- Portaljacker, on 07/09/2009, -3/+394Does anyone realize that this is a story from the '40s?
- inactive, on 11/06/2007, -2/+227Two hours awake is plenty.
- sockpuppets, on 10/22/2007, -5/+190Oldest repost evar.
- formergthing, on 10/22/2007, -1/+127Funny, they're talking about shortening the war in the article - I guess some things never change.
- formergthing, on 11/06/2007, -3/+116Yea two hours sounds good ... let me just make sure my .... yep, I am well supplied with crack - shouldn't be a problem.
- contact287, on 10/11/2007, -1/+87I've heard of submitting old stories, but damn 64 years old?
- Sagags, on 11/06/2007, -2/+71"Life-insurance doctors who examined him found him sound as a nut"
Sound as a nut? So he is nuts now. - ziffel, on 10/11/2007, -2/+47I just fell in love with you.
- penguinshome, on 10/11/2007, -0/+44...and now introducing the 22 hour workday!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+44I'd like to try it, but my username says otherwise.
- eridius, on 10/11/2007, -1/+41This sounds like Polyphasic sleep.

- xero040486, on 11/06/2007, -17/+53Hacker? How precisely did he 'hack' sleep? Did he perhaps obtain it's root password via illicit means?
For ***** sake people, doing something differently does not mean you're 'hacking' it. - Lewie, on 10/22/2007, -3/+35Chuck Norris.
- mikeruiz7, on 11/06/2007, -2/+32I can hear the slogans already.
Insomnia... It's Futurific! - djaoki, on 11/06/2007, -3/+32Sleep...it's what the Commies want you to do.
- dotlizard, on 10/11/2007, -3/+31sleep deprivation is a proven torture technique. eventually, you go mad. you know, like a meth-head.
seriously, i worked three jobs for awhile, and lived on cat-naps when i could catch them. i was fine except for the fact i couldn't actually think, and when driving at night was plagued by little apparitions scurrying around my peripheral vision (i used to call it "the mice are runnin' in the road again" to make it sound cute)
sleep is optional, sure -- depending on your priorities in life. if cognitive abilities such as not hallucinating are important to you, probably sleep should be too. - robwilkens, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26Speaking as a certified nut who once spent 5 days wide awake in a psych ward, yes.
- seanmc303, on 10/11/2007, -1/+25Try to explain this one to your boss after he catches you napping on your keyboard.
- signal15, on 10/11/2007, -2/+25Edison did the same thing, it's called the Uberman sleep schedule and it's fairly well documented. In fact, there have been stories about it on Digg before. Somewhere, a blogger tries it for a month or two and keeps a journal.
- moonty, on 10/11/2007, -0/+23With good reason--it is.
- bitslayer, on 10/11/2007, -4/+24Buried as old news. ;)
- kenok, on 10/22/2007, -0/+20True.
2hrs sleep a day IS plenty. Just do this around 12 times a day. - joeshlub, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20I think, perhaps, you didn't RTFA.
- cjsedwards, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18The difference is he doesn't stay up for 24 hours, then sleep 2, he sleeps every 6 hours or so for half an hour at a time
- Magesmaximus, on 10/22/2007, -6/+23He sounds like he was on the edge, forever. Plus who doesn't enjoy sleep.
- bupublue, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18This article was funny. Next someone needs to find an equally informative article on the wonders of blood-letting and Dr. Humbleburger's Fabulous Snake Oil. Here's something interesting the doctors of the 21st century have to say about sleep:
http://diabetes.webmd.com/features/diabetes-sleep-connection - ummagummas08, on 11/06/2007, -0/+13Yea, this reminds me of Polyphasic Sleeping. I wish I could do it, but you can't go to school 'until your fatigue' runs out and go to sleep. Not unless your teachers actually believed you were doing something .. productive.. or something.
It just doesnt work in the real world, unless you're working for yourself. - tech42er, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Nazis; The article is from '43.
- texxmexx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/10/polyphasic-sleep/
Here's a very detailed polyphasic sleep journal. The rest of the site is quite good too. - Tiak, on 11/06/2007, -0/+12Gotta love when digg's ads contradic tthe article:
See "Get the facts at sleep-deprivation.com" ad... (It features an attractive female. and thus gets past my internal ad-ignoring filters) - mrgeekguy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12If the cops didn't take my meth lab, I wouldn't have to sleep at all!
- vuke69, on 10/22/2007, -0/+11Odd, usually the password to the back door is KY.
- rick2k, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11this has set a new standard for old storys
- timdorr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10I had one of my employees try Uberman's for a while. While he said he didn't have a problem transitioning to it, he found keeping it up was the hard part. He just plain got bored and found sleep was an easy way to take up the time.
- fritzbrown, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10I think, perhaps, you didn't understand TFA. Maybe you need more...sleep?
- mrmagenta, on 10/22/2007, -2/+12this post is so old, when i read "samuel Johnson" i thought Samuel Jackson smoking again
- smokewater, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13I didn't get all the details on the story, but apparently it had something to do with a hacker called Prisonbubba, who used a brute-force attack on the victims backdoor to cause the victim to get only 2 hours of sleep. Some hacking.
- gatorfreak, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11We can live with a lot less food than we eat too... but eating and sleeping are two of life's great pleasures.
- inactive, on 10/22/2007, -2/+10Chuck Norris doesn't sleep. He waits.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8hey its seinfeld all over again
- valbaca, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8"I'll sleep when I'm dead"?
- Jugalator, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Exactly... Just FYI for those who like to skip researching, this sleep schedule involves taking about 30-45 minute naps every 3-4 hours or so, and skipping a nap can be pretty bad. With the sum ending up 2-5 hours per 24 hours. So it's not that useful for someone who has something like a regular job or so. That would take a very kind boss, or someone at work not at all keeping themselves informed about what you do. ;) Hmm, maybe it can work if you ARE the boss.
- protohiro, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7So has this article.
- ninja0, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7i agree. sleep is a screwed up thing.. sometimes i feel more refreshed with less than 8 hrs, sometimes i feel dead...
- knellotron, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Dugg simply for being Buckminster Fuller related.
best human evar. - relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -2/+9This guy is ***** dead.
- Giga, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7That means we can swap the weekdays and weekends around, since we can fit the 40 hour week in 2 days.
- Giga, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Boring? You generally aren't aware of anything unless you are dreaming, and some dreams can be pretty cool.
- honus, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10REM sleep is restful sleep and in your first two hours you generally don't experience REM. Frequency of bouts of REM increases over the hours slept, which frequently results in the well-rested feeling.
There's a good chance this guy just didn't need a lot of sleep. -
