How do you trump your body /ic/?
I'm reading Bridgman tired, and I'm having a lot of trouble understanding anything. Whenever I'm tired, it's like my IQ drops 30 points.

sleep early, early rise and study before work instead.

Readjust your schedule so that your job is the last thing you do for the day. So that it's just home, shower, bed, then you get a good few hours in the early morning to do what you want without being dead on your feet.

Had the same problem, bruv.

What the other anons said. There really isn't anything you can do once your body quits on you. Your best bet is to try to sleep as early as possible and get your drawing in before work.

The human body only needs about 1-3 hours of sleep to survive just sleep for that time and spend the hours you would of spent sleeping on studying to get better.

Yeah, to survive.
I don't know about thinking, but you'll definitely be alive, and that's all you'll be.

That sounds like a solid plan.
I think I'll pick this up from now on and see how it works out.

I run pretty messed up off of 6 hours of sleep, and I'm 19.

Does it get easier with age, or were you already pulling crazy hours?

I distinctly remember having a friend that had insomnia, and he could stay up for 2 days and be totally fine.

I do not recommend trying to cut sleep. People that say they only sleep like 4 or 6 hours are full of shit and dont keep track of their hours.

I do recommend that you just wake up early enough to study before you go to work. I know it is a pain to reset ur sleep schedule like that, but I find I am more effective when awake and alert. My job i can do dead tired and not vary as much in performance.

I'm not him but I find the reverse has happened. In high school I ran off 6 hours sleep just fine, often getting less than that. Eventually it would start to catch up to me but I was able to function on very little sleep for stretches at a time.

Now that I'm a bit older though I find I need at least 7, ideally 8 hours of sleep, perhaps even more. It used to bother me, but I see it as being an extra hour or two of sleep leads to increased productivity that outweighs if I had tried to work those hours instead of sleeping.

High school is piss easy though. You don't even have to eat and you'll make a 100.

True, but I'm talking about just general energy levels and wakefulness/functioning.
