00:00What will happen if you can double your life?
00:03Think about it.
00:04You get hours of time every day to fulfill your desires,
00:07to work on your goals,
00:09or just to rest.
00:11It seems impossible, isn't it?
00:13After all,
00:14we need 6 to 8 hours of sleep to work properly.
00:19This is what we have been told.
00:20But today we are going to tell you the story of a Japanese person
00:25who denied this ordinary truth
00:27and took only 30 minutes of sleep for 12 years.
00:31Meet Daisuke Hori,
00:33who is a 40-year-old entrepreneur from Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.
00:38When most of us are lost in the world of dreams,
00:42Hori has trained his body and mind in such a way
00:45that he can work on only 30 minutes of sleep.
00:49Why?
00:50The answer to this is simple.
00:52To live life to the fullest,
00:54instead of 6 to 8 hours of sleep,
00:57he takes a 30-minute power nap.
00:59Yes, only 30 minutes.
01:01Hori believes that sleep with high quality is more important
01:05than sleeping for a long time,
01:08especially for those who need to focus constantly on their work,
01:14such as doctors and fire fighters.
01:17I have learned that if you exercise or drink coffee
01:21an hour before eating,
01:22you can keep your sleepiness away.
01:25It's not about how long you sleep,
01:28but how much effect your sleep has.
01:32To understand Hori's extraordinary lifestyle,
01:35Japan's Yomuri TV followed him for three days
01:38for the reality show, Will You Go With Me?
01:42Viewers were surprised to see
01:44when Hori took only 26 minutes of sleep
01:47and then got up full of energy,
01:49had breakfast, went to work and even went to the gym.
01:53No sleepiness, no laziness,
01:55just pure energy.
01:57In 2016, Hori took this hobby one step further
02:01and established the Japan Short Sleepers Training Association.
02:06So far, he has trained more than 2,100 students
02:09to become ultra-short sleepers,
02:12proving that their methods are not just a coincidence,
02:17but a lifestyle.
02:19And Hori is not alone.
02:21For example, take Thaingok,
02:23an 80-year-old Vietnamese man
02:26who claims that in 1962,
02:29after a fever, he stopped sleeping at night.
02:32These stories challenge our traditional understanding
02:36and inspire us to explore the limits of human capacity.
02:40What do you think?
02:42Can you stop sleeping hours to give your life a new direction?
02:46Or are the precious hours you spend in your bed more precious?
02:51Daisuke Hori's lifestyle can't be for everyone,
02:55but his journey definitely forces us to think
02:59how much we can achieve with the right mentality and training.
03:04It's not about how much time we have,
03:07but it's about what we do with the time we are given.
03:11Sleep well or sleep less is your choice.
