Four Hours Sleep, by Alan Millhone
October 31, 2011 |
Seems like a couple years ago this site had a discussion on sleep each night. Scott, you posted on this I think?
Note tonight H. Cain gets by on four hours a night. Is this a plus for a candidate?
Scott Brooks comments:
As long as he gets what he needs.
I can only make a few days on 3 - 4 1/2 hours of sleep before I need a night of power sleep. If I can get 6 - 7 1/2 hours of sleep a night, I'm usually fine.
It's also a function of what you're doing with your life, too. I'm up at the farm right now bow hunting. When I'm here, I usually work pretty hard, so I need a bit more sleep. Something about being out on the farm taking in the fresh air that makes me a little more tired at night.
But everyone is different. The key is find out what you need and make sure you get it in 90 increments (+/- a few minutes on each side of the 90 depending on your personal sleep cycles).

Going on several years already that I have from 1-4 hours, averaging about 2-3 per night hours of sleep. Occasionally I fear the effects on the brain, but so far, I seem to be quite energetic despite the lack of normal complement of rest. Of course one wonders whether I would be brighter, sharper, more viscerally effective had i the requisite 6-7 hours/night.
