٠٠:٠٣:٤٧A bodybuilder from Tokyo, Daisuke Hori, asserts he is the happiest man alive, thriving on a mere 30 minutes of sleep each day to maximize his time for various activities.
At 40 years old, Hori has reportedly trained both his mind and body to function with minimal sleep, adhering to this regimen for the past 15 years.
Footage filmed on Monday captures Hori actively training, playing the guitar, and engaging in video calls with members of the Japan Short Sleepers Training Association. On a typical day, he balances these pursuits with caring for his child and pet.
"In the first place, it is a misconception, or rather, a mistake, that sleep removes fatigue, and that is what I am trying to convey in my lecture. The body can recover by taking care of itself while awake, so it is not that we are trying to recover by sleeping," he explained.
Hori revealed that at the age of 25, he transformed his sleeping patterns, driven by a need for ample time for work, hobbies, sports, and study.
"It took me seven years to do a sleep study since I was eighteen years old. It took seven years, and I myself was able to shorten my sleep time to become a 'short sleeper'. And from there, for the past 15 years, I've been living on roughly 30 to 45 minutes of sleep a day."
According to Hori, creating a clear distinction between waking and sleeping environments is crucial for maintaining alertness. For instance, he prefers to take a bath upon waking to signal a transition to full wakefulness.
Nearly a decade ago, Hori founded the Japan Short Sleepers Training Association, where he shares insights about sleep and health, reportedly helping over 2,000 individuals reduce their sleep duration.
Despite Hori’s remarkable ability to function on little sleep, medical professionals typically recommend that adults aim for at least seven hours of sleep nightly. Chronic sleep deprivation is linked to various adverse health effects, including irritability, depression, headaches, and increased risks of diabetes, heart disease, and kidney problems.
