Mr. Baek, 62, was recently diagnosed with a stroke. A retired journalist for many years, he had always put sleep on the back burner in his busy life. He was shocked to hear that his sudden stroke could have been caused by sleep problems, as he had never slept more than four hours a day during his working life.

For country were 80% of students study for 14 hours a day and people work 14 hours a day, common sense just does not win out.

It's the same thing in the West except most people would rather sacrifice success for more sleep over there. Those working hours are what it takes to succeed.

No. I guarantee President Biden sleeps more than 4 hours a day. LOL. When you don’t sleep enough you may work longer but the work is inefficient. Finland scores well on those tests they give students. They have no homework, no academies and recess every hour. They get out of school reasonable time of day as well. Where do the 15% a year go who don’t make it into SKY. Western schools out of country. And the degrees they leave with impressive. Let us be honest. The school day is meant to mirror the insane work hours during rapid growth period. Start at 8, take a quick dinner break and work until 11. There had to be something to do with the kids. So academies sprung up. Work smarter. Just like everyone else you are at the whim of the company. Only in the west there is movement between companies and job offers after absence or after leaving one field and studying to join another field. And now a generation grew up going to academies, never seeing family and are not marrying or having kids cause they don’t know what that even is. @@zerohero5753

I did something similar and worked two jobs for about 2 years and less than 4 hours of sleep each day. I wont go into specifics why but i noticed once i was able to get my life back, and only one job, my sleep patterns will forever remained messed up. I sleep only for 4 hours, wake up at 5am every morning and then feel sleepy by the afternoon. I get a "deep" sleep in those 4 hours but from this video, I think my symptoms may get worse over time.

I would argue its for necessity sake. Previously I was in an abusive relationship with a family member and couldn't leave and work was my only escape of being somewhere else temporally. I was lucky to find place to stay with another family member. However, with the increase costs of rent and other bills, people have to work two jobs to maintain a roof over there head and pay for food, clothing, etc. In the future, I may have to get two jobs again if i am ever to live by myself. @@zerohero5753

@catalinul1461 6 ай бұрын

There's one way to get sleep even without sleep, and that's through meditation. You lie in your bed, on your back, body stretched, face pointing towards the ceiling, and focus on your breath or just rest in that silence that makes itself known when the mind slows down. Thoughts will come, again and again, but every time they come, bring yourself back to that silence or bring your focus back to your breathing, doing this again and again after a while the mind completely stops, rest in this peace, in this silence, this is the background, this is pure awareness, when you are aware of your very own awareness of consciousness, rest here.

The Korean war destroyed a lot of heritage of the Korean peoples, such as Hemp and Cannabis very closely tied to their culture. Grandmas in the shegol(rural areas) would smoke cannabis to alleviate menstrual pains. The hambok itself was made from hemp. The western dominance over the world lead to the practice of legalizing not just in the west, but the whole world. Now almost a century later, seeing the ignorance of the past scars, we might be able to offer different remedies for sleep, pain, and spiritual woes from the past. The only wrong thing about cannabis is that it's illegal. Alcohol abuse is rampant in South Korea as culturally entwined as cannabis SHOULD be. It's pathetic what has happened on the war of drugs since the country that founded it, has cocaine in the head government building, the White House. Literally need to change now so the Korean people stop suffering unnecessarily that cannabis could fix in less than a decade. However the idiocy of the past is still rampant and I doubt they see it as a remedy. The American propaganda is too powerful echoing since 1930's.

He kept checking his phone, probably why he has insomnia now because there was no phones back then 😆 2 hours before bed, don't use phone. If you really can't sleep, you can do some maths in your head, multiply random numbers. Over time your brain gets tired from the calculating and you fall asleep. You can also do the 1 min military sleep technique. Just relax your whole body and breathe deeply in and out, you'll fall asleep fast.

Misleading story. Many people only sleep 4 hours and are cancer free plus no strokes. I'm almost certain there were other factors not related to sleep that may have caused this. Having worked in korea for many years, I noticed that most of their foods, including the kimchi are load with high sodium. Could it have been his diet and not the lack of sleep that caused it?

Bad habits exacerbate, being on your phone or drinking coffee does nit mean you couldnt sleep at all. They all have the common feature of working hard/worrying for decades with little sleep.
