a Japanese father and Bodybuilder Claims to be a “true master” and to have “doubled” his lifespan by sleeping only half an hour per night for a dozen years.
Daisuke Hori, 40, says he has trained his body and mind to function normally and not feel tired, with his goal being to get 30 to 45 minutes of sleep each night.
Hori relies on caffeine to stay active and awake throughout his 23.5-hour day.
“If you play sports or drink coffee an hour before eating, you can avoid drowsiness,” he said. South China Morning Post.
Horie, who lives in Hyogo Prefecture, northwest of Osaka, began cutting down on his daily sleep 12 years ago in order to get more active hours each day.
Hori's technique is based on the quality rather than the quantity of sleep.
“People who require sustained focus in their work benefit more from high-quality sleep than from longer sleep. For example, doctors and firefighters have shorter rest periods, but they maintain high efficiency,” he added.
Horie, an entrepreneur, recently took part in the “Best Body Japan” contest, in which men and women compete to show off the ideal athletic physique.
A typical day for a married father of one child was captured by Japan's “Yomiuri TV” when Hori was featured on the reality show “Will You Go With Me?”, which chronicled Hori's life over three days of filming.
According to SCMP, one day Hori slept for 26 minutes and woke up naturally, refreshed and full of energy.
He had breakfast and went to work, also doing exercise.
Horie founded the Japan Short Sleepers Training Association in 2016, where he has reportedly taught over 2,100 people to become ultra-short sleepers.
One of her students said she started cutting down on her sleep four years ago and has now gone from eight hours to just 90 minutes a day, while her skin and mental health are in “pretty good shape”.
To achieve “optimal health”, the National Institutes of Health recommends that adults regularly sleep seven or more hours per night, as adults who get less than seven hours of sleep have been shown to have “adverse health outcomes” such as weight gain, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, and depression.
Hori is the latest in a line of entrepreneurs in the fight against Father Time.
