Want to sleep 2 hours a day? Try this..

DirectoryKing · 04-20-2009, 08:17 AM

I really need a method to get good sleep at anytime. I spend about almost 4hrs in bed before I can even sleep.

rdbranson · 04-21-2009, 04:06 PM

Thanks Ken for the Capsaicin post. I believe exercise and keeping fit is the best for me to keep me alert.
Don't cayenne capsules have side effects?

yosis · 04-24-2009, 03:28 AM

I think not eating for about 3-4 hours before bed is a good way to be relaxed. And you'll wake up hungry and ready to eat a good breakfast. Many people skip breakfast because they're eating too late.

David Campbell · 04-24-2009, 07:00 AM

I've heard from numerous sources that NOT eating later in the evening is generally a good idea. That way your body isn't busy all night trying to digest a meal. That's one less thing thing for it to be doing in the middle of the night, and your digestive tract can enjoy the rest as well.

On the other hand, there have been times when a light snack of COMPLEX carbohydrate (brown rice in my case, with a bit of something to flavor it) around 9pm has helped me to sleep. Carbs are apparently calming.

Re: cayenne, spicy foods. I'm a big fan of hot peppers - cayenne, hot paprika, habaneros, etc. But I've found that eating spicy food, even as early as 6pm, reduces the quality of my sleep. So, yes, I can see using spicy food to help you stay awake, but the aftereffects might be an issue for some.

Also - cayenne, hot paprika, sweet paprika, most peppers such as green peppers, red peppers, jalapenos, etc. (except black pepper) are members of the nightshade family of plants. Nightshades also include white potatoes (not sweet potatoes), tomatoes, tobacco, and eggplant, as well as peppers.

The nightshades apparently ALL contain toxic alkaloids such as solanine and nicotine in varying amounts. Solanine, for one, can build up in your system over time.

(From what I've read, solanine is found heavily in greenish potatoes and in potato eyes. They say that eating a cup's worth of potato eyes - ?!?! - can apparently kill a person. So if you're going to eat potatoes, cut out the eyes, and toss the green ones. In England, I've read that the stores won't even sell greenish potatoes and many more people are aware of the green potato / solanine issue.)

As if toxicity wasn't enough of a concern, the alkaloids in cayenne, in the peppers, potatoes, etc., tend to cause inflammation in the body. Which, in turn, tends to promote arthritis, joint aches, mood effects, other health issues, etc.

I learned about this when I was in my mid-thirties. I was getting arthritis in my hands so badly that I sometimes had trouble getting a good grip on the steering wheel of my car. My hands felt as if I were wearing stiff, heavy mittens. I was also eating lots of potatoes, lots of spicy food loaded with cayenne, pepper sauces, and the like. I was even taking capsules of cayenne pepper now and then - it supposedly helps to ward off colds, but seems like a fairly dumb idea in retrospect.

When I completely gave up the potatoes and peppers, the arthritis went away quite quickly. (I've recently read that it takes up to 12 weeks / 3 months of going TOTALLY and completely without nightshades for your body to clear itself of the toxins and for you to be able to see whether the nightshades are an issue for you or not.)

So if you're going to experiment with cayenne, etc., you might want to be aware of the possible side effects.

Hi , I thought everyone's body is different.
More generally, though, exercising regularly is supposed to improve your sleep, strengthen your immune system and give you more energy overall.

CocoChanelle · 04-24-2009, 08:13 AM

you might sleep well, but what will that do to your stomach and eventually your colon?

aparadekto · 04-25-2009, 04:18 AM

Sleep only 4-5 hours straight and do "power naps" (google it) the rest of the day. Of course do this on heavy workload days only, max of 2 weeks.

imventures · 04-25-2009, 04:55 AM

Yep, a bowl of strong chilli will keep me up all night, but I normally spend the time sitting on the marble throne.

Tried polyphasic sleep because of the promise of less sleeping time. But I felt like hell, and pretty spaced out during the extra waking hours, so decided to stop.

I think we have all evolved with the need for about 6-8 hours of sleep, so no point fighting it. There could be really serious consequences as in the medical studies mentioned earlier.

Joseph Then · 04-25-2009, 05:08 AM

I bought an ebook before on how you can sleep only 4 hours a day and it's perfectly fine. Sailors have only 4-5 hours of sleep and they are still looking fine.

It has to do with the rhythm of sleep. Each of us will start with state one, go to state two, state three. At state three it is considered the deep sleep. state four is the sub-consciousness. State 4 should be the state of waking up.

One has to fine the right hour of waking up everyday, which is the state 4 of sleep.

Then, everyday, you have to be in contact with the sunlight at least one hour.

And, if possible, at least 30mins of nap in the afternoon.

If you can do that, you can achieve 4 hours of sleep per night.

I never tried that, but I do agree with the 4 states of sleep rhythm.

soon · 04-25-2009, 05:34 AM

I am not an expert in sleep disorders but from what I know meditation can really help you reduce the time of sleep with some hours. However I am absolutely sure that trying to reduce this time by to much, might cause seriously health problems in the future.

Not to talk about the hot spicy noodle thing. Maybe it works for you now but imagine the problems you will have when you are at an old age.

igorhelpsyousucceed · 04-25-2009, 06:16 AM

Once I had no sleep at all during the night,
and had to work the next morning. I went to work
and the one thing I can remember is that during the
work someone brought me a Spicy hot chilly dog and
a cup of Turkish black coffee both very HOT and
I was boosted to a whole hour of RoadRunner kind energy.

I ran around the office and had no clue what to do!

lol!

Sleep is a routine for me...the more i sleep the more i need it...the less, less

ideasquare · 05-11-2009, 02:37 AM

Sometimes, the body sees it as a "Stress" situation and overcompensates by pumping more adrenalin into your system. So, you feel more alert and awake.

The Human body is an amazing biological machine and it sometimes works in strange ways.

Doing this regularly will kill your metabolism and cause you to gain weight, reduce the clarity of your skin, and lead to a bunch of other nasty side effects. 8-9 hours of sleep is natural, don't mess with it.

Li Weng · 05-12-2009, 07:22 AM

hmmmmm I actually like sleeping. I need to sleep
at least 9 hours every day.

mavischan · 08-14-2009, 12:54 AM

i remember the last time i slept for 1 hour is during my final year project.I have no other choice because i have pass up the project.But that time i dont eat any chili foods.may b next time can try this.

Steve Porcaro · 08-14-2009, 01:34 AM

Cannot explain it, but for me it is all based on the level of excitement in my life...bottom line....when ideas and actions are exciting who the heck can sleep?.............when they are status quo it is easy to get into routines

morry · 08-14-2009, 02:20 AM

If only I could survive on 2 hours a night, I'd get so much more done. If I get less than 7-8 hours I struggle by the afternoon.

I know some guys in the army who did some sleep deprivation training and after a couple of days kinda lost it, took off their clothes and started to walk home (was in the middle of the bush).

Definitely not something to be messed with long term

Regular sleeping is good to our health, so don't abuse your body,give more time to sleep.

markshields · 08-14-2009, 09:10 AM

I once had a business partner who used to sleep just 3 hours per night and he used to tell me that anything after those 3 hours was not needed as in his opinion that time was simply spent dreaming

mtreid · 08-14-2009, 04:22 PM

I've been sleeping 5 hours a night for years. I do yoga postures and/or jogging at least 6 days a week. And mentally keep fit also. When your mind and body are both in great shape, it keeps you from being sluggish mentally and physically.

robhil03 · 08-14-2009, 04:43 PM

This is all such good advice, I really appreciate it all. I have such anxiety and can't sleep at night. It's of course, all about money. Thanks for everyone's information on here.
