This article for instance, will end up taking my just under 40 minutes to type up straight from my head. I am very capable of moving things along rapidly. Perhaps time does pass by differently for me. I used to be that person who would say, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead!” That’s how long I have been this way… Then I’d land and immediately after getting off, I’d want to do something exciting/energetic. I would go through entire books like hot cakes, listen to whole albums and watch pretty much all the decent films they had to offer. Airhostesses must’ve hated me because I was constantly buzzing the pager to have something, be it cards, peanuts, juice, water, food for the entire duration of the flight.
From a young age I was regularly on long haul flights (alone mostly) to and from Jamaica (8+ hours at least). When I thought of it this way I realized I was always someone who needed less sleep than most people did. not needing to sleep as much as the majority. It may not be all that common amongst the majority of the population (small by comparison) but if this condition exists, then so too must the opposite, i.e. There is a state of needing to sleep constantly that we know as narcolepsy. Looking at life through my own eyes, I have seen that there are always counters and exceptions to theories/arguments/points of view. The honest answer would be that I have become increasingly aware as an adult. Wow the old ‘how did you know?’ question. How Long Have You Been Like This? Does Time Pass Differently For You? In short I am a high functioning creative with tons of ambition that is vigilant about health (Physical, Mental and Emotional). Presently I am working on a documentary that is very dear to me and in the near future I will hopefully be a regular on Streaming and Podcasting platforms. I write screenplays (Film and TV), blogs, poetry, books and recently I have started songwriting. There are many exciting activities on my plate. Hopefully I will be functioning very well for a very long time! So far so good! I have a varied lifestyle. I have heard of people being to ‘micro sleep’ as in doze off and recharge in short bursts as little as 2-5 minutes, honestly I’m a little jealous! I don’t micro sleep… How Do You Function? How is your health? What Do You Do With Your Days? The only things that drastically upset my natural sleeping hours are sickness or changing time zones. So quite frankly, I either get some sleep in the middle of the night (bedtime of 2-4AM) or it doesn’t happen until the following day or so. Once it’s daylight any chance of sleep reduces to zero. Sleep during the day is near enough impossible for me. No scheduled posts, just me responding in real time to tweets. At the worst of times, I can be awake as long as 42 hours – just under two days for the mathematically challenged.Īt the moment, I am getting my 3-5 and nothing is slowing me down! For those of you who are unconvinced, I sometimes live tweet my hours of sleep.
How Often Do You Sleep?Īt the best of times, I sleep daily for 3 hours up to a maximum of 5. Naturally you will want some questions answered, I will do my best to wear my psychic hat and preempt them. However, it’s time people knew not everyone needs slumber for 1/3 of their day. This information may cause confusion and many people identifying as something they are not when they need medical assistance. A lack of a sleep routine is usually a symptom of illness, be it physical or mental. The reasons for that seem to be sensible enough. The sleepless elite are people who function properly without the regular prescribed amount of sleep (currently that’s 7-8 hours).įor good reason, it isn’t broadly disseminated that people exist that function highly and even thrive with little or no sleep. You would certainly be forgiven for thinking, “It is an ancient order of wealthy individuals who have been cursed with eternal life for acquiring their riches through unconscionable greed.” (That actually sounds pretty interesting give me a moment while I jot that down…) What on earth is the sleepless elite you ask? My name is Jay Mullings and as the title suggests I am a member of the sleepless elite.
