Some people boast about being able to function on as little as hours of sleep. But is it necessarily good for you? Brad Stulberg, coauthor of “Peak Performance: Elevate your Game, Avoid Burnout and Thrive with the New Science of Success” explains why you should sleep more than four hours even if you don’t feel tired.

I feel and act as if I was on deaths door when I sleep 4 hours. I don't know how people exist like that.

I slept for 2 hours only because a drunk man argued with my mother so we slept in our friends house and now we live in a new apartment

David Kelly Mitchell says:

The brain is like an office. During the day it's receiving letters, invoices, notes on sticky pads, schedules, mail, etc. and the office gets pretty cluttered. It won't be fun starting a new day with an already cluttered office. When we sleep all the information we obtained during the day at the office is filed away in areas of the brain and when we wake up we feel refreshed in a clean office and our paperwork is filed away. If we didn't get much paperwork all day we don't have as much to file so we need less sleep. The brain is what needs sleep. The human body can get totally refreshed in 15 minutes of relaxation according to old Army handbooks. The brain is what has to sleep and file the paperwork. Committed to memory some say.

I slept for 3 hours and I’m trying to find a vid to help me sleep

tortilla says:

Oh my… I haven’t slept. I have to go to school in about 4 hours… I wake up 6:30 pm

Catherine Ochia says:

I'd be happy if I could sleep for 4 hours every night, because I simply cannot fall asleep. I'm used to staying awake in bed night after night, and it's not because I don't want to sleep. I'd give anything to fall asleep, and awake refreshed in the mornings. It really annoys me when so-called experts harp on about the importance of sleeping for several hours every night. People can't force themselves to sleep; sleep either happens or doesn't happen.

Justine Bourke says:

I'd give anything for 4 hours a night. I haven't had more than 2 since I can remember. Often I will just get a hour and maybe 15 minutes a few hours later.
I wish I was dead

lololo lolol says:

Can we stop with these videos making people with sleep issues feel awful. Do you think 4 hours sleep is a choice. Its obviously not good

Constantine Joseph says:

If I sleep 4 hours, I will feel awkward for the next day with some brain fog. 6 to 8 hours is standard for me to feel optimized.

Alex Banuelos says:

I feel lazy and tired when I sleep a lot

Amarjeet Kumar says:

I daily sleep in 5 am at morning and wake up to 8:35 AM get ready for collage at 9:10 and after 12:30 4 lecture complete .
Daily only 4.30 hours sleeping so Daily stressful and tired so any advice to 4.30 sleep a day without stress and anxiety
Please suggest

harsh 6654 says:

Awil Mohamoud says:

There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. His light1 is like a niche in which there is a lamp, the lamp is in a crystal, the crystal is like a shining star, lit from ˹the oil of˺ a blessed olive tree, ˹located˺ neither to the east nor the west,2 whose oil would almost glow, even without being touched by fire. Light upon light! Allah guides whoever He wills to His light. And Allah sets forth parables for humanity. For Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

Sleep for 4 hours

US army infantry: we will settle for two hours and you can have your nicotine and caffeine in the morning. Also have them before bed because you will get 3 hours of sleep tonight and the rest of the week.

Jacob Balsz says:

Fast minds don't sleep 8 hours. Everyone is different but for me giving up a 1/3 of my life doesn't make sense. I wanna live and experience more!

Eren Yaeger says:

Doesn't feel much true for me
I tryied sleeping for 3 hours. Didn't feel tired and felt more concentrated. Then I want for 6, no difference. Then for 7/8, worse since I didn't have enough time to do everything in my routine and I ended up getting a trash grade. Then for 10 hours, felt no difference to 7/8 and was only VERY frustrated because I ended up procrastinating instead.

Black Lyfe says:

Not even 6 hours is enough
