Sleeping is an important part of our daily lives and is essential for maintaining good health and overall well-being. Most people need between 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night to function optimally. However, a Japanese man claims he has been sleeping only for 30 minutes a day for the past 12 years. According to the man, this sleep pattern has improved his ‘work efficiency’.

Hori is an entrepreneur, who loves music, painting, and mechanical design. 12 years ago, Daisuke Hori began reducing his sleep to create more active hours each day and eventually cut his sleep down to 30 to 45 minutes daily. “As long as you do sports or drink coffee an hour before eating, you can stave off drowsiness,” he claims. Reality show reveals Hori’s 26-minute sleep and high energy  To examine Hori’s claims more closely, Japan’s Yomiuri TV featured him in a reality show called ‘Will You Go With Me?’. The reality show revealed that Hori once slept for just 26 minutes, woke up feeling energetic, and even managed to hit the gym. “People who need sustained focus in their work benefit more from high-quality sleep than long sleep. For instance, doctors and firefighters have shorter rest periods but maintain high efficiency,” Hori told the outlet. Hori’s online resume claims he has taught more than 2,100 students to become ‘ultra-short sleepers’ and according to the outlet, one of the students even told Yomiuri TV that she was able to cut her sleep from eight hours to just 90 minutes after getting trained Hori.   Get Latest Updates on… See more News / Trending / 12 years of 30-minute sleep?
