Living on 5 hours of sleep

Posted by: fracas on July 1 @ 9:45 am

I’m not a morning person, not any longer. I wake up at 6.30 to make the most of my day, then hit the gym at 7 for a 45 min power work out. Still when I come home I’m tired, that’s when I go for my first coffee fix. It helps somewhat but the heaviness is still there and doesn’t leave me until noon. I believe it has something to do with my newfound philosophy – sleep as little, work as much!

As a result of lack of time, I’ve decided to cut down on my sleep. It’s a bit of an experiment really. I go to bed around 1 am, after doing more mundane work in the evening, administrtaion, working on social networks etc. I gathered that if I sleep on average between 5-6 hours per night I can gain a whole working day extra. Not bad, right? My new philosophy started whilst breatsfeeding Sebastian. I rarely got more than 5 hours of sleep a night and somehow my body adjusted very well to it. I used the weekends to recouperate some of the lost sleep, sleeping up to 10 hours then. So far so good…the tiredness is lifting already…I’m ready to go…
