We are calling him the 8th wonder because he has been sleeping only 30 minutes a day for the last 12 years. The man believes completely opposite to healthcare professionals who suggest 6 to 7 hours of sleep for good health.
Have you ever discussed adequate sleep duration with your doctor? If yes, then they might have suggested sleeping for at least 6 hours for better health and concentration. Not only doctors but your parents also advise you to take at least 6 hours of sleep. Even people who have insomnia spend 2-3 hours in bed.
However, one person has proven all these theories wrong. Our eighth wonder believes that sleeping less is good for health and energy. He claims that people like firefighters and police officers sleep less and perform better than the average person because of less sleep.
The Japanese businessman not only made the claim but also proved it in the live show. He used to sleep less than an hour every day during the show, which was streamed for three consecutive days. Daisuke also spent a good amount of time in the gym during this period and looked energetic all the time.
Who is the 8th wonder?
Not officially, but Japan’s Daisuke Hori is the 8th wonder in the world. He has trained himself so well that he can perform all his activities with only 30 minutes of sleep. Hori is a 40-year-old entrepreneur who lives in western Japan.
According to a South China Morning Post, Hori sleeps only 30 to 45 minutes a day. The post further claims that Hori performs gym sessions and works in his daily routine. “As long as you do sports or drink coffee an hour before eating, you can stave off drowsiness,” Hori says.
Additionally, our 8th Wonder has trained about 2100 students to maintain work efficiency even with short sleep. One student even claims to sleep only 90 minutes a day. A student shared with Yomiuri TV that he reduced her sleep from eight hours to 90 minutes.
Hori has practiced for more than 10 years to achieve this unique habit. However, it is not healthy or advisable for anyone.
What professionals believe in sleep duration?
Many doctors have noticed this case and still believe that sleeping less than 6 hours a day can cause serious issues. Some professionals think that Daisuke Hori may have some rare condition that blesses him.
However, for ordinary people, 6 hours are recommended.
