I think you can go with less sleep for a period of up to half a year in a healthy way. But continuing this for long time like years will get you screwed. This is all nicely explained in the book "Lights Out". Removing AA from the body and blocking the blue light during the dark periods can potentially help but I would not see it as a life-long solution. High quality deep sleep is needed for proper body maintenance and hormonal balance and most people are still set for the 9 hours in average which corresponds to the natural day-night cycle. Of course the evolution goes on and there are individuals which can increase their reproductive power by sleeping less with the help of the artificial lights which appeared only about 100 years ago.
Unfortunately I am getting now only like 6-7 hours sleep a night and feel that this is not enough but I am no longer getting frequent colds/sorethroats and other inflammatory problems from it. However, to feel great and fix my hormones including high cholesterol I would need like doing the 9 hours a night (hope to get to this when the fall comes). |
