Thanks for the article. I am one of the walking talking living specimen, a living example contradicting this theory to the fullest and I am stating it in full hosh...😳

When people get noo sleep at night or if they dont sleep at all then they always get grumpy and emotional and all that... So people should always get atleast 8-10 hours of sleep for a good and active day... thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your feedback.😊😃
May I know how's it possible to contradict this theory to the fullest and manage with a lesser amout of sleep?😕😳

You're welcome.😊😃
Some calm, composed and relaxed people who have a balanced thought and emotional life can manage with a lesser amount of sleep too (less than 08 hours) since some psychologists claim our emotional life is determined by our thought life.😎
Positive thoughts mean positive emotions.😎
Negative thoughts means negative emotions which will unfortunately drain us out emotionally and psychologically.😕😳😔

Well actually I am one of the living examples here who is defying this theory that long hours sans sleep can make one less productiove or less responsive.

There are quite a few here at IF itself who can forego sleep for more than 35 -40 hours at a stretch and finish the work in hand when required..This does not mean that the quality of work suffers due to lack of sleep on unresponsive behaviour from the brain. To lead a normal life a maximum of 2.5 - 4 hours of sleep is sufficient  to tackle the day and the workload  waking  up feeling fresh and raring to go.Guess once  someone becomes a light sleeper, then the biological clock sets in and a pattern is formed. After that its simply routine life. 😛

Oh! my God I can't say / utter a single word after a living example like you has defied / contradicted the theory with such a deadly logical reasoning!
I've been left dumbfounded / speechless!
I wish that I too could manage with 2.5-4.0 hours of sleep.😕😳🤔

no no.... its not ur fault.... his brain has some chemical locha thts why he defies the theory.... afterall he has learnt all chemicals only😆

Well, this example was more of someone I know who works all hours.

And as for me, I may not be as good as this person, but yes I can very well manage upto  38 hours without sleep and still get all the work in hand,😆without sleep for more than 38 hours at a stretch. BUt mine are not mostly offfice related work..

In fact why only me, last year we used to have a group here by the name "ullu gang" we all used to lietrally stay up till early morning at times till 6 am😆having fun at IF and attend office and  all the workloads in the day time and again repeat the same in the night...😆 yeah its also a fact that our bloodstreams had more caffeine keeping us going than blood I guess...😳

Jokes aside, I think it is sound sleep which is the key factor. If you have a good sleep , even 3 hours is good to get you going for the whole day.

 

😆 The key concept of any chemical process is the  mass balance.... got the point...😉😆
