In relation to your bottom paragraph: I play a text based online game where activity is extremely important and I often only have 3 or 4 hours of sleep every day, and even that is broken in to chunks so I can be online every 3 hours - and this is for the past 5 and a half years. Outside of the obvious physical and mental stress it can put you under, you are perfectly right when you say that it takes time to perfect, at first I was tired from having 8 hours of sleep, now I can have 3 hours of sleep per night, wake up and operate at 100%. I'm not sure when, but somewhere along the line I lost the need for sleep, I don't get tired any more or yawn and even on nights where I can sleep as long as I want, I find myself only wanting 4 or 5 hours anyway. I'm without a doubt the highest ranked player on the game, fought for through perseverance and a refusal to let my ego take a hit, but was it worth it? I'm not sure.

Please note though you can train yourself to sleep only 4 hours a day, it doesn't mean you must. What I mean to say is, rest is essential to any long term productive endeavor. I think athletes and gym freaks can attest to this. How much you rest and how quickly recover from stress can decide how productive while you are awake. And probably affects your larger health situation on the longer run too. >>but was it worth it? I'm not sure. I won't comment on your habits and whats important to you. But speaking objectively. I would say its bad use of time. If you are in need of entertainment, which demands a lot of engaging activity I would advice you start to learn playing a music instrument. Again not risking your health in the course of it, but music is a liberating experience. Especially if you learn how to play yourself. It can be very joyful. And its generally a good skill to have and a lot better than fighting for internet points.
