The prevailing belief that one “can get along on four hours sleep” is a myth,
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I have often wondered why so many people try to deny their need for sleep. I worked for a while with someone I enjoyed working with but he kept saying that six hours of sleep was plenty enough for anybody and he could get by on four. “Yeah”, I told him, “but I have never seen you come to work (even though he was always fifteen minutes or more early) when you didn’t look tired.”
Excellent observation !!!
is it? i didn't even read the article past the first sentence... i guess i'll go back and read it... i do function on not good sleep many days--sometimes i can't grab a nap, especially on the days that i'm teaching other children... but then 2:00 rolls around and i'm yawning... i hate that... it's rude and uncontrollable... i was teaching a Latin class on Thursday and i kept yawning... my young students (4th grade) thought it was funny... tried to talk into letting them out early... i was tempted...
Post of the day.
But now the feminist rabble are complaining about fatigue from long hours. Gee, wasn't that a great idea to demand to get into that patriarchial, male world where the men had such "fun" jobs? The feminists made it seem that all men had great jobs working at high levels for humongous pay. I doubt any of these feminists ever wanted to dig ditches or do the many miserably dangerous and dirty jobs men have done for centuries. Again, if any women want to do those jobs, I fully support them. But you won't see the likes of Naomi Wolf and other fem-nazis applying for them.
Men still suffer the most job-related injuries and deaths by a huge margin. Hey, Naomi Wolf, why don't you and your feminist pals try to really enter a "man's" world? Put down that word processor and try to do some gainful employment for a change? Full-time whining can only get you so far.
***The prevailing belief that one “can get along on four hours sleep” is a myth, held equally by men and women, I would say.***
I tried it years ago. It don’t work.
I just reitred from a job where we worked 12 hours a day, rotating shifts. We got an average of 4 hours of sleep a night (or day) due to the rotation and I thought I was gonna die! Work quality did suffer as a result.
Thomas Edison was known to get only four hours of sleep a night. This may be where the “4 hours” myth came from. It was later revealed that Edison also took several naps during the day at his business.
