this would be a personal goal of mine if i beleived it was possible. i somewhat beleive it but it feels a bit distant as a goal for me. i would like to learn the foods or calorie amounts needed to sustain that energy , if you workout or no please state so aswell, these proceedings will take us to a higher level of guesswork/experimentaiton and understanding and self application. if there are not enough credible answers within this thread , ill will justyfy this 4 hour claim by many as false. again u must be able to elaborate in the falcon courts of justice or be considerd a fail-con and handled accordingly by the elders.

Damn 4 hours is a nap for me. I couldn't do it

All i know is that Margaret Thatcher slept for three-fours hours a night and ran Great Britain for 11 1/2 years so it can be done!!

There was a business man who slept for only 30 minutes every 2 hours. He did this for several years and once his body was accustomed to it he was perfectly fine. He ended up having to stop doing it because it was interfering with his clients schedules.
-
i have worked all sorts of schedules, all of them forcing into not sleeping.
but before i was working 19-20 i used to have to get up at 3am for work and work till 3 pm. from there i did whatever it was that i did till about 8pm and started watching tv and movies till sometime between 10-mid night. on average i was getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night. this was before i cared about nutrition and i did not take any stimulants, even caffeine. sometimes i would make a week or a couple months. then i would hit a wall and crash. i would be able to make it longer during the summer months than the winter months. i would generally go through a lay off during the winter months.
after i started working out and got my nutrition pretty good, i would sleep 4 or less hours a night, for 6 days in a row and sleep most of sunday.
i think it can be done, for long periods of time, but for good i think it would very difficult to do and keep mental awareness.
as you can tell by the rambling i still do not sleep, but i now can not go without, no matter how much caffiene i have had. there is no way i would make it long with a sub 4 hour sleep schedule!

wish i could

Margaret Thatcher - Britains greatest ever Prime Minister only slept 4 hours a night

yes but after waking up her only occupation is to sit down and wait ,no heavy squat for the iron lady.
-
10.5 hours a night is good.
-
Sleep is underrated.
-
With 4 hours I walk around like a zombie. 6 hours is the absolute minimum for me, 7-7,5 is just fine.
-
A low stress non physical job and no working out might let you get by on 4hrs, but if you don't spend your life sitting on your ass then no way. The young and stupid will fare better with less sleep than the old and exhausted of course, but the fact remains that you can't run forever on sheer willpower.
-
some people just dont need a lot of sleep for some unexplained reason.

Some people have a neurological disease which doesn't let them sleep at all. I mean not regular insomnia like the majority of the western civilization has, but their brain just doesn't allow them to switch into sleep mode. Imagine not getting one minute of sleep in years. :o

I heard Tyler Durden only sleeps 1 hr a night.

Anyone get the feeling Johnny Falcon is posting under McFarland's account, as with Bast000?

here is a big reveal*:
I don't get much sleep myself
*read this in a sarcastic tone
-
4 hours = not enough
lol :-\
-
yes
you may even get used to it and feel 'okay'
but your general health will suffer over a prolonged period of time
as will your immune system
-
You might be able to get it with polyphasic sleep. You'll of course have to take a nap every 3 hours or so and spend months acclimating to the system, but it should be possible.
If it = healthy + good for your social life or not = up for debate.

When I was hooked on Roxies I only slept 4 hours a night. Then when I quit I didn't sleep for almost 7 days. Insanity at its finest.

Meth is a helluva drug!

OP: Look into 'polyphasic sleep".
Someone mentioned something about a businessman doing it. Are you talking about Steve Pavlina? I'm not endorsing him, only mentioning he did something like that once before.

So, are you saying that sleep is not an illusion!? :D

going out having fun=more calories burned/assimilated=more muscle stimuation because you are bearing weight at hours you would normally be sleeping=possibly more ripped too depending upon where calories are at
i know for me if i get home at 4 or 5 im gonna eat cause i had a good night and usualy id wake up early at 9.....then maybe get some work n shit done and feeling like i 'could' lay down for a long nap or possibly stay up provided i drink alot of water and take flex seed ...then push myself to stay up and party another night and try to repeat everyday pushing the limits of my awake capacity.
then the only challenge becomes the workout wich would probably require more calories since id be slightly sleepy during my workouts

if you only get 4 hours or sleep a night it is equivalent to walking around injured, your brain is not fully aware and you will not do the best work you could do if you have gotten more.
-
4 hours = not enough
You are correct. I have trouble falling asleep & then I do & I cannot stay asleep. I usually switch up with Ambien, Simply Sleep or Tylenol PM, Melatonin (9mg) or Sleepytime Extra Tea (2 bags per cup).......just keep in mind that your body will get used to "whatever" eventually. Precontest is absolute torture but if you really want it, you can do it! :)

Marine Drill Instructors do it for months at a time, and they are constantly running, yelling, teaching, and on their feet with very little food, tons of water and monsters.......
-
Top ultramarathon runners tend to only sleep 4-5 hours a night so they can fit time in to run. One guy said it took a while too get accustomed to it and until he did he felt like crap.
Also there are buddhist monks who sleep only an hour or two a night. They can do that due to deep meditation.

meditation does not = rem sleep, your body needs more than 4 hrs of sleep a night, 8 is what many scientific studies show, getting any less is only hurting yourself in the end.

Alot of these monks live to be 90 plus

these days it's an accepted view that the hours of sleep needed can vary widely per person, the average is about 7 but numbers like 5-9 hours are not uncommon.

there r rare individuals that can get by on 2 to 4 hrs a sleep / night...i once saw a natty geog show about some woman that only NEEDS and sleeps 2 hrs/nite. We cant train and diet into sleeping less mate. You need what you come preprogrammed with. And i say this cause i've researched the topic after a bout of severe insomnia. People have known to have gone crazy from lack of REM sleep. Dont try to sleep less and be glad you CAN sleep. From the point of view of an insomniac like myself....you r lucky.

with the exception of melatonin (which does not work for me) all of the above will hamper REM sleep.
there r 2 kinds of insomnia...
1) folks that have trouble falling asleep
2) folks that do fall asleep but rise early.
you seem to be like me...having BOTH problems...which sux and i sympathize :(

no what i'm saying is that if you force yourself to get less sleep your mental acuity WILL suffer and you'll most likely turn into an dumbass...which comes right after idiot
apparently you r already an idiot for not researching "side effects of sleep loss" before making such a thread .
if you job is of menial physical labour(construction etc) and does not require you to be mentally coherent...by all means, GO FOR IT...sooner or later you will earn yourself a darwin award :)
good day

are you suggesting 10 hours of sleep big guy?

i never suggested i ws big...and personally i'd like to get between 8 and 12 hours of sleep every day ...i dont set alarms..when i wake up is when i wake up
i usually wake up after 4 and then i'm not as quick with my thought process all day. On the other hand when i do manage a good solid 10 hrs i find myself solving provlems MUCH quicker than on other days.
