You don’t perform on 6 hours sleep.
One of the most important sleep studies ever ran a brutally simple test.
People slept 4h, 6h, or 8h per night for 14 days. No all-nighters. Just “normal” short sleep.
Cognitive performance was tested every two hours.
By day 14:
6 hours = same impairment as being awake for 24 hours.
4 hours = same as 48 hours awake.
But here’s the scary part – after day 3–4, people stopped feeling more tired.
Reaction times kept slowing, attention lapses kept increasing, working memory kept degrading.
But subjective sleepiness flatlined.
Your brain keeps getting worse, your ability to notice it breaks.
This is why chronic undersleeping feels sustainable – you adapt to feeling tired but you do not adapt to being cognitively impaired.
The participants would’ve told you they felt “okay”. Objectively, they were functioning like they’d pulled an all-nighter.
If you’re sleeping 6 hours and think you’re fine, you’ve probably lost calibration.
Sleep need is biological. Most adults need 7–9 hours.
“I only need 6” usually means “I forgot what normal feels like.”
Feeling fine is not evidence you’re functioning well.
Chronic sleep loss doesn’t just impair your brain – it blinds you to the impairment.

Hey everyone — I’ve been seeing a lot of really weird posts about Kyedae and me that are creating false narratives and spreading unnecessary hate — it’s really disheartening to see.
We parted on completely mutual terms, and we still care deeply about each other. It honestly hurts so much to see her being attacked when we BOTH supported each other through insanely difficult times. I also quit playing pro of my own accord and was never influenced by her to quit. People’s goals can change over time, and that is just what happened with me. In a healthy relationship, there should never be comparisons about who sacrificed more or gave more — that mindset is immature and helps nobody.
All I ask is that you please respect Kyedae as a person and respect the decision we made together. This kind of pointless “drama” is exactly why having a relationship in the public eye can be so draining.
She is also still dealing with ongoing health issues, which makes the negativity being spread even more heartbreaking and unfair.
Thank you for understanding, and once again, please respect our decision.
