Here's a Surprising Look at What Sleep Deprivation Does to Your Body

[OH SOHH TRILL]

Is this true?

Its on the innanetz so it must be true.

 

[Majestic Pape]

Real shyt, if we're supposed to be sleeping in four hour increments, how much time should elapse between each sleep?

 

[Liquid]

I call BS on the two 4 hour naps

 

[jadillac]

4 hours is BS. If I lay down and wake up after 4 hours I'm scatter brained.

Would do no good to try and go about my day until I can nap again for 4 hours.

I could see if this was thousands of years ago and we needed to be alert b/c it meant life or death, then maybe 8 hrs isnt good.
It's best to go to sleep early enough to where your body wakes up on it's own.

So what. We dont even sleep the correct way so fukk it.

Out of the eight hours adults are supposed to have, they're supposed to be two 4 hour shifts of sleep. Not one long ass 8 hour coma

no but really ...I've never heard of it being a two part sleep.....are you saying when you wake up in the middle of the night you are supposed to get up and do something???? Is this related to Muslims getting up in the middle of the night to pray??

Yea, in my major there is plenty of late nights studying and working against the deadline as well. But at least it's not physical or 110 degrees out there patrolling in the sun.

I agree with you though, I perform worse on my exams if I don't sleep properly.

You talking about a few nights; These motherfukkas here skip weeks of good sleep breh; they procrastinate their papers and do it all at the last minute; The comprehensive exam people don't sleep at all. Not gonna be me, I got a system and sleep will always be prominent. The key thing for getting a doctorate is not the work because it will always be there: its your heath: eating, exercising, sleeping; those three determine you getting out and finishing and keeping good mental and physical health

I still say that humans don't understand sleep one bit.

Some people thrive off of 4 hours.

I gotta start getting to bed earlier

I usually fall asleep around 11 and wake up at 4am for work. Get home at 2 and take a 3-4 hour nap.

That can't be too healthy

I call B.S.

My Grandparents used to say that when they were growing up, they went to bed shortly after sunset and rose at the crack of dawn......Now that's about 9 hours right there, and they were adults....This was a common practice.......

Don't really know how you UK cats got down.....

so do I
but I won't even argue that shyt
if he or anyone else wants to skimp on their sleep, have at it, shyt don't bother me, just don't wake me up:zfg:
I would get 12 hours if my body would let me
I treat all illnesses with sleep first
whenever I don't feel well
take vit D and increase sleep and naps

some cool things I have done with sleep
1. working on an intellectual problem of any variety(memorizing, conceptualizing, brainstorming)?
solution: spend 1-4 hours studying or working on it, then immediately take a long ass nap (2-4 hours) the get up and go bak to working on it. you will notice the difference (this works for physical skills too: 1. Getting Extra Sleep Improves the Athletic Performance of Collegiate Football Players - American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) 2. Napping can Dramatically Increase Learning, Memory, Awareness, and More | Minds so many more articles on this, I did not even post the best one since I can't find it but it literally talked about using sleep to directly increase learning)

2. this is my own experiment: taking protein shakes before naps (especially around 6pm) leads to me waking up euphoric (almost manic and shyt), don't ask me how that shyt works, it happens for me sporadically, that shyt is as close to getting high as I get:zfg:

y'all should look up the navy's sleep deprivation studies too
