Why do I have to spend a third of my life asleep? It just seems

probably because we can't see shit in the night so we're better off conserving energy and secreting growth hormones instead.

I went for about ten years sleeping two hours or less per night.

I really liked having all the extra time, but it had its downside. I tend to have quite enjoyable dreams but during that ten years I would only dream three or four times a year.

When I went to sleep I never went to sleep so deep that I couldn't become fully alert instantly.

Google polyphasic sleep if you have some free time and feel dedicated

How did you function? Did you do work/school/uni during that time?

How did you not collapse, exhausted after a few days and sleep for like 12 hours?

It started while working two jobs, one developing software and one teaching math and then continued on while i went back to school to work on my doctorate.

When I first started, I would crash after a few days and sleep about eight hours. Those periods or sleep quickly got fewer and further between until they disappeared completely.

In July about ten years later I got some kind of infection and started sleeping between two and four hours a night. Since then my sleep has gradually increased until I get between four and eight hours a night now.

Didn't you feel like shit all the time? Also did it have an impact on your state/abilities?

I usually felt like I was somewhat worn out, but other than I was okay.

The day I took the GRE in 1995, I had about 2 hours sleep, maybe a bit less, drove about two hours to the testing center and made a 2200 on the GRE (800 math, 780 logic, and 620 verbal).

Did you ever take stimulants such as caffeine?

Bullshitting is fun!

It's not BS.

For what it's worth, I had four hours sleep this morning and couldn't sleep any more.

Just the caffeine in cokes and an occasional cup of coffee.

It wasn't the stimulants that kept me awake.
