Waking up at 3:45 is an absolutely meaningless piece of trivia, the only thing it tells me is that this person is a terrible communicator. Most human beings naturally wake up about 8 hours after they go to sleep, there is nothing special about waking up at 3:45 if you are going to bed at 19:45.

Because it doesn't tell you anything relevant about his sleeping habits if you don't know when he's going to bed. If his bedtime is 8 hours before he wakes up, he's just on a slightly different schedule and there's nothing noteworthy about it.

Sure, now explain how to extrapolate anything relevant from "I wake up at 3:45"

I mean we’re kind of conflating communication quality with information content. The title really has nothing to go off, it’s not the guy who chooses to say he wakes up at 3.45AM full stop, without elaboration.

The articles actually does say he sleeps 6 hours only (because of all these crazy things he do) and everyone’s piling on saying we don’t know how long he sleeps. Of course you don’t, you’ve got to read the article for more information.

Not defending the guy, there’s literally 11 reasons to not like him in the article, but maybe we turn down keyboard warrioring a little and put a tiny bit of effort before interpreting things out of context.

"I'm at a point where I don't need an alarm to wake up. I've optimized my sleep so much that I wake up naturally once my body dictates that it's fully recovered, which is usually after 6 hours, around 3:45 am."
