It's bullshit.I've performed perfectly fine on just 4-5 hours of sleep.
>>77234612You got slow wave sleep (the first 3 or so hours of the night) which is what your body really needs to recoverYou skipped REM sleep once which is fine and even desirable sometimes. Keep doing it and you'll quickly feel fucked though
>>77234652>Ding>Ding>Ding>Ding>Ding dong ding dong dong
>>77234661Wahoo
>>77234612>4-5i can do that for like 2 days but on the 3rd i feel like poop and then i need a 12 hour sleep to recover
>>77234612The instant I hit less than 7 hours I feel like dying all day long. It's not bullshit
>>77234854Same. I actually feel sick on less than 7.
5-6 hours is the sweet spot. 8+ and you feel like you need another 2 hours
>>77234612I need 7 hours to feel normal. 8 makes me feel like shit. Lately I've been getting 5 or 6 hours because I think I have a deviated septum
>>77234612I need the full 8, or even a bit more, only after exceptionally hard workouts. But I feel sleep-deprived on 4-5, find I naturally wake up after 6.5-7 typically.
YOUNG. MAN!
I need 9 ideally, even 10.5 if I've worked out very hard (e.g. doing 2 workouts like mma/boxing/kickboxing and then weights or conditioning also), 8 I feel ok, below 7 I also feel genuinely ill >>77234996I worked nightshifts for a while and for some fucking retarded reason instead of having people on nightshift all the time they made us switch from days to nights within the same week: e.g. if u did monday tuesday days then friday satuday sunday nights, then wednesday thursday days and so on. switching from nights back to days was fucking death tier no idea how this is legal 10x worse than just doing nights all the time
>>77234612The more I sleep, the quicker I get ready to train gain, sleeping +10 hours during vacations is amazing.

It feels like it doesn't even matter how much sleep I get, it's completely random whether or not I wake up feeling like shit the next dayUnless I'm on vacation, in which case I always wake up feeling good even if I barely sleep the night before
>>77234612>I'm 40. Why does everything hurt?Yeah you're fine for now
right now i'm on a caloric deficit and barely able to sleep 4/5 hours a night, and i walk like 12k steps at my job, do cardio after, take my dog for walks, train. idk maybe it will change once i get to my goal weight
>>77234612El spico diabeeto
>>77234612sleep is comfy. I love sleeping
According to my phone's logs (which should be pretty accurate with how I record things), I've averaged just a bit over 5 hours of sleep a night for the past ~2.5 years, with no weeks averaging over 6. This coincides with the birth of my son and my wife having a lot of health issues (which means I'm the primary parent, sole breadwinner, and my wife's caretaker, hence the lack of sleep).I can tell you right now it's obviously survivable, but far, far from optimal. Recovery from lifting sucks ass. It's a pretty subtle issue. Day-to-day I feel fine doing my normal routines, but then after some weeks/months, I'll have injuries as if I'd been really pushing myself for months, like a pro athlete after a hard season. You know, the kinds of strain that creep up and stay unless I stop and do some serious physical therapy.Mentally no one has noticed I've declined because quite frankly I'm just really good at my job and I've been coasting for years now (engineering consultant). It's small things that only I would notice, like only being able to do a few calcs in my head before I have to start writing things down, whereas before I rarely had to write things down (even in school I took almost no notes).Anyway, get your sleep kiddies. Someday you may not have the option.
