my whole life I've only slept about 4 hours a night. I feel fully energized and am active. When I sleep longer I feel even more tired, like I'm not really sleeping.
Is it possible my brain waves are messed up? Like my rem cycle doesn't work correctly?
Some people just don't need much sleep. I think Margaret Thatcher got by with about 3 hours a night. Many CEOs do too.

I sleep 4 hours daily, but it's turned me into a useless idiot. You're one of the lucky ones OP.
you need sleep to clear out plaques from the brain, the same plaques implicated in dementia which margaret thatcher suffered from
I'm not sure where the "you don't need 8 hours of sleep" meme came from but it's horseshit

Psychology 101, man. Sleep needs are dependent on the individual person. 8 hours is the AVERAGE. which means some people need more, and some need less. I'm usually satisfied with around 7 hours. If I go over 8 hours, I tend to feel more shitty and tired for some reason.
I know a lot of buddhists and yogis think sleep is wasted time that you could be meditating so they only sleep about 4 hours too.
Consider becoming a monk, you already got the celibacy down.

I think it started from stupid "life hacks" websites spamming that uberman's sleep schedule or whatever where you can apparently be perfectly healthy with only 4 20 minute naps a day.
