Fascinating video on a man who hasn't slept for 61 years!

[nywaw]

 80 years old, no sleep for 61+ years, 70 cigarettes and 1/2 liter of rice wine EVERY DAY! 

Watching the video, I think he "rests" for 1-2 hours a day, maybe he sleeps a little but very little if at all.  I can't get over how he can smoke and drink that much and still be alive.  Unreal!

I rarely get 7 or 8 hours of Sleep. I usually  go to sleep around 10pm. And pop up around Midnight or so. Martial Arts Training for an hour or so. And Coffee as well. That is why members will see my posts pop up around 1.30am or so.

   Back to Bed and up by 6.30-7am. Been doing this for many years now.

I knew a guy who had insomnia. he never really slept. he didn't smoke or drink but had to constantly snack all day long. if he didn't eat his body would pretty much shutdown he said.

I'll never understand how anyone falls asleep while hunting. You wait all year to maybe have 20-30 sits each fall to hunt, and then people doze off! it blows my mind.

I work 120+ hrs a week for 10 months. If I’m in a stand or a blind I’m falling asleep.

i totally get it. your mind shuts off all the day to day garbage that taxes it. if i nod off for literally a couple minutes or less I feel like I slept all night. it's insane. i definitely don't doze off like some people. i just went bear hunting with a guy that dozes all the time. he actually missed an opportunity this trip because he did.

No idea how you get up, do all that and go back to bed.  I sleep 6 hours a night or so, am full bore mentally with my job all day.  If I stop, I'll crash and want to sleep so I just keep going.

Investment banker? you seem too old to still have such a junior level position.

[Buckmaster7600]

We’re so short staffed that the State has basically turned their head to our rules for how many hours we can work. For the last 6 months or so I’ve set my schedule so I only drive to work once a week and stay for seven 8 hour shifts and head home after 56hrs straight. It’s really not that bad and I’ve gotten very used to it.

Work for the state and have my own business. I’m debt free and will be retired completely by 45.

Wow. I'm shocked the state allows, but i'm not too familiar with how unions and stuff work. If you don't mind the hours, congrats on the early retirement!

 All that work has to catch up with you. Now,I understand  why you wrote that you gave up all Physical Training after getting out of the Marines.

  Hope you retire at age 45.

   Just so you know- once you hit your early 50s you will find that you will need more Rest and downtime- 2 Jobs or not. By age 60 and after- even more so.

    All through my 20s,I would work 8 hours in backbreaking Warehouse Labor- then drive to the weightlifting Gym for 1 Hour of Heavy Lifting. Drive home for Dinner. Then 7pm to 9.15pm,I was in the Dojo training  with well some were total beasts. Home and Sleep around 6 hours.

  Maybe it is good there were Zero Turkeys in my area until,I saw one at age 30 or that would have been added in. 

 Oh- and hope for a Date on Friday.
