    How is it possible for Tzaddikim to manage to live on only 4 hours of sleep a day? It should be vice versa, they need more sleep then a regular person,-due to age & how busy they are from meeting people & traveling all over the world speaking & going to Simchas etc…-the Message From Hashem is, that Hashem created each day with 24 hours & divided it up into 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work & then the remaining 8 hours for family time & chores BUT if you can show Hashem that you can spend your time wisely-& fill it with Ruchnius (spirituality) like Tzaddikim-without the need of work , then Hashem will not need to fill your day with chores, hard work & 8 full hours of sleep. These Tzaddikim/Leaders-that are sent to guide us in every generation-wake up every morning with full strength, ready to learn & serve Hashem although they only slept a few hours. Dovid Hamelech woke up every morning at midnight & sang praises to Hashem without stopping until Sunrise.

    Aren’t these the questions one must ask Erev Shabbos…

    Is there a Hillel here?… …A very important question you have asked…

    And the answer is – it depends if the computer is on or not!!

    On an average night? Far too few.

    On a good night? Even fewer.

    These days? Zero, usually.

    Sam2:

    If it’s too few on an average night, why is fewer better, as is implied by “On a good night?”

    Or rather, what’s making those good nights good?

    Depends what time the sun rises the following morning.

    unless you sleep about 12 hours, then the LESS you sleep the easier it is for you to wake up, due to your body metabolism not being shut down for that long.

    due to being in the business of a night worker & early morning worker I deal all year long with very few hours of sleep & I’m actually LESS tired then if I had slept 8 hours, due to my metabolism only being shut down for 4 hours

    “How is it possible for Tzaddikim to manage to live on only 4 hours of sleep a day? It should be vice versa, they need more sleep then a regular person”

    A regular person gets more than that? (And here I was thinking I was a normal person)

    “BUT if you can show Hashem that you can spend your time wisely”

    Does posting at 3am count?
