First you need to be born with hereditary Asperger's or high-functioning autism.
Do you have either?

Let's start with....
what do you think?
And are you paid to make this same thread over and over?
>>9020656
amphetamines and exercise. Also Coffee with a bit of LSD helps. Actually just coffee with coffee is probably even better.

Is this a fucking slide thread kek?

Anon I'm half autistic and I'm unfocused as shit. I can't remember phone numbers, addresses, I'm horrible at math and chemistry. I can't even remember if I turned off the lights in the bathroom 10 seconds ago.

People who believe this could be autistic. Given that autists are actually retarded (sub 90 iq)

Define "good" sleep. Is it just the amount of hours you sleep or also from which timeframe you do it?
I get 8 hours of sleep, from 3 in the morning until 11, and I still feel groggy for quite a while after that.
Meditate. Aim for ~half an hour per day and you'll reap significant increases in your cortical thickness, cognition, memory, attention span and clarity to name a few.

When you go to sleep and when you wake up are also important

>expects to not feel like shit in the morning with blood stained eyes.
This fucking generation.
Has anyone here tries dual n-back? Supposedly good for working memory but haven't tried it myself.
Stop being a piece of trash.
Don't eat trash (eat your greens, try vegeterian, no junk food), don't drink trash (prefer water over anything else), don't sleep like trash (get 6-8 hours at a regular time), don't treat your body like trash (get some physical activity every day), don't treat your mind like trash (meditate, avoid distractions, quit 4chan already!).

Inb4 you can't control when you wake up. I have gone to bed at every hour of the evening and in normal nights when I sleep around 10 or 11, I always wake up at 6:30ish. This is the case for pretty much any hour I begin sleep that is before 2am. Doesn't matter how long I sleep, I always wake up feeling almost as though I haven't slept. Eyes are heavy and sensitive to light. Minor palpatations send waves of sleepiness throughout my body. Cortex function and decision making are lacking. The feeling wears off within an hour or 2 after waking.

You have shit executive functioning, which is the exact opposite of what you want. It's a very uphill battle, prepare to feel discouraged many times. However, it is possible to force the behaviour you want on yourself.

When did the "ashkenazis r masterrace lol" meme come about? Aren't asians still the best in STEM?
Start treating your body like the most precious thing you own, because it is. Don't take unnecessary risks with it. Don't load up on junk food cut down on sleep too much. Don't sit all day (get a standing desk if need be).
