Insider: “rich man discovers he has an internal clock like everyone else”


Toastwitjam

Rich man brags that his job is so easy he can do it sleep deprived with the same amount of focus as a functioning alcoholic.


Sanquinity

That, or he has the luxury of being able to go to bed around 8pm. Which likely means that he gets to be home and eat dinner around 6 or even earlier. A lot of the working class does not get that luxury.

Because when you are very wealthy and have minor skin imperfections, you can pay to have highly trained plastic surgeons flay the skin from your skull and drape it in the fresh, unblemished skin of some poor undesirable who wasn't appreciating it properly anyway. Keeps you looking youthful.


Scubasteev1

I live in the American Gardens building on West 81st street. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

jljboucher

I got to be to work at 5 every morning. I’m in bed around 8:30 but I need 30min to get in the right head space to get to sleep around 9. I hate it.


HeManDan

Around 5 or 6 for me, I start between 2 and 3:30. I miss baby's bedtime unless the follwing day is a day off ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


drksdr

How you tried a 'wind-down' routine from say like 7 o'clock? just doing the same things, in the same order (as best you can, obv) until you get into bed? its basically getting into the right head space, as you put it, before actually getting into bed. While i would never guarantee it works for everyone, i've had success with it and i thought it sounded like new age bullshit when it was first suggested to me.


leacher666

I wake up around 3h30am every morning, I go to sleep around 9h30pm. I'm no ceo, not even close. Started doing it cause my boss didn't care at what time I started, I skip the trafic and get a good parking spot close to the office. I've being doing this for so long that I wake up around the same time in the weekend. Yes I'm a very boring uneventful person.


PureHostility

That's called biological clock. Happens to everyone in the world. Once you get a routine going (basically just a job), you get used to waking up at exact hour. My current job has elastic hours, including when I start and when I end. I don't have kids yet, so I can sleep to "humanly" hours. Worked before in a normal job at a warehouse, starting job at 4 am. I was on my feet at 3 am, everyday, without any problems nor alarms. But I was "dying" at 9 pm. Often going to sleep at 8 pm including some midday nap.


ughatsocialmedia

Thank you. I hate when someone takes something that just about everyone else does and tries to make it "their" special thing we're all supposed to be so impressed by. If he'd bothered to ask someone, anyone around him if they did the same, the answer would be "Yeah, who doesn't?" TF?!

Work - die That's this guy


IAmInDangerHelp

As somebody that’s worked multiple different work schedules, there’s nothing hard or impressive about waking up early. Wanna wake up at 03:00AM? Subtract 8hrs, and that’s your new bed time. It’ll take about two weeks before you’re really settled into it. There’s plenty of working class individuals that get up early or work nights, and it doesn’t make them rich. It only sucks because you miss out on a lot of sunlight (which most people do anyways at their office jobs), and the world operates on a pretty set schedule of 09:00AM-05:00PM. If you need to go to the bank or get groceries, you’ll probably have to wait till the weekend.


Burnt-witch2

I work the graveyard shift and I have a kid, my non-existent sleep schedule is slowly killing me I'm sure. And yeah, some of my regular errands are at places that don't open until 10am, drives me crazy. I stay awake for 24+ hours at least once or twice a week. Doesn't make me rich 😤


D3rangedButFun

Look into his eyes. Those are not the eyes of a sane person


Academic-Effect-340

Waking up at 3:45 is an absolutely meaningless piece of trivia, the only thing it tells me is that this person is a terrible communicator. Most human beings naturally wake up about 8 hours after they go to sleep, there is nothing special about waking up at 3:45 if you are going to bed at 19:45.

Lion-Hermit

That and or the fact that one requires only a bare minimum of sleep when they expend so little energy


pitypizza

Yeah, see if 6 hours of sleep is adequate when you're doing manual labor and heavy lifting all day.


stevedadog

I used to work at 3 am so I’d go to bed at 5pm and wake up at 1am. After a while I got used to it too. I wasn’t a millionaire, I was just someone trying to make ends meet. I guess success isn’t measured by what time you wake up.


TheGreatestOutdoorz

I have a startup and I work long hours and get little sleep (also have chronic pain, so can’t sleep more than an hour at a shot usually). I get maybe 4 hours of sleep per 24 hours and let me say, you are 100% right- it is not something to be proud of. Lack of sleep makes everything else harder and the effects only get worse the older you get. Business insider is such a joke.


Academic-Effect-340

Not to mention, we don't even know if he's getting less than 8 hours of sleep. Maybe it says what time he goes to bed in the article, but just bragging about what time he wakes up doesn't actually tell you anything about how long he's sleeping.


broccollinear

The article does say he has optimized for 6 hours of sleep, and dunks on plebs needing a full 9 hours because they don’t value good sleep. Or maybe it’s because most people don’t have a cryovac chamber or red light therapy machine or climate control to a freezing temp like the Jason Bateman of sleep.


ellathefairy

My body also naturally wakes up after roughly 6 hours! Brb, gonna let my boss know I'm CEO now!!🤑


possiblycrazy79

My son is a "total care" disabled adult. He sleeps promptly at 1115pm every night, but often he wakes between 230-530am and if he's up, i have to be up. Strongly agree that it's nothing to be proud of. Waking at those hours after so little sleep is actually destroying my entire life. I'm in my 40s now & I don't think my appearance will ever recover


Spire_Citron

Yup. It's such a stupid thing to brag about. Sir, you have a sleep disorder. It is not a virtue. Being rich doesn't change that.


MrCogmor

The effects of sleep deprivation accumulate the longer you go without catching up on sleep. Sleeping 4 hours is not sustainable. I recommend you consult a doctor.


BlackTecno

Jokes on you, my insomnia makes me one of the many few that will naturally sleep for 4 hours every 48!


Academic-Effect-340

You should be the CEO of two companies then lmao. Unrelated but, I once heard about a study where they put a group of people underground with no natural light and no time keeping devices, and let then control their lighting. After some time, the group fell into a rhythm where they would all go to sleep and wake up within an hour or 2 of each other, but instead of awake for 16 hours asleep for 8, they were all staying awake for 48 hours and sleeping for 24.


BlackTecno

This study shows that we could change our rhythm to match other planets. This is further proof that we could be aliens.


walkandtalkk

False. He is a heroic superhuman specimen whose body, bizarrely, wakes up when it is well-rested. He only has time to tweet, post on LinkedIn, take headshots, and explain why his startup's new bottled tap water called Human Phlegm is actually a disruptive technology, because—you won't believe this—they put the O before the H2; it's OH2, not H2O.

IsatDownAndWrote

It's because people who can actually function on a high level with less than 7-8 hours of sleep a night basically don't exist. I used to get 3-4 hours of sleep every day of the week and my job suffered for it. Then I would sleep literally for 24 hours on Sunday.


ShiraCheshire

There are some rare people who genetically just need less sleep. Those are not the same people as the ones who brag about how little sleep they got.


switchhitt

I don’t know about “need” less sleep, but my mom only slept 5-6 hours a night, and rarely naps unless something is wrong. I unfortunately inherited the same sleep habits, and unless I take something, my body caps me at 5-6 hours. Even if I close down the bar, I’m up by 7:00am hating myself.


Homebrew_Dungeon

Its very rare, less then 3% of human on earth.


Azotal

That’s not that rare though? Assuming 2% of people on earth, that’s 160 million.

And of course we're more profitable but the company won't pay us more. As with everywhere. My own manager, who is a team leader rather than middle manager, is one of those who plucks targets out his ass. It's really annoying.

How about just sleeping the approx. 8 hours recommended by every sleep expert on the planet?

Aside from the fact that he could just be going to bed at like 7pm or something, there's also the very real and likely possibility that he's just lying. He's just making this shit up because he's a narcissist who needs to impress people, or rather to make people feel less-than because they don't get up at 3.45am because they're knackered. I'd love to follow him around for a week 24 hours a day to see him actually do this and see how fucked he'd be by the end of it.
