How to Sleep Only 4 1/2 Hours a Day

Really. And not die from exhaustation or need a coffee maker strapped to your back. Actually you feel quite good — not at all “sleep-deprived.”
The method to the madness is sleeping in 90 minute increments. 3 hours. 4.5 hours. 6 hours. 7.5 hours. Definitely not 8 hours.
Glen Rhodes has a blog post titled “The Power of the Sleep Cycle” with all the details. For over 3 years now, he’s been sleeping 3 hours at night and taking a 90 minute nap after work. No tiredness, ill side-effects, or caffeine addiction — just lots of extra time.
If your schedule doesn’t allow a 90 minute nap, consider sleeping 6 or 7.5 hours at night. You might be surprised to wake up feeling a lot more refreshed and awake compared to your usual 8 hours.
I like 9 hours
This sounds like madness, but uber-self help geek Steve Pavlina went on and on a couple of years ago about his own experience in this realm.
His final verdict? Not worth the hassle, since everyone else in the free world is sleeping while you’re looking for things to do.
Still, it would be amazing for at least a few months, to get caught up on the backlog of stoopid stuph that creeps into all our lives.
