The Truth About Sleep Patterns

All right, stay with me here.

The eight hours of sleep were created by a mattress brand in 1938,

and you've been lied to all the way up until today.

You don't need eight hours of sleep.

For 200,000 years, humans didn't sleep eight hours in a row.

That number was invented in 1938 by the mattress company called Simmons.

Before that campaign, the average human slept in two shifts.

Historians call that biphasic sleep.

They slept for four hours, stayed awake for two hours, then slept another four hours.

Sounds like something we know.

During that two-hour window, people prayed, made love, wrote, reflected, and connected.

Some of humanity's greatest works were created during that sacred middle period.

Shakespeare wrote most of his work between 1 and 3 a.m.

during his second period of being awake.

It's known that Mozart wrote entire symphonies in what he called the hours of God.

Then the Industrial Revolution required workers to have a fixed schedule.

Industrial Revolution really helped this world, didn't it?

You can't run a factory on a two-phase dream.

Nah, we don't want thinkers.

We want workers.

Then they hired a psychologist named Dr. Nathaniel Kleitman

to test whether eight straight hours were the biological standard.

Guess what?

He falsified the studies.

Sounds like science today.

He was completely funded by the mattress industry, just like all science today.

It's funded by someone who has nefarious means or just want to get more power and more rich.

That's why science is out the window.

And our favorite friends, the medical system,

have adopted their research without question

because it aligned with the factory model.

They transformed the two most creative hours of human consciousness

into a sleep disorder that they called insomnia.

You knew it was coming.

They pathologized precisely the window of consciousness

that produced some of the greatest works of art, music, literature, and human history.

You are not insomnia.

You are experiencing the most natural state of human consciousness.

So stop medicating your genius.

Wake up at 2 a.m.

Medication is a disease.

God hours are calling you.

Answer them.

And that's why inside the Warrior Kid Club that I have,

I teach kids why sleep is important, how to bank sleep,

and if they wake up, what to do in the middle of that sleep.

Comment below Warrior, and I'll send you some information about the Warrior Kid Club.

Otherwise, wake up in those God hours and get after it.

Let's go.
