My dad only needed 4 hours of sleep.
He worked 12-16 hour days, went to grad school at night, and still managed to run or hit the gym every day. He was never tired, and actively tried to cut back on his sleeping time.
Now he has diabetes, and the doctors are nearly 100% convinced it was due to a lifetime of lack of sleep.
Beware.

- brandonmenc 11y agoWell, he had no other risk factors. No family history, life-long Mediterranean diet, never drank more than just a couple glasses of wine a year, lots of physical activity, low body fat (like, pretty jacked actually), perfect blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. Sure, there could be something genetic that never presented itself in any other family member, but the lack of sleep is what stuck out most to the doctors.
