Can Yoga reduce sleep requirement?

From personal experience, yes, Yoga can reduce sleep requirements. Because I always fall asleep in a yoga class, therefore I require less of my usual sleep! Marc Microsoft MVP, Visual C# MyXaml MyXaml Blog

I was hoping you can do Yoga for half hour a day and get by with 4 hours of sleep =) Norman Fung

Caffiene might work faster. :-D Yoga, if you're out of shape (or even in shape) can be a tough work out, requiring MORE sleep at first! Marc Microsoft MVP, Visual C# MyXaml MyXaml Blog

Can Yoga reduce sleep requirement? I was told there're drugs that let you stay awake for, say, a day (24 hours), then you're going to crash and sleep like a baby. But there're many side effects for that. I was also told that if you practise Yoga long enough you're going to be able to get by on a 5 hours sleep a day schedule. Is there anything I can quote on? Preferably from professional medical community? Thanks in advance. Norman Fung
This link[^] says: "...a 30-minute-a-day yoga practice can actually reduce the amount of sleep you need each night by up to twice the amount of time you spend doing it." I have heard that Yoga is helpful if you have imsomnia, but haven't heard anything abt reducing sleep. Smitha Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. -- Richard Bach

It works both ways i suppose,

There's a watch - supposedly designed at NASA - that enables you to take "power naps" where you sleep just until you get to the point of falling into deep sleep. This is supposed to allow you to work much more time on much less sleep. Cheers, Tom Archer "Use what talents you possess.

Any references/url's so I can look it up and practise this dark art of not having to sleep? Norman Fung
I was trying to find it now and can't. It was something I stumbled onto a couple of months ago. Basically, it monitors your blood flow and pulse and sounds an alarm when you're about to fall into a deep sleep. I'll send a URL if I can find the site.

Does anyone know anything about medication that let you stay awake for extended period of time? Norman Fung
It's called speed, coming to a dodgy street corner near you. [worldspawn]

It's not a joke, actually. 'speed' as sold on the black market is just amphetamine. The army has been giving it to soldiers since the 1960's so they wouldn't need as much sleep. In 'regular' pharmacies one of the brand names is 'Captagon', although it's no longer available without prescription where I live (Europe).

Yeah well I never said it was healthy :) Your body can handle once every few months though. Oh and don't be scared of drugs because of a dea website - they're paid to fight drugs, they couldn't just undermine their own business now could they? (mind you, I'm not saying that that woman is in any way fake - meth is no good over the mid- to long term, that's for sure).
