. She called them nano naps. I don't know if this plays a part but she has photographic memory as well she wasn't a genius but she did take AP classes she was smarter than most. Still is. I'm very proud of her if you can't tell.
