For a healthy life, the average human body needs 6–8 hours of sleep per night. Your mood is affected by getting too little sleep, which makes it harder to function. According to experts, a regular sleep schedule of 6–8 hours can enhance mood, cognitive performance, and overall health. However, what if we told you about a man who, for the previous twelve years, slept for just thirty minutes every day? You did indeed read correctly.
According to the South China Morning Post, Daisuke Hori, a Japanese man, has “doubled” his life by sleeping for just 30 minutes a day for the past 12 years. The 40-year-old man from western Japan’s Hyogo prefecture claimed to have trained his body and mind to operate normally on little sleep. Additionally, he asserted that this practice increased his productivity.
Entrepreneur Hori feels that getting good sleep is more important for staying focused than getting a lot of sleep. “Those who require extended periods of focus for their work gain more from quality sleep than duration. For example, firefighters and doctors rest for shorter periods of time but still work very efficiently,” the media outlet stated.
In-depth examination of Hori’s assertions was conducted over the course of three days by Yomiuri TV in Japan as part of the reality series “Will You Go With Me?” Hori once slept for a mere 26 minutes, woke up full of energy, ate breakfast, went to work, and went to the gym, according to the show. Sure, go ahead and visualize that.
In addition, Daisuke established the Japan Short Sleepers Training Association in 2016 and teaches health and sleep education there. More than 2,100 students have learned from him how to sleep extremely short.
Another unique instance involves Thai Ngoc, a Vietnamese man who hasn’t slept in over 60 years. The 80-year-old man says he didn’t sleep well in 1962 after having a fever as a child. Ngoc’s insomnia is unaffected by various forms of therapy or sleeping pills.
