I envied them, so I decided to give it a try.\nAfter a week of getting only six hours of sleep a night, I wound up sick, and it took a week or two before I returned to my normal level of productivity. But that was only the beginning of my experimentations with sleep.\nAs a result of my failures, I resented myself, and my body, for needing up to nine hours of sleep to feel rested and to function properly.\nI fought my “weakness” with all my strength. I dreamed of how amazing it would be to need only six hours of sleep.\nI fantasized about how much more I could accomplish if only my body would cooperate.\nI was an ignorant fool.\nHere is the study mentioned in the episode:\nVan Dongen HP, Mullington JM, Dinges DF. “The cumulative cost of additional wakefulness: dose-response effects on neurobehavioral functions and sleep physiology from chronic sleep restriction and total sleep deprivation.”  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12683469\nUntil next time…\nBe a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.\nThank you for listening, and as always you can find me at:\nwww.lucasskrobot.com\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasskrobot\nhttps://www.instagram.com/lucasskrobot\n ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/oPD6kuiFIJWqsGrswc80-0ILSkpproWk9lo2ge3W-TA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hOTM0/NDgxOGUyNDkzNGY1/YWYzYTJkZmNiODE3/MWNkNi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
