4 hours is slightly short but still ok .We all need at least 3 sleep cycles a day ,one cycle last about one and half hour in order to function satisfactory.In a Ranger course soldiers do get their 3 sleep cycles otherwise......they would be shooting each otherOriginally posted by snop_coolz:humm..i attended a course b4...the lecturer said..its not how long u sleep..its the sleep quality..if u sleep well and deep such that ur brains get the rest..even 4hr is enough..however..if u sleep with troubles..even 12 hrs later u will still feel tired..so its basically how well u sleep..ways to improve sleep can b that u listen to soft music b4 u sleep..then sleep in well conditioned temperature...most importantly is to make ur brain and body relax..this way..5 hrs of sleep is no problem..

wat u work as?Originally posted by one-niner:how long you want to do this for ? I experienced it for like 4 mths ? kinda of draining on body and felt burned out by the end of 4 mths. it was work related.
i worked till ard 8pm,before heading off to the gym , then coming back home to work till ard 2-3 am, before waking up at 8 am again to go work.
the alternate days ( tues and thurs) were just straight till 2am.
However i had the saturdays and sundays off .so it kinda of balanced off for me i guess.
But i had colleagues who were doing this for like 6-7 mths straight it have a serious toll on their bodies,haggard faces, more tired and prone to be ill.
