less sleep = more confidence??

[SolidGK]

hello
on the DJB page under the FAQ section it says one of the ways to increase confidence is to sleep less (6-7hrs a night)...
is this true?

in my experience if i dont get enough sleep i am tired, less energetic, and lack confidence.
i always thought more sleep (9-10hrs) increases testosterone, which increases confidence...
what do you guys think?

 

[kyokon]

sounds like a load of bs to me... where does it say that?

 

[SolidGK]

go to the front page of the DJB page and go to the FAQ and its under "how to increase confidence" or something like that
just download the word file and do a Ctrl+F search for "masturbate" and youll probably find it

I think doctor's say people should sleep 8 to 9 hours a day.

I have experiece with this from law school, the military and legal practice.

When you get a little sleep deprived, you care a little less about what else is going on (meaning, you're focused more on what you want: sleep, rest, etc.). It's harder to be nervous because your body is weighed down with fatigue.

I just don't know how you would do this intentionally, or for very long...

Its all psychological.

Sleep 9 hours a night and you'll have good days and bad days. Same goes for sleepin 5 hours. There are alot of other factors that affect your mood during the day. You cant pin it just to sleep.

Other factors:
- Weather and sunlight
- Circumstances
- Hormones
- The way you wake up
- Previous day's events

Generally speaking tho:

more sleep = physical well being = mental well being.

this could be true, sometimes when i get less sleep, i feel tired and pissed off, so i really dont care about anything.

Hey guys,

it was me who penned the original piece about sleeping little. It was in a short list of several things you should do - a single one will not do all of the work. The sleep thing is debatable, but the reason I added was because it is true that if you sleep little, you'll care less about anything else, which will work in your favour.
