[@Argonnosi]

@@uilmandala8609 Part of that is recovery. Getting less sleep than you need is like lifting weights or doing hill sprints. Your body gets tired and needs to recover. But, it's good at ignoring it as long as you keep pushing. That moment when you sit down (or, in this case, lie down for more than four hours), your body moves into recovery and it does not want you going anywhere. Sleep for 7 to 8 hours a night every night for a month and you will be changed forever.

[@uilmandala8609]

@@Argonnosi, I was sleeping exactly 7-8 hours and felt badly, until changed my lifestyle and the way I eat. And I'm waking up 4-5 am before alarm now, because I feel myself absolutely recovered. And can't even stay longer in my bed, it's just impossible. :D

[@rampage3337]

sleep is not about how long you sleep its about how effectivly you sleep. while sleeping you are not actualy recovering 100% of the times. som people actualy have a rare condition that makes them recover 100% of the time they sleep so they get away with 3-4hours no problem sleep. abusing sleeping meds can allso effect your bodys way of resting. iv had periods of my life where i could only sleep for 2-2,5hours per night while wakeing upp every 20-30min but still be able to go about my day working out,playing video games and going to work. i allso had this one week where me and my friends did amfetamin and ADHD medicin for 8days straight. no sleep minmal food like i ate maby 1skittles bag of candy during that time.and tons of water and drugs and then i whent to work and worked (you do feel exhausted in your body but you still have energy from the drug to push on) the thing is the human body adapts to what it needs to do

New research suggests that lack of sleep allows the brain to develop Alzheimers. Both Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher boosted that slept 6 hours a day, then they both suffered from the same brain disease. Also training 3 hours before bedtime increase your core body temperature, that also interferes with the quality of one's sleep. Going off the research, Casey is sadly leaving himself short in later life just to be productive today. Time will tell.

[@atonix-p8i]

I like this mindset, I really do, but in practice we know that 8 hours of sleep is *essential* to a healthy body and a healthy mind. Waking up at 4:30 means being asleep at 20:30, maintaining a social life or giving time to your family is almost impossible in this time frame.

[@pontusoskarsson5998]

+vinniesmyyth. I can agree with the idea that the early hours are the most productive for some, for others it's the late hours. No matter when you decide to sleep, you should try to get your 8 hours. Casey is getting what now? 5.5 hours between 11 pm and 4:30 am? In the video they try to make it sound like discipline creates more time, and to a certain degree it probably does, but at the end of the day Casey is still sleeping 2.5 hours less than he should, which is proven "HORRENDOUS FOR YOUR HEALTH!" to quote Awesomeness Hippopotamus. The problem is that they're making it sound like it's a positive and healthy thing to skip sleep.

[@mrtnmch]

No, 6 hours is NOT enough (read Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker). The thing is - the lack of sleep affects you (and your performance) even though you don't realise it. It's like when you're drunk - you think you're not nearly as drunk as you really are. Get 7-9 hours. And yes, that 1 hour makes a difference.

getting 5 hours of sleep (11pm-4am) is proven to damage your brain across the board. Your chances of getting Alzheimer's disease, regressing long and short term memory, and congestive heart failure all go up. Don't believe me? do some true and honest research yourself. I agree that more time in the morning is so helpful, and coffee definitely makes you forget that you are lacking sleep. I wish we all had a few extra hours in the day. But it simply is not healthy. Especially for those with brains still growing. If you are under the age of 25, your brain is most likely still growing. around 8 -9 hours of sleep is needed for those with growing brains, and 6-8 for those brain is not growing. Like I said, do your own research.

A new study has discovered that when people sleep, special lymph channels in the brain called the “glymphatic system” actually open up and drain dangerous neurotoxins from the brain into the cerebral spinal fluid. (1-4) The study suggested it takes about 6-8 hours of sleep to complete the brain drain plumbing process, which is compelling evidence that getting the correct amount of sleep matters. ---- various tumours are more likely to occur for example if those toxins are not released

xD was a joke, you can see it either way, but youre kinda right, I mean 4am is 4am in London and New York (same sun position) just one is later because earth rotation, Time is local (depends on the position relative to what we measure, sun in this case) thats why we have UTC.

Jocko’s line of reasoning holds up and can be applied even without getting up at 4am. He utilizes the foundations of habit building to become the future self he wants to be. Casey seems to work hard for the sake of working hard…to tell people he works hard. Tho, he is more entertaining than Jocko.

See, for me the discipline part is getting to bed early enough. My bedtime is 7:15pm, so that I can get up at 3am. I love getting up this early. I wake up and want to get out the door because I can go to the gym. I have almost zero traffic, very few people are there (0 to 3 others), and I have my time to myself. I'd wake up earlier if I could, but that takes too much time out of the evening. Also, 7-8 hours of sleep is vital. 1) this is why I don't feel tired at 3am. I've easily grown accustomed to this. 2) lack of quality sleep will really take a toll later on. If you want to die at an earlier age and have a range of health issues, go ahead and get less sleep consistently.
