SteveP is a freak of nature. Not in the sense that he's deformed but that he either has the kind of willpower and concentration on long-term goals to do these insane things of his(graduate from a CSU with a dual major in CS and math in 3 semesters, go vegan, now this...), or he's insane and has managed to decieve the world for over a decade on how much he has triumphed over "the norm." He did run a shareware game business for some time, and the games were pretty good - not groundbreaking but sellable and well-marketed, and he had decent advice to other indies on how to run such a business....but every time I see his site come up I start having to wonder if he's for real. He just seems TOO PERFECT. STOP OVERACHEVING, STEVE.
i go to sleep around 12:00-1:00, wake up at around 6:10-6:30. not as extreme as this guy, and not the same sleeping pattern, but this sounds like a fun summer project. school gets in the way of everything...school and chores.
I have read in many articles that Margaret Thatcher only slept 4 hours a night. Not sure if this was her method or if she napped during the day. I have also read that she was becoming very unconnected with reality towards the end of her time as Prime Minister. She is still very much alive though; in her late eighties I think.
if you do this you wont grow up specially young people dont you dare to try this posted by ice2004 (0) at 07:06 PM 1/13/06 Your comment is 100% acurrate. I'm 21 However I get comments from people everytime I meet someone, How old are you? So I let them take a guess... Range of age 12-16 tops and almost no one says around 16, My body and face looks so young, I can match my grade school pictures if I shave and comb my hair the way I did.I started while I was in school, I blame the internet ;D Slept at school when ever I got the chance (during class) Got home and was refreshed for that days coding.The benifits of this however is... Once life finds a way and forcefully ages me, By the time I'm like I don't know... 32+ I'll be hitting 20? (Body Wise). Hopefully anyways...
