A stranger at the bus stop told me my life was too loud
Some guy just looked up from his phone and said 'you're always gonna be tired if you never stop moving.' He was right. I'd been running on 4 hours of sleep for months and never even noticed.

Four hours? That's insane. Did you actually hear yourself say that out loud? I've done the three hour thing for like a week straight before and I was literally seeing shadows move in my peripheral vision.

Yeah but 4 hours is actually worse than 3 in some ways. Your body never gets into deep sleep so you just kind of exist without ever actually recovering.

Get through a full night on just 4 hours and tell me if you actually felt rested or if you were just running on adrenaline and caffeine the next day. Because I've done that schedule before and it felt like my brain was wrapped in cotton wool for weeks. The sleep debt builds up fast when you're not hitting that deep sleep cycle. What finally convinced you to try the 3 hour thing instead?
