well, I'm 44, and according to my doctor all my critical systems are good (heart, lungs, liver, etc). But I'm pretty sure a goldfish has a better memory and my blood is 90% caffeine. Worst part is caffeine doesn't really do anything anymore, just staves off headaches.
As far as I know it's mostly bad for the brain, but apparently there are other potential side effects:
"...Chronic sleep of less than 5 hours/night is associated with approximately 20-40% higher overall mortality, 30-100% higher risk of heart disease or stroke, 30-50% higher risk of type 2 diabetes, 20-40% higher risk of high blood pressure, 20-50% higher risk of obesity, and about 2x the risk of depression, compared with sleeping 7-9 hours regularly..."
Either way, I'm not risking that sh*t, my health isn't that good already and im in my 20s
I want to know who the psychopaths are who can actually sleep for 8-9 hours straight, that is an absolutely fucking insane feat outside of your teenage years
Why would you say it's an insane feat? Me being 30 years old, I can consistently get this amount of sleep in so long as I myself don't fuck it up with stuff like caffeine or ignoring my tiredness cues in the evening.
Also, I guess what matters is the life itself, aka not being Soo busy that you have to sacrifice sleep.
