I think it is more like they dont give you a chance to sleep not the danger. Any danger is just self imposeed. How long was your trainning? 2 weeks? ( I am navy reserve too). Forcing you to live a 30 hour day when there is only 24 hours, you will have to find back the lost hours.

Taking naps during class is the most common way to get back this lost sleep.

It was said that Terence McKenna stayed awake for three weeks after ingesting a hallucinogenic drug called DMT.

Usually the average hour for human to sleep is 8 hours.
But is it possible to train to just sleep 3 - 4 hours a day without causing side-effect???

By side effects it would depends if you are talking about the long term or the short one. Short one is quite obvious, it will be that you will feel sleepy and find it difficult to concentrate. Long one would be the damage done to your body. Some may argue that they survived fine with a mere 3-4 hours sleep only. That also depends on the activity you have carried out during the day. First day of heavy work and 4 hours sleep might be enough for you to wake up refreshed tomorrow due to your own mental motivation. However, after the second day with the same amount of work and the same amount of sleeping time, you will find yourself harder to wake up on the third day. Constantly pushing your body to its limit will undoubtedly do some good amount of damage to yourself.

Hi All,

Watched this movie.. Nightmare on ElmsStreet...

there`s this part where they mentioned "micronap"
a state whereby human has stay awake excessively and the body will shut down temporarily while your eye are open and you are awake....

Meaning to say.. you are sleeping and you dont even know about it...

I tried to google but no match... anyone heard of this?

is it from valid medical terms? or just fictional medical terms?

I had a friend who slept maximum 3 hours a night for years, chain smoker and drinks like a fish. Last time I saw her, she was in her very early 20s but look like over 30.

Yes it's called Microsleep.
That's why it's dangerous to continue force oneself continue driving even though already very tired.

Ever heard of this phrase : Death is but a dreamless sleep

anyway, i chose 7hrs cos that's my average, i think sleep is pleasure and something which needs to be done just like eating etc. it is something where we need to choose the right balance to do.

microsleep, I believe I've experienced that a few times. In lectures tongue.gif haha. High probability of it happening if I sleep for 3-4 hours for 3+ consecutive nights. I would just look at the lecturer and everything would seem fine, the next thing I know, I'm opening my eyes haha I actually don't realize it at all and yes it is not easy trying to stop yourself from doing it. It'll just happen again without you knowing it

so late night drivers, make sure you have enough sleep. You don't wanna open your eyes to glass shatters

For me I have to sleep more than 6 hours. If not I will became super sleepy and sometimes cannot focus in work. But during weekend if I sleep more than that, one whole day will became so lazy and always sleepy. If 6-7 hours I'll be such an active person. sweat.gif

I need 8 hours, but usually only get 6 hours sleep a day.

Someone told me that if we take 20min afternoon nap, are equal to 40min of night sleep.

8 hours of sleep is more than enough. Too much sleeping can cause fatigue.

agree2, sleep less you'll get a headache. sleep longer you'll also get a headache. i tried when i was having my exams, duration of it was like 2 weeks. everyday slept for about 2~4 hours. in the end when i was gonna sit for my last paper my eyes was so red. blink.gif

last time during kindergarten i still remember i slept i think more than 10 hours per day, then primary n secondary 8 hours per day. now college 6 hours per day. working ? lesser i guess? tongue.gif

But 8 hours is only almost sufficient for me! >_<
I need roughly 8 hours 30 mins or i will feel very tired..
I can bear a day with 8 hours but anything below that will cause me yawning whole day.
