I was reading this yesterday http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/its_four_in_the_morning http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/its_four_in_the_m... about people who wake up at 4am
The yoga teacher baffled me the most, only taking 4 hours or so of sleep a night. I really can't imagine that working for me, 7.5 - 8 hours just seems to hit the sweet spot.
- chiefalchemist 9y agoThe brain needs sleep more than the body. If you're using your brain more than the yoga teacher then it makes sense you need more sleep. Of course, different people are wired differently but as a rule of thumb it appplies. Slightly off topic (i.e., it's about the brain and not sleep) but the book "Your Brain at Work" by David Rock is a personal fave.
- chillwaves 9y ago> If you're using your brain more than the yoga teacher then it makes sense you need more sleep. How could you possibly measure these values?
- chiefalchemist 9y agoI'm not sure how you'd measure it for this example. But I can tell you "Your Brain at Work" explains how and why thinking (as abstract as that sounds here) is a finite resource.
