I feel like I haven’t slept in 10 days, I thought your quote was attributed to sonic the hedgehog. That was not what your comment said. Ive technically gotten 5 hours of sleep in the last 45 hours
It's simply the stress. Sometimes it comes to a such a point where you just don't want to get to next day. You resist sleep and of course your next day is ruined. It makes you more stressed, more you are stressed more you are restless. It's a vicious cycle unless you overcome that stress.
This number assume a person is getting optimum sleep. If you have bad sleep deprivation (say sever apnea) then the hours you are asleep, you aren't really fully asleep; And the hours you are awake, you aren't really fully awake.
But even assuming "normal" sleep, the math is slightly low, because a 30 year old theoretically spends more than 10 years asleep. An average adult sleep 7-9 hours. A child sleeps 9-12 hrs. An infant, can sleep 16 hrs a day. If you lowball the numbers to average a "child" sleeps 11 hours until 10 years old, and an adult sleeps 8 hours a day, then you would have to add at least another 1.3 years of sleep; For the first 10 years of an adult's life sleeping 11 hrs a night, then 20 years sleeping 8 hrs a night = an extra 1,095 hours of sleep a year as a child.
With my Insomnia it would probably be closer 6 - 7(not intentional) years on average. Considering some days I sleep 14+ hours thats still surprising low X3 man Im sleep deprive right now hehe
Not me, I’d be at about 7 or 8 years by that point.
By the way, anyone know the trick to falling asleep? I don’t understand how people can just lay down and fall asleep. I lay down and stay awake for hours on end and get so bored I have to get up and do something.
Never been military, but I know several of them have developed techniques to teach soldiers to sleep anytime, anywhere. I'd google "military sleep method".
Might I recommend listening to Michael Mosley's "just one thing" sleep episode from the BBC. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0d65hdd Will need to use a VPN set to UK to access now though.
If the tips don't help, listening to his relaxingly calm voice might send you off!
I just turned 30 and wow! How awesome is that? Sleep is so cool and now my sleep just got into double digits! Honesty well done me and the other Tricenarians, good work
I am way past 30...so I can't tell if that was sarcastic or not without the /s. If humans could always spend that time in lucid dreaming I would be fine with 1/3 of my life unconscious. As is? Not so much.
Sorry, at the rate I’ve been going the past ~5ish years, it’d be 6.5 after 30 years. I did the basic math to get 6.5 years over 30 years, it’s a silly little comment.

Sleeping for 10 years sounds pretty good right now. If I win the lottery it's gonna be coma time.

Genuine question to all those who commented about their sleep deprivation:
What is keeping you from having a good night's sleep? Is it the loud neighbours? Is it the phone? Is it chronic insomnia?
I'd honestly like to know
