I am writing down a schedule.

4 h of sleep.
1 h of chilling and 1 h for exercising.

Yep. I've been awake 36 hours, and have been sleeping every other day lately.

Make sure to consume antioxidants and avoid caffeine except at the 26 hour mark. Guarana seed (and possibly yerba mate or green tea), combined with cacao, and in this sleep deprived state seems to remove mental clutter and various superfluous checks. Information uptake is rapid, its structuring is more efficient, and it's integrated and smoothed out on the fly in the background. Very little conscious overhead.

To restate. Consume antioxidants. You're net destroying your body by preventing proper melatonin and mitotic cycles, removal of waste, so on. Efflux of garbage through the BBB is enhanced at night, but not nearly as much if you're not actually sleeping. So offset it accordingly. I used to do this more when I was a teenager and only used the aforementioned, but now I'd also recommend adding acetyl-L-carnitine, n-acetyl-cysteine, vitamins C and E, and Co-Q10.

Sleep deprivation can be a useful tool / state.

It wouldn’t. Not everyone wants to be an academic. Not everyone likes this. Not everyone is fond of a math-CS-physics heavy curriculum. This doesn’t account for literature and art, which while this board will meme about, are important.

The big nail in the coffin is that some people actually believe the majority of the population have the task saliency to actually do this. Learn some perspective: your intuition and focus were honed. People don’t have such security in their skills when they’re young

After delivery of the umbilical cord there's a lot of blood left in it for a while. The process of it being delivered to the baby is called placental transfer, and it can constitute as much as 40% of an infant's iron stores and the blood isn't extra, it's the infant's blood. After delivery the lungs require time to adjust to breathing, clear fluid from everything and so on. During this time the umbilical cord is pulsating and is the primary means of gas transfer to the infant's circulation. After the blood is transferred the umbilical cord goes limp and lays flat.

Right now, and since the 50's, they wait ~45 maximum, and then clamp the cord long before full transfer. The best reasoning I can find is that it "lowers the risk of neonatal jaundice", which
a) is trivial to treat
b) after a bit of digging all I could really find was one study showing the risk of jaundice with early cord clamping was 3%. With delayed cord clamping, it was 5%. Barely distinguishable from statistical noise.

When you add to that a vitamin K shot which thickens the infant's already hypoxic blood, and contains aluminum... You're either retarded or you're trying to harm it. This is what people should be pointing out when they make fun of medicine for rote memorization.

No you'll burn out. I'm in medical school and while the classes are really easy in that their is alot to memorize. Roughly 16hrs of lecture material a week is serious.
If you end up studying all day, 99% chance you will dick around about 1/3 or 1/4 of each hour making alot of your studying useless. And studying till late ALWAYS is a bad idea its so fucking tempting. Waking up early to study is also very tempting but you will be really fucking tired by 7pm.
Get sleep, get lots of sleep. Study at the EARLIEST availible convience. keep lunch and snacks with you, and have your lunch be easy to eat where you dont need to microwave or use to many utensils otherwise you end up fucking around with food and clean up and taking way longer breaks than needed.

You can do that but your sleep deprivation will nullify about half of the time you spend studying. Make sure you get your 7-8 hours of sleep and you'll offset those 3-4 lost hours. You also didn't include any daily routines like hygiene and eating. If that's what you meant by "chilling" then you're in for a surprise, friendo. I have found 9 hours of studying a day to be optimal; with 8 hours of sleep, that leaves me 7 hours to fit in exercise, commuting, and "chilling."

I've been studying so many times and I finished my degree. One thing I learnt is that no matter what, you can't really study something without a good break for longer than 3-4 hours. As someone already said, your attention will fly away while your subconsciousness will struggle to fully process what you pumped into your brain over those 4 hours. Can't really get away from that.

I went to sleep ~8 hours ago. Just woke up.

It's nothing very interesting, I just wanted to get a lot done. Programming, cleaned my house, read anything and everything. There's also an aspect of truth. Sleep deprivation pulls away the veil and the distortions and you begin to live on a lower layer, there's a great clarity even just strictly visually, looking at the arrangement of objects and their relative positions. Hard to describe. It's not as though the world becomes more solid and defined, but it's related to that. Some part of the mind fades and closes, but another angle opens.

I used to do this a lot as a teenager, more successfully. I'm probably going to be doing it more. As other posters have stated though, sleep is important. Use sleep deprivation wisely if at all.

No. I got paid to study, and although I'm bad at it, after a few hours your brain hurts, and after 6-8 you are fried and will not learn more. Brain's have a finite capacity for storing information in a useful way. If you have a very specific mental defect you may record information at alarming rates, but you likely won't have other defects which enable automatic use of it.

Additionally, as much as you can learn, if you're only learning it via rehearsal/rote, you will be more prone to forgetting it and there's a cost of access for searching and using it, which gets tiring. It takes more time for it to become habitual/automatic memory, and it is a skill that is hard to develop, if at all, intentionally.

A concrete example, Henry Ford's work into determining optimal work hours found 30 hours a week for more mentally tasking labor, and 40 for more physical labor. This would translate into about 6 hours per day, which in my experience is about the most you could manage. Maybe you could push it to 7-8 if you did it in 3-4 hours, nap, 3-4 more hours. Incorporation would be limited because you wouldn't be spending time practicing it. For full effectiveness, probably alternating days of studying and practice would be effective, so one day is spent studying, then next, 0.5-2 hours reviewing and 4-6 hours practicing, then repeat or spend the next day off.

Literally your brain takes the shape of how we process the information, so learning is inherently limited by the time it takes for the brain to rewire itself to optimally process what you're doing. In the case of Go players, they found that the brain actually decreases density in some regions to improve specialization.

so the past few days i wake up 5am to study and study till about 7 then study 10-8. for the life of me I physically cannot study after that.
I get really irritated , irritible, and just want to chuck my laptop through a window. currently going over immunology and while its easy theirs so many receptors , cytokines,drugs, and exceptions and pathways my brain is going insane.

seriously OP even if you get sleep and get caffiene you will not be able to keep up with it. just study all you can and dont be distracted and try to find problem sets. also review more of what you get wrong rather than what you know.

My japanese friend was doing mulitvarbile calculus by grade 9. No rie school is differently a waste of time, but this is a little accelerated. You wont be able to to some of that 5th grade stuff in a 5th grade mind, better to stack it just a year later

Sleep is the most important thing. You won't even remember stuff right and be unable to think clearly if you don't get enough sleep. I can't overstate how important it is to mental health, memory, even intelligence.

You only need 4 hours of sleep if it's pharmacologically induced stage 4 deep sleep. The caveat is, without REM you can't remember shit.

>My japanese friend was doing mulitvarbile calculus by grade 9
The Japanese are something else. I remember in elementary school of a Japanese exchange student. Very wealthy background, private tutoring, and was doing linear algebra by 3rd grade when everyone else was struggling to multiply single digit numbers.

She was quick too. The teachers had a 100 problem multiplication challenge for 2x2. She tore through it in 36 seconds. My slow gook ass took 54 seconds. Third place was a full two minutes into the challenge and still not done. Top three students were rewarded with chocolate. I hate chocolate. They always rewarded top students with chocolate.

Goddamn it I really admire that kind of competency. I dream of a day when the United States can be a society of Übermensch but instead I'm stuck in a university classroom full of drug-addict affirmative action niggers that steal class slots and oxygen, surviving off of cheating and grade curving. Where did we go wrong?

People don't remember shit, it's how rote child abuse works. I had a guy who was struggling with basic graphs/algebra in college being like "this is bs we did this in 4th grade". I snapped back "You should be good at it then shouldn't you?". Look up some IQ studies over time: most people end up like their parents, exceptionalism during childhood doesn't correlate better than what IQ your parents have.

Cyproheptadine would be a good place to start. It's an allergy med that increases the magnitude of brainwaves during the sleep cycle. I'd be interested in a drug that just made sleep better per hour, instead of trying to make my dumbass stay in bed for longer than I "want" to be.

4h of sleep is possible, but you have to be a fucking machine to do it. Don't listen to these naysayers, they have no idea how to study hence their ignorance

Here's my schedule
>5:00 wake up
>5:00 - 6:30 meditate for 45 minutes, exercise around 35 minutes, brush teeth, shower
>6:30 - 13:30 rigorous study something new or work, taking a 5 minute break every 30 minutes
>13:30 -14:30 chill out for a bit
>14:30 - 17:00 review and lighter study, again taking a break every half hour
>17:00 - 17:15 eat only meal of the day
>17:15 - 22:00 more light study
>22:00 - 23:00 chill out before bed
>23:00 fall asleep

It's not exactly 18 hours of studying but that is certainly possible

Some suggestions to facilitate this lifestyle:
Meditation and exercise are the most important thing that help me be able to do this. Meditation cleared up my mind and helped me focus much better and not procrastinate. Exercise every morning has been proven to help boost your mood throughout the entire day. Many people think exercise is good for you because getting in shape but it's much more than that.
Alcohol, cigarettes, weed, fapping, sugar are all degeneracies and you should refrain from doing any of them.
Your diet is likely to affect your sleeping. When I changed mine I was able to sleep much less (went from 9 hours to 6) and wake up fully rested. Just find a good diet that works for you.

Meme. The whole reason he is fucked is that he kept postponing things, probably thinking "I'm just gonna start learning all this shit tomorrow/next week" every single day. Suppose he takes a year off. He will learn jack shit in that time, nor will his habits change. Then he goes back, bombs another semester and that's it. I know, because pretty much the same thing happened to me.
Learning a semester worth of shit in a month is perfectly doable, given how inefficient universities are. It's also a long enough period of time to build solid knowledge. I don't really expect him to perfectly follow his billion hours of study a week plan, but if he manages to get at least 30 hours a week and pass most of his classes with shitty grades, that will do a lot more for him than just taking the easy way out.

I wouldn't think it unwise to think of studying and study habits as being akin to a marathon in terms of practice. You need to gradually build up your resistances to mental fatigue whilst also mental stamina. Start with something more manageable and build up hours studied from there. Keep to a routine with regular breaks reducing those break times and extending your study runs.

I would go for at least 7 hours of sleep, which would give you 15 hours a day for studying.
