A certain amount of good quality sleep is not optional and sleep deprivation is not sustainable.
- robertlagrant 2y ago7 hours isn't sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation is..no sleep. Or incredibly little sleep.
- latexr 2y agoConsidering the schedule has you stopping one task and one time and starting another exactly seven hours later, that’s not seven hours of sleep. Most people don’t stop a task and immediately fall asleep, or wake up and can start working. That gap means less than seven hours of sleep. And for many people seven hours isn’t enough. Sleep deprivation means not having enough quality sleep, it’s not a single number which can be applied to everyone all the time equally.
- robertlagrant 2y agoIt's a rough schedule. It's not work to the minute of 11:00pm then start unwinding. You might be pretty unwound by 10:30 and then answer a couple of emails before making a hot drink at 10:45 and calling it a night. It seems a bit silly to overly argue how that can't possibly describe a full night's sleep, when it clearly can.
- latexr 2y ago> It's a rough schedule. I agree, it is pretty rough, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone and don’t think anyone should follow it if they intend to live a full happy life.¹ ¹ I know what you meant, I’m making a joke.
- robertlagrant 2y agoYou're a rough schedule! (I did it.)
- pavel_lishin 2y agoThat's like saying a 500 calorie diet isn't starvation, because starvation is literally no food or incredibly little food.
- robertlagrant 2y agoIt's not like saying that. 7 hours is very similar to 8 hours, and lots of people don't even sleep 8 hours (I don't). What's the point of wasting time with a very poor analogy? It's actually like saying if 2200 calories is a normal day of food, 1925 calories is not like starvation.
