I’ve been putting off some tasks and am considering sleeping only four hours a night until December 9th. Normally, I sleep about eight hours. Would this be okay for just a week?
Sleeping only four hours nightly for a week could lead to reduced cognition, memory issues, extreme irritability, headaches, and fatigue. It’s best to manage your time and ensure you get sufficient sleep.
No, it’s not advisable.
Sleeping only four hours a night isn’t a good idea. Most adults need between 7-9 hours. While some can cope with less temporarily, it often leads to negative health effects both short and long term. Sleep is crucial, and lost sleep is hard to recover.

I’ve decided to stick to my regular sleep schedule and just focus on getting my tasks done this week. Thanks for the advice!
Definitely not. As someone who struggles with insomnia, I can say it’s essential to get as much sleep as you can.
Reducing sleep like that could lead to serious health problems.
That’s not a good idea at all.
It’s a bad idea. You’re better off getting enough sleep to ensure you can concentrate and perform well. Lack of sleep can lead to poor judgment and reduced productivity.
Sleeping only four hours a night could severely impair your mental functions, reducing productivity and potentially putting you at risk, especially when driving. Attempting such a schedule for a week could have dangerous consequences, including severe fatigue and health risks.
