40-Year-Old Japanese Bodybuilder Sleeps 30 Minutes a Day to Prolong His Life

Is it possible to survive a full day with only half an hour of sleep? Definitely. Could you imagine surviving for 12 years on just 30 minutes of daily naps? While it may seem unfeasible, Daisuke Hori has proven that it is achievable. Hori is an entrepreneur who loves music, painting, and bodybuilding. He started cutting back on sleep 12 years ago in order to have more active hours each day and was able to cut it down to 30–45 minutes a day, which, according to him, doubled his life expectancy.

What started as a little experiment for Hori became his whole lifestyle. After over a decade of conditioning his mind and body, Hori feels refreshed and maintains peak energy levels for 23 hours a day. His first advice to those of you who would like to try this routine is to exercise or drink coffee an hour before eating. This way, you can prevent sleepiness.
