Can you grow tolerance to tiredness?

Question

You are tired but force yourself to stay awake and eventually you grow tolerance and it gets easier to stay up, of course still needing sleep but not as much, does this happen? Is it possible? 🤔

unfortunately, it seems like the body can adjust to function with a lot less, or at least that happened in my case... as a former insomniac I did grow accustomed to sleep very little or none at all some nights, and still able to function well enough the next day

nowadays I can go alright and fine with six hours of sleep, and even four sometimes... and it will not really affect me during the day at all, this is of course a bad habit but at least I am not insomniac anymore, lol...

now... when it comes to sports, I definitely am in very good shape, so I can go way longer than the average person would do with physical activity but that's just normal for the more active people... what was not normal is how I could get tired, and still push myself to go beyond that first wall you hit like anybody would and keeeep going lmao

many times, when it would get the most fun and competitive we could clock around six hours on the field and still run and play like dumbasses but I was way younger and I didn't care I could up with it, and if we really wanted to push it to limits, we would go even further, beyond that second wall

now, this is the stupid one lmao... this is when all of your body starts to hurt organ by organ, it seems... cramps will hit you everyone, and every breathe feels like a burning coal furnace is inside your body, we did this a few times just for the fun of it, lmao

none of this is good though, it's not healthy at all and it's not smart either, best not grow and get used to the tolerance... whether is physical activity and stamina, or messing up with your sleeping patterns, best is to keep it normal and healthy, keep yourself sane too, lol

For staying awake over 24 hours?  A large part of it has to do with your diet, how many hours of sleep you got prior, and what you do throughout the day. I have noticed that around night time it becomes easier to stay awake even if you have been up almost 40 years.  In general?  You definitely can adjust your body to getting around 6 hours of sleep each night if it is consistent and being functional. However, any lower than that is purely based on genetics and having conviction to force your body to get moving or not oversleep.

How much sleep your brain needs to organize memories, emotions, and knowledge and keep you sane is not negotiable. You can create a deficit of sleep, but sooner or later, you will have to bear the consequences... and they are not very nice. Memory problems, hallucinations, balance disorder, and if it takes more time, it will affect your emotions, perception, and speech center...

I permanently sleep not enough, but my body is smarter than me... Sometimes, I go to charge my phone in the bedroom, and I wake up two hours later... or I nap on the couch in the living room... My brain and body simply sleep when they need it, and any bed is within range...

I would say no. Sleeping is the human equivalent to charging a battery. If the battery doesn't charge, it's not going to tolerate it. It'll only be a matter of time until it dies, in our case that'd be collapsing from exhaustion. Your body also won't regulate stuff very well either: Your thinking, emotions, memory, eyesight, etc. isn't going to work very well. Your brain likes to organize everything while you're away in dreamland.

For a short time it is. You can actually hit a second wind being so tired that you can almost feel high in a way. You definitely get sillier at that level.

For a short time yes…then your body/mind will tell you…hey…I need rest. Yiu can’t control some basic needs.

LazerBean · Answer

I think some people can on a mental level. But physically, they will still be damaging themselves.

Tolerance is just a very good word. I can tolerate a mess around the house. I can tolerate problems.  Tiredness……what do you mean by that
