Or at least that was my experience. People in the military seem to handle 4-6 hours a night on a regular basis just fine, for a year or more, especially during deployment.

Don't we dream all the time in the REM stage, and relax all of our muscles? Wouldn't it be bad to spent less time in this stage? (sorry for my possible grammer mistakes, english is my second language) Hello Jeff,

Thirty minute decreases every 7-10 days is very doable and sounds like it won't make you fall apart like cutting off hours overnight does.
