What is a way I can train my body to require much less sleep?

Answer 1

None and very stupid to try. After age 27, the human body needs 8 hours of sleep. You need tens hours until age 19. All the important things happen at night. All your growth and development. Women will not have as developed breast as they might have, and males may not be as hung as they could have been. At night the immune system regenerates. All repairs are done at night, such as muscle strains. The lactic acid in your muscles are washed out and replaced with oxygen. Fluid is fed into you joints, so they move easier the next day. So much fluid that you can be up to an inch taller in the morning than at night. During the day, your brain uses random access, or temporary memory (also considered your subconscious), just like your computer, but at night, when you sleep, you hit the save button, and everything you learned during the day is sorted and stored. This is what is happening when you are dreaming. Your conscience mind has been given something to do while the subconscious sorts the data.

If you are willing to give some or all of this up, in order to save yourself a few hours of sleep, than go ahead and try to train yourself to sleep less. Just don't pitch a ***** later when you begin paying the price, like breast cancer or testicle cancer, frequent illnesses, high blood pressure, and Alzheimers. Dependign on your age, and at the rate of increase in the average human life span, you could live for up to 150 years, with 100 years of that in poor health.

Everybody needs 6 to 8 hours a sleep a night! Any less than that and you are asking for trouble. I know people who are getting 4 or 5! That's bad!!! If anything, you need to train your body to require MORE sleep, but make sure it's not during a job interview, or your wedding, or during your graduation.

Answer 3

All depends on your life style and your job, activities etc.You CAN train your body clock to go to sleep and wake up at a certain time every day by doing this on a regular basis for a while and then it will become a routine but if your body and brain needs the exrta sleep you are not giving it ...you are gonna feel like Sh*t during the next day anyways and not be able to be youself and perform as a normal, fully alert person....BTW normal human need of sleep is 8 hours p/day

Answer 4

You got to do it slowly. Train yourself to sleep less by less and period by period. Let's say dropping from 7 to 6 hours in the first couple weeks, then from 6 to 5 hours in another couple weeks. You can't just drop your sleep time right the way when your body and mind haven't prepared for it. Otherwise, you will eventually want to catch back all the sleep hours one day and then back to normal. Hope it helps.

Join the Navy,, the body can be trained to do a hell of a lot more then a lot of people will be willing to tell you, or go thru. It has been documented truth that when will overcomes power, the person discovers his true strengh.. i say join the Navy because the regimen they put you thru in boot camp,, is to break that civilian wuss side of you down, and build up what you are looking for, a stronger side. of course,, it may not be healthy lol

Answer 6

I don't agree that you'll get sick. You can join the army! Man, we went days without sleep sometimes- to this day, I still can't sleep passed 8. I consider myself extremely healthy and physically fit.
Navy is tough? LOL. Sorry, I'm a soldier.

Never try to do it. I have suffered a lot with this whole thing called night shift. I never could adjust with day time sleep and invited a lot of trouble with all kinds of mental and physical problems.

Your body doesn't need sleep; your brain does. Lack of sleep is unhealthy.
