I aim to get 8 hours of sleep each night, but usually end up with 6-7 or less at least a few nights each week. Would I be better off training myself to get only 6 hours each night, so I could get more done at night or in the morning? Is that even possible on a long-term basis? It seems like mothers need to do it for at least a few years, so it must be possible, right?
I think the Rambam says that each hour of sleep before chatzos halailah counts as double, so if you want to get the equivalent of 8 hours, you could go to sleep at 10:30 and wake up at 4:30. Not a great idea to go to sleep late and try to get up early. That’s often burning the candle at both ends.
If you feel rested and can function on less sleep then by all means sleep less, but if not, then you need to get the amount of sleep that your body needs. How old are you? Teenagers need more sleep usually than adults because they are growing.
Sleep is a bad habit. Very bad. You can’t things done while seeping, can you?
It’s a bad habit brought on by selfish mothers, who want to keep their babies quiet. So they put them to sleep. That’s how people get the habit for sleep.
It seems like mothers need to do it for at least a few years, so it must be possible, right?
Yes, mothers do it. But they catch up by falling asleep as soon as kidush is made by the Shabbos table or other inopportune times. And they have a hard time not falling asleep at their desk at work.
What’s sleep? Is that like what people do on Shabbos afternoon?
No 42,its what mods do on weekdays.

Nechomah: We generally don’t listen to the Rambam’s medical advice, but I don’t think he said that anyway. He did say to get 8 hours a night though.
so how come there are so many teenage zombies roaming around
There are plenty of of teenagers who never go to bed earlier then 3 or 4… Also for those of us who have gone to seminary, we have a whole year of sleep to catch up on, but not enough time to make it up! It’s quite complicated! 😉 I know for myself though that I can get tunz of sleep but still be a zombie! I’m always tired!
heck yeah my sis went to sem and her roomates would not shut up so she found a closet and pulled her bed into the closet and slept there
