Sleep interfering with productivity 04-17-2017, 11:21 PM
#1
I'm just at that point in the school year when I get fed up with sleep because it messes with my productivity. I've slept ~4 hours in the last 3 days, and that was only because I ran out of shit to do. Does this bother anyone else, or am I becoming delusional?
It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.

Sleeping properly and maintaining a good schedule will help you get stuff done to a better standard, since it improved functioning... I feel like this is more a question of, I wish we didn't spend 1/3 of our lives asleep. I certainly wish I never had to sleep, I'd get loads more done. However, I utterly hate not getting enough sleep... I feel awful and barely get anything done since I don't feel well enough to.

This is something I struggle with aswell, my family takes naps all the time and I just can't understand why you would want to waste productive time SLEEPING. I've slowly worked towards getting 4-5 hours of sleep per night instead of the previous 8. The trick to keeping a sleep schedule like this is you can NEVER stray from it, even on weekends, holidays, when you are sick, you have to stick with it so your body goes into REM quickly.
PS.
Don't drink lots of energy drinks, they have been proven to have many very adverse health effects.

If I don't get enough sleep (minimum 4 hours), my brain function diminishes to some degree.
I realize I'm not as alert and make silly errors (coding). I do agree that sleep Is a waste of time, however It's Imperative for a healthy lifestyle and proper functionality.

While you may think you can, your brain functions greatly demisnish without sleep. There's also health concerns with long term sleeo deprivation.
