Is 4-6 hours sleep detrimental? Where can I find reputable studies

>>7775407
I never get sleep, and I note that with too much as well as too little my mental functioning is lowered.

>>7775407
8-6 hours is what you need. Anything less is bad for the heath and anything over is actually even worse.

>>7775407
It's genetic. It might take some googling, but look into it if you want to be depressed. Some people only need 4 hours to completely clean their brain of waste byproducts, while others need 10+. Tends to run in the family. Life isn't fair and all that.

There was an interview with a woman who would always wake up ridiculous early automatically, so she started running in the mornings. She talked about how she gets to live two lives because she has so much time. I don't have it saved anymore.

And I know a man who barely needs sleep. Needless to say, he's very happy and has lots of money.

That's wrong. 9 hours of sleep is the best for me.

Yes. When you grow the fuck up and get a job you'll see how detrimental it is.

Lel, if I don't have anything to do the next morning, I usually sleep for 12 hours.
I go to bed at 22hr.

Can nootropics fix this ?

There's always something to do. You can hit the gym or practice more material. Or some shit.

>>7776212
Lucky you. I get 2 if I'm lucky. Restlessness sucks fuck. My eyes are so sore and red that people think I work like 5 shifts.

>>7776212
melatonin will take about an hour off your required sleep time. Get a liquid version and microdose it though, most of the pill form products are insanely high doses.

>>7775459
10 hours of sleep is fucking amazing though. I would sleep my whole life if I could.

6-8 hours is the ideal, less or more is bad, depends on the person and what he does though.

I find it quite interesting that some very experienced meditators (mainly Buddhist yogis) don't sleep at all. Deep states of meditation can be more recuperating than actual sleep. All this while being fully conscious but not like lucid dreaming either.
Of course this skill is not attainable by normal people as it takes decades of practice but I still think it's quite amazing.

Don't make me look up the sources on this.

What is bad about 10 hours of sleep?

>>7775407
google scholar.

..

if however your question pertains to yourself, which i strongly suspect, i can tell you from personally having just gone through 6+ weeks of 4-6 hours sleep per night that I've noticed no degradation of my mental faculties. physically it's a fight. you get tired during the day. who knew.

focus, my son. state your case without using a self proclaimed "Researcher, self-experimenter, and writer".

>>7775407
People talking about needing different amounts of sleep. It's literally dependent on how much deep sleep you're getting. Which is in turn dependent on several factors, including environmental.

>>7776597
no it's not about "deep sleep". i know why people have to lie about sleep. do you?
