The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

That's pretty amazing. I imagine any sleep specialist would be very interested in you. A sleep study would investigate how much you sleep but also your cognitive function after deprivation (despite how it may feel, in other words gauging your performance objectively with and without sleep). What stands out isn't necessarily your reduced hour need for sleep but your added ability to function without sleep for the extended periods you've mentioned here. Wild.
People have said the same to me before. I’ve learned over years just how to deal with it, but never resolved it in any way to bring it into balance with what might be considered “normal.” I don’t have any problems being productive and don’t function like a zombie without normal sleep.
