Please make this a series and monitor your vitals. Maybe routine cognitive tests would be a fun thing to do, like memory games or playing 10 games on lichess bullet daily, so we could track if the microsleeping is effective or not.

Having Claude help write the tracking/monitoring application would be an additional bonus.

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. You'll be reluctant to listen now. But…

Some of the happiest and most satisfied people I know are academics who work 80+ hours a week because they love what they do. You don't need to sacrifice health to work more than 50 hours a week. And realistically there is no long term health damage from what he is doing. And yes you can trade money for better health, though in the first world you rapidly hit diminishing returns but if your sleep deprivation can make…

It may reduce your life span by 50%, but when you consider it improves your productivity by 100x, it means you lived more of a life than those that didn't.

(Also, I'm assuming this post is a joke, but some of the comments here seem to ve taking it seriously)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 e…

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 compl…
