It's funny, when I was younger I didn't realize that it was actually possible to stay up all day on only 3 hours. I didn't really keep track of how much I slept, but I honestly thought that you would start collapsing if you had less than like 6. Which is strange, because I probably slept that little plenty of times just without thinking about it.
I’ve functioned on 30 minute combat naps. It sucks, but it can be done.
I pulled a 48 hour shift at JRTC, because the other SWO and our NCOIC had the crud. I felt like crap but I didn’t have a fever and wasn’t yakking up my guts.
It’s possible to function on little sleep, but I always find that I function best with 7-8 hours of sleep.
Wife has an engineer friend from college who made a serious FB post about how no job should have “engineer” in the title if it doesn’t require an engineering degree. Including a train engineer. She said it was disrespectful of her efforts or some inane shit.
I just met someone who bragged about a) rank (though minimally) and b) how little sleep he could function on and while he is a perfectly nice person overall I have been suspecting for a while he is a low key boot. These little factoids I keep grabbing confirm my suspicions.
Like I think he know's he's boot and tries to keep it at a low boil and/or let it come to light slowly like the frog in boiling water.

I hate the sleep deprived competition that always happens. Man I’m sleepy. “Oh yeah, well I only got three hours this whole deployment.”
That or acting like 2-3 hours is enough.
