I usually go to bed at 1:30 - 2 am and wake up at 5:30 - 6 am. I have so much to do and I don’t like feeling like I’m wasting my time.

    Insomniac or someone with bad sleep habits. Lack of sleep is damaging to overall health and can cause issues with your brain function as a normal sleep cycle is important to flush toxic components from the brain according to studies. While it is possible to function on less sleep than ideal, it is overall detrimental. Modern sleep habits are not normal for human biology, humans are phasic sleepers with two separate periods of sleep as a matter of evolutionary biology for defense and fire keeping.

    We are in a transitory period where we are still adjusting biologically to societal/cultural needs that dictate a dedicated 8 hour sleep schedule but haven’t evolved to fully naturalize that behavior.

    Insomniac? Parent of a small child? But you do you. If that’s the amount of sleep your body needs, consider yourself fortunate and enjoy your additional time. Just don’t overdo it and then burn out or something…
