Japanese Man Sleeps Only 30 Minutes a Day for 12 Years to Enhance Longevity! 

Daisuke Hori, a 40-year-old Japanese bodybuilder and entrepreneur, claims to have mastered the art of ultra-short sleep, limiting himself to just 30-45 minutes per night for the past 12 years.

Hori believes his technique, which emphasizes the quality of sleep over quantity, has doubled his life expectancy by giving him more active hours each day.

Despite the controversy surrounding his extreme sleep regimen, Hori remains dedicated to his lifestyle, even founding the Japan Short Sleepers Training Association to teach others his methods.

According to the South China Morning Post, he believes that high-quality sleep is more important than the length of sleep, especially for people who need sustained focus in their work, like doctors and firefighters.

Critics, however, worry about the potential long-term health risks of such minimal rest.
