Optimizing my sleep around Claude usage limits

If Claude usage limits are this important to your life, it seems a little smarter to just bite the Claude Max bullet. Isn't an ordinary sleep schedule easily worth $180/month difference?
- mattwiese 1y ago
  It sure is, but this has been a fun experiment because I want to sail solo in the future. If I can't vibe code while sleep deprived, I sure as heck won't be able to react to an AIS alert and change course in the middle of the night!
  - astral_drama 1y ago
    You do your best and let the sea take of the rest. Anyhow, vibe coding is pretty low stakes compared to the joys and terrors you'll find out at sea. Bon voyage!
    - Ifkaluva 1y ago
      For a landlubber like me, could you say something about what kind of joys might be possible expected? As a landlubber, the terrors are quite easy to imagine.
      - cricalix 1y ago
        In no particular order: Marine mammals Sunsets with no land in sight. Sunsets framing the land. Sunrises with no land in sight. Sunrises framing the land. Thunder and lightning rolling up one side of an island in the distance, putting on a show. Dark skies and the stars. The peace and tranquility of quiet places with just nature and you. Until the sod over the hill turns on their generator. Fresh fish. The feel of sea spray, wind in the ears, the connection to your boat, knowing if things are right just by the feel and sound. And that's just from doing non-ocean-crossing sailing.

  counterpoint : I had a max x20 account for the past three months and hit limits just about every period that fell within working hours. I finally cancelled it two days ago due to overspending-guilt/token-grinding guilt, and they shorted me my last day due to an error on their side regarding time zones. It's really so dependent on your workloads. Conversations around token expenditure are wildly different from individual to individual,and workload to workload. Dealing with codebases that require contextual reading due to a lack of training corpus (R/Go/Common Lisp, among others..) EAT context and tokens for breakfast.

      aesthetically, maybe. but i can't help think that someone who claims 100rabbits as an influence but molds their life around a paid service that burns a lot of joules in order to avoid getting closer to the metal might have missed some of the philosophical points.

Literally the first thing I thought when I read how claude counts usage is "I need to set up a cron job to do one claude request before I wake up, so my work day is split in half on the 7 hour bucket times. So probably 5AM, my tokens reset at 12, then reset again at 7.

Ah yes, polyphasic sleep. Like the classic Seinfeld episode [0]. Inspired by this, a buddy of mine tried "DaVinci Sleep" at our residential high school, and lasted a week before he crashed for 20 hours and went back to a normal schedule. Apropos of nothing, he's now a very well regarded academic - in an unrelated field. To be fair, computer science is famous for people rearranging their sleep schedule around when the compute time was available.

  "To be fair, computer science is famous for people rearranging their sleep schedule around when the compute time was available." - Duanemclemore Interesting take, not the mind set I went into reading the article but the one I wish I had...
__MatrixMan__ 1y ago
I experimented with polyphasic sleep for a few months. It was really interesting to experience time as more continuous, not broken up into days. I gave it up because I found it wasn't very fault tolerant. If I missed a bedtime even by just a few hours, or ate before trying to sleep, I was in a bad state for a day or two until I could get back on track.

  > I gave it up because I found it wasn't very fault tolerant. If I missed a bedtime even by just a few hours, or ate before trying to sleep, I was in a bad state for a day or two until I could get back on track. That's what terrifies me about polyphasic sleep at sea. I had a few "cheat" days while attempting this, but of course the safety of myself and others didn't depend on if I hit snooze 5 times in an hour. Claude just got lonely for a bit. It's really an interesting technique and I hope to find and talk with sailors who've done it. Thanks for sharing your experience.
  - __MatrixMan__ 1y ago
    On the bright side, those others would have good reason not to give you reasons to deviate from the plan. It was usually social pressure that did me in. People want to meet for coffee or drinks or food at a time when it wasn't well aligned with my nap schedule, and I started making compromises... I suppose something that engages you for hours could appear unscheduled while sailing, but it seems like most sources of such things could be mitigated with adequate planning, and they're unlikely to involve coffee or beer or birthday cake.
    - hattmall 1y ago
      >I suppose something that engages you for hours could appear unscheduled while sailing I would say, generally speaking, that comprises the bulk of the time. Most likely you will spend more time in unscheduled multi-hour long tasks than anything else over the course of an extended trip.

I'm impressed by your determination. A while back, I had a big paper deadline a week away and knew I didn’t have enough time to finish without sacrificing sleep. Rather than cutting my sleep short, I decided to stick with 7–8 hours of rest and instead lengthen my wake window. I worked out a schedule that gave me six nights of sleep across seven days. It meant waking up at stranger and stranger times as the week went on, and getting some odd looks from my roommates when I emerged from my room. But in the end, it was totally worth it. I was waking up well-rested and ready to tackle those extra-long days. The effort paid off 100%. Not only did I make the deadline, but my paper was accepted as well. A year later, that same paper helped me get into my PhD program of choice. It’s funny how these short bursts of intense effort can sometimes have such a big impact. Best of luck with your side hustle!
- versteegen 1y ago
  I'm surprised to hear that that schedule worked well. Even if you woke feeling well-rested, what did you feel like towards the end of the day, at your normal/previous sleep time? Personally in that situation I would (and do) get plenty of sleep every night and then skip the final night. I find the fatigue from a lot of lost sleep normally doesn't hit me in full until the second day after, and the final-day panic is enough to counteract the lack of sleep.
  - mckn1ght 1y ago
    I’ve tried this because I’ve long thought my circadian cycle is just a bit longer than average, where I just don’t feel tired until late at night, and traveling westward feels great because I can take an extra long day. Waking up early on a regular schedule is hard for me generally, like, I can do it but I feel braindead. Eastward jet lag of 3-6 hours is awful if I have to do stuff in the mornings. So I tried a complete “cycle” of 28 hour days until I realigned with the normal day. Which happens to be the same thing GP did. LCM(24, 28) = 168 which is 7 days with 6 cycles. Roughly 19 hours waking and 9 hours sleeping. I did let myself sleep longer instead of holding to 7-8 hours like GP. It definitely felt weird because my wife wasn’t on the schedule, but I didn’t feel super sleep deprived. I’m sure with multiple complete cycles you’d see more adverse effects, so it’s probably best to only do this very sparingly. Maybe napping during the wake period could alleviate issues.

You seem to be a young fella, so let me tell you this: Every time you do coder.Health-- for bank.Money++, you have the problem that you are never able to do coder.Health++ for bank.Money-- afterwards. Never sacrifice health for money. Never. Every idea that needs to be worked on more than 50 hours a week is an idea not worth working on. I know how it is, I've been there myself.

  People have been trading off sleep deprivation for productivity for all of human history. It isn’t always about money, and it isn’t always a choice. It is a personal decision to build or destroy one’s body, and while your advice is maybe sound in general, we should avoid generalizing for other people. A little bit of sleep deprivation isn’t life threatening (such as being significantly overweight, or smoking, or consistently eating unhealthy foods). We should avoid over-moralizing to others about the engineering tradeoffs they make in their own lives. Many a family has been enriched by mothers and fathers overworking themselves to build a better life for their children, for example. > Never sacrifice health for money. Never. Every idea that needs to be worked on more than 50 hours a week is an idea not worth working on. If I had taken this advice verbatim in my 20s, I wouldn’t be able to frequently be working 20 hour weeks in my 40s. I would argue that speaking in absolutes like this is actually bad advice. It is frequently a good thing to work yourself to burnout for a year or three if it means you can work at 20% for the following 20 years.

You have it backwards *Optimising My Claude Usage Around Their Usage Limits Your sleep regime here is in no way optimal
TheCowboy 1y ago
Why isn't simply getting another Claude account an option that you've tried before damaging your brain with low quality sleep? Or writing prompts that get fired off by a script once the usage resets when sleeping so that you at least get some free tokies? I'm sympathetic to wanting to squeeze out what you can to control costs, but this is something that might only seem sustainable because you're too exhausted to fully appreciate the potential deleterious long-term health effects.
- handoflixue 1y ago
  I believe both behaviors violate the Terms of Service - it's generally frowned on to create multiple accounts to work around usage limits, and I know the TOS prohibited scripted interactions designed to maximize 24/7 usage (the subscriptions are very much based on the assumption that you will "be normal" about them)
  - chatmasta 1y ago
    And yet businesses seem to have no trouble paying for multiple accounts. I’m sure OP could register as a business or even recruit a friend to pay for an account on his behalf. I don’t think Anthropic cares as long as you’re paying them for the two accounts…
    - handoflixue 1y ago
      Business plans usually require a 5 seat minimum, charge per seat, and have different pricing levels - but yeah, nothing stops you from registering an LLC.

- more_corn 1y ago
  I would agree but then I think back on the codebases I’ve seen over the years. Ai doesn’t have a monopoly on crappy code and at least if you learn something you can add it to your cursor rules (let’s always follow best practices for security and data protection) Or you can add it as a pre-commit check. Whereas with human devs you can tell them a hundred times and they still won’t listen.
TruePath 1y ago
It is worth remembering that before artificial lighting the normal sleep pattern is to sleep in two segments and get up in the middle to have sex, talk, do some chores, change the baby etc. And I believe a normal sleep cycle is something like 90 minutes so if you *really* sleep in 3 hour chunks that's actually probably healthier than the normal us sleep schedule. I mean many of us find the usual wake at 7am alarm schedule to be pretty damn brutal. However, if what you actually do is kinda lie around check your phone in bed etc and then get blasted awake by an alarm that's a different story.

  I quit every vice: Stopped playing videogames in my 20s because they were a time sink, stopped drinking in my 50s, stopped drinking coffee because I no longer needed a 'wake me up' when I embraced sobriety. But when I first started tinkering with AI, I found it so addictive, it reminded me of how I used to play videogames in my 20s obsessively. I think it's the randomness of the rewards that makes AI possibly addictive. It sometimes felt like a slot machine, the way that tweaking a setting or two would get me closer to the goal.

I used to be a polyphasic sleeper so this article interested me but I find myself stuck on the final paragraph. > My velocity has increased 10x and I'm shipping features like a cracked ninja now, which is great because my B2B SaaS is still in stealth mode. Does someone have a good book I can read on stealth mode startups? My B2B SaaS is only small (about $1.25m ARR) but I can't imagine shipping features without someone to use them. We could definitely write a lot more features if our users didn't point out the ways that what we were doing wasn't quite right or didn't fit with the problem we thought we were solving. I can imagine doing the business part, regulatory part or hard tech part of a startup in stealth mode - but what would does it mean to ship features in stealth mode?
- stavros 1y ago

- jaggederest 1y ago
  I'm almost certain that it's parody or satire to some degree, but these days it's very hard to tell.
- Aurornis 1y ago
  I think that was satire. The entire startup writing world has adopted the idea that you need to ship to actual customers as fast as possible. Developing features in stealth for years is a well-known way to trap yourself into making the wrong thing. That said, I think the startup book, blog, Tweet, and LinkedIn think piece world went a little overboard with the "ship your MVP early" concept. For a while I was seeing little startups proudly ship things that just didn't work or lacked key features. The only real-world feedback they were getting was that the product was incomplete. If you burn your early customers badly, you lose precious advocates. In my opinion you're doing the right thing by shipping features for your customers. It is possible to over-focus on a few vocal customers, though. A common trap for small companies is to get into a relationship with 1 or 2 very vocal customers who will act like they're giving you insights into what the industry wants, but in reality they're just telling you what you want to hear in order to specialize your software for them. It's important to go out and validate the new feature requests with the broader market.

I strongly encourage you to see a therapist or psychiatrist (a real, human professional) to determine if you have an unhealthy dependency on a computer program. Reorganizing your sleep around an activity you refuse to stop is one of the most obvious warning signs of a dangerous addiction. Please don’t destroy your mental and physical health because you’ve convinced yourself that you achieved impossible and fantastic sounding gains in productivity.

You can get another $20/mo account and switch between them with /login. It won't give you continuous coding probably, but at least you can go for twice as long with a shorter wait afterwards. I find that each account gives me 1-2 hours of coding in Claude Code usually.
metalman 1y ago
aaaah! just going for it! call it optimising or just running lean, it is a resiliancy that cant be taken away. one thing I like very much about sleeping, is waking up with my next move all figured out, even a cat nap will do I have stopped checking the time, unless there is an appointment, wake up, get up, do something, dopey sleepy, back to bed, wake up, work, hungry ....awsome , some days are zero's, and some days click, nothing but net all day long but nothing like a sleep reset when solo running hard and lean
tzury 1y ago
That’s contradicting the promise of AI. the “ai will get it done for you” spirit. Optimizing one’s sleep around rate limits is perhaps worse than “optimizing sleep around my boss’ personal life style”. Besides, are we in a low wedge industry that $180 ($6 per day) is that difficult?

guzik 1y ago
let me piggyback on this thread because maybe there’s a kind soul here who knows the answer. I set up some simple cron jobs in Claude Code that run every few hours. I am on the Pro plan and unfortunately, I cant fully solve this one problem: I keep getting the error: Invalid API key · Please run /login I know there are a lot of github issues about this but most of them dont seem to directly apply. The weird thing is: when I run the exact same command manually in my terminal, it works fine. When run via cron, it fails. I suspect it has something to do with how Claude CLI stores the session token or environment variables, since cron doesn’t run as a full login shell. I already tried wrapping the command in bash -l -c "..." which helps in some cases, but not consistently. Has anyone here figured out a clean, reliable way to run Claude CLI from cron without having to manually relogin every 5 hours or so? Or is it only restricted for paid anthropic API Key?

      In no particular order: Marine mammals Sunsets with no land in sight. Sunsets framing the land. Sunrises with no land in sight. Sunrises framing the land. Thunder and lightning rolling up one side of an island in the distance, putting on a show. Dark skies and the stars. The peace and tranquility of quiet places with just nature and you. Until the sod over the hill turns on their generator. Fresh fish. The feel of sea spray, wind in the ears, the connection to your boat, knowing if things are right just by the feel and sound. And that's just from doing non-ocean-crossing sailing.

counterpoint : I had a max x20 account for the past three months and hit limits just about every period that fell within working hours. I finally cancelled it two days ago due to overspending-guilt/token-grinding guilt, and they shorted me my last day due to an error on their side regarding time zones. It's really so dependent on your workloads. Conversations around token expenditure are wildly different from individual to individual,and workload to workload. Dealing with codebases that require contextual reading due to a lack of training corpus (R/Go/Common Lisp, among others..) EAT context and tokens for breakfast.

__MatrixMan__ 1y ago

I experimented with polyphasic sleep for a few months. It was really interesting to experience time as more continuous, not broken up into days. I gave it up because I found it wasn't very fault tolerant. If I missed a bedtime even by just a few hours, or ate before trying to sleep, I was in a bad state for a day or two until I could get back on track.

> I gave it up because I found it wasn't very fault tolerant. If I missed a bedtime even by just a few hours, or ate before trying to sleep, I was in a bad state for a day or two until I could get back on track. That's what terrifies me about polyphasic sleep at sea. I had a few "cheat" days while attempting this, but of course the safety of myself and others didn't depend on if I hit snooze 5 times in an hour. Claude just got lonely for a bit. It's really an interesting technique and I hope to find and talk with sailors who've done it. Thanks for sharing your experience.
- __MatrixMan__ 1y ago
  On the bright side, those others would have good reason not to give you reasons to deviate from the plan. It was usually social pressure that did me in. People want to meet for coffee or drinks or food at a time when it wasn't well aligned with my nap schedule, and I started making compromises... I suppose something that engages you for hours could appear unscheduled while sailing, but it seems like most sources of such things could be mitigated with adequate planning, and they're unlikely to involve coffee or beer or birthday cake.
  - hattmall 1y ago
    >I suppose something that engages you for hours could appear unscheduled while sailing I would say, generally speaking, that comprises the bulk of the time. Most likely you will spend more time in unscheduled multi-hour long tasks than anything else over the course of an extended trip.

I'm impressed by your determination. A while back, I had a big paper deadline a week away and knew I didn’t have enough time to finish without sacrificing sleep. Rather than cutting my sleep short, I decided to stick with 7–8 hours of rest and instead lengthen my wake window. I worked out a schedule that gave me six nights of sleep across seven days. It meant waking up at stranger and stranger times as the week went on, and getting some odd looks from my roommates when I emerged from my room. But in the end, it was totally worth it. I was waking up well-rested and ready to tackle those extra-long days. The effort paid off 100%. Not only did I make the deadline, but my paper was accepted as well. A year later, that same paper helped me get into my PhD program of choice. It’s funny how these short bursts of intense effort can sometimes have such a big impact. Best of luck with your side hustle!

versteegen 1y ago
I'm surprised to hear that that schedule worked well. Even if you woke feeling well-rested, what did you feel like towards the end of the day, at your normal/previous sleep time? Personally in that situation I would (and do) get plenty of sleep every night and then skip the final night. I find the fatigue from a lot of lost sleep normally doesn't hit me in full until the second day after, and the final-day panic is enough to counteract the lack of sleep.
- mckn1ght 1y ago
  I’ve tried this because I’ve long thought my circadian cycle is just a bit longer than average, where I just don’t feel tired until late at night, and traveling westward feels great because I can take an extra long day. Waking up early on a regular schedule is hard for me generally, like, I can do it but I feel braindead. Eastward jet lag of 3-6 hours is awful if I have to do stuff in the mornings. So I tried a complete “cycle” of 28 hour days until I realigned with the normal day. Which happens to be the same thing GP did. LCM(24, 28) = 168 which is 7 days with 6 cycles. Roughly 19 hours waking and 9 hours sleeping. I did let myself sleep longer instead of holding to 7-8 hours like GP. It definitely felt weird because my wife wasn’t on the schedule, but I didn’t feel super sleep deprived. I’m sure with multiple complete cycles you’d see more adverse effects, so it’s probably best to only do this very sparingly. Maybe napping during the wake period could alleviate issues.

sneak 1y ago
People have been trading off sleep deprivation for productivity for all of human history. It isn’t always about money, and it isn’t always a choice. It is a personal decision to build or destroy one’s body, and while your advice is maybe sound in general, we should avoid generalizing for other people. A little bit of sleep deprivation isn’t life threatening (such as being significantly overweight, or smoking, or consistently eating unhealthy foods). We should avoid over-moralizing to others about the engineering tradeoffs they make in their own lives. Many a family has been enriched by mothers and fathers overworking themselves to build a better life for their children, for example. > Never sacrifice health for money. Never. Every idea that needs to be worked on more than 50 hours a week is an idea not worth working on. If I had taken this advice verbatim in my 20s, I wouldn’t be able to frequently be working 20 hour weeks in my 40s. I would argue that speaking in absolutes like this is actually bad advice. It is frequently a good thing to work yourself to burnout for a year or three if it means you can work at 20% for the following 20 years.

TheCowboy 1y ago

Why isn't simply getting another Claude account an option that you've tried before damaging your brain with low quality sleep? Or writing prompts that get fired off by a script once the usage resets when sleeping so that you at least get some free tokies? I'm sympathetic to wanting to squeeze out what you can to control costs, but this is something that might only seem sustainable because you're too exhausted to fully appreciate the potential deleterious long-term health effects.

handoflixue 1y ago
I believe both behaviors violate the Terms of Service - it's generally frowned on to create multiple accounts to work around usage limits, and I know the TOS prohibited scripted interactions designed to maximize 24/7 usage (the subscriptions are very much based on the assumption that you will "be normal" about them)
- chatmasta 1y ago
  And yet businesses seem to have no trouble paying for multiple accounts. I’m sure OP could register as a business or even recruit a friend to pay for an account on his behalf. I don’t think Anthropic cares as long as you’re paying them for the two accounts…

I would agree but then I think back on the codebases I’ve seen over the years. Ai doesn’t have a monopoly on crappy code and at least if you learn something you can add it to your cursor rules (let’s always follow best practices for security and data protection) Or you can add it as a pre-commit check. Whereas with human devs you can tell them a hundred times and they still won’t listen.

TruePath 1y ago

It is worth remembering that before artificial lighting the normal sleep pattern is to sleep in two segments and get up in the middle to have sex, talk, do some chores, change the baby etc. And I believe a normal sleep cycle is something like 90 minutes so if you *really* sleep in 3 hour chunks that's actually probably healthier than the normal us sleep schedule. I mean many of us find the usual wake at 7am alarm schedule to be pretty damn brutal. However, if what you actually do is kinda lie around check your phone in bed etc and then get blasted awake by an alarm that's a different story.

I think it's the randomness of the rewards that makes AI possibly addictive. It sometimes felt like a slot machine, the way that tweaking a setting or two would get me closer to the goal.

I used to be a polyphasic sleeper so this article interested me but I find myself stuck on the final paragraph. > My velocity has increased 10x and I'm shipping features like a cracked ninja now, which is great because my B2B SaaS is still in stealth mode. Does someone have a good book I can read on stealth mode startups? My B2B SaaS is only small (about $1.25m ARR) but I can't imagine shipping features without someone to use them. We could definitely write a lot more features if our users didn't point out the ways that what we were doing wasn't quite right or didn't fit with the problem we thought we were solving. I can imagine doing the business part, regulatory part or hard tech part of a startup in stealth mode - but what would does it mean to ship features in stealth mode?

jaggederest 1y ago

Aurornis 1y ago
I think that was satire. The entire startup writing world has adopted the idea that you need to ship to actual customers as fast as possible. Developing features in stealth for years is a well-known way to trap yourself into making the wrong thing. That said, I think the startup book, blog, Tweet, and LinkedIn think piece world went a little overboard with the "ship your MVP early" concept. For a while I was seeing little startups proudly ship things that just didn't work or lacked key features. The only real-world feedback they were getting was that the product was incomplete. If you burn your early customers badly, you lose precious advocates. In my opinion you're doing the right thing by shipping features for your customers. It is possible to over-focus on a few vocal customers, though. A common trap for small companies is to get into a relationship with 1 or 2 very vocal customers who will act like they're giving you insights into what the industry wants, but in reality they're just telling you what you want to hear in order to specialize your software for them. It's important to go out and validate the new feature requests with the broader market.

That’s contradicting the promise of AI. the “ai will get it done for you” spirit. Optimizing one’s sleep around rate limits is perhaps worse than “optimizing sleep around my boss’ personal life style”. Besides, are we in a low wedge industry that $180 ($6 per day) is that difficult?

guzik 1y ago

let me piggyback on this thread because maybe there’s a kind soul here who knows the answer. I set up some simple cron jobs in Claude Code that run every few hours. I am on the Pro plan and unfortunately, I cant fully solve this one problem: I keep getting the error: Invalid API key · Please run /login I know there are a lot of github issues about this but most of them dont seem to directly apply. The weird thing is: when I run the exact same command manually in my terminal, it works fine. When run via cron, it fails. I suspect it has something to do with how Claude CLI stores the session token or environment variables, since cron doesn’t run as a full login shell. I already tried wrapping the command in bash -l -c "..." which helps in some cases, but not consistently. Has anyone here figured out a clean, reliable way to run Claude CLI from cron without having to manually relogin every 5 hours or so? Or is it only restricted for paid anthropic API Key?
