my first deployment to north eastern Afghanistan/ Pakistan Border, we were so sleep deprived that most of us were combat ineffective. some times there were so few of us in the outpost that we couldnt stay indoors for any reason. we had to do everything outside to give the illusion that there was more of us than there was. Little did they knew that plenty of times they could had just walk up to the front gates with a squad and wipe us out, since most of our assets were out on patrol. We built decoy 60mm mortars and M240's to put on the hescos and guard towers, to make it seem like we had defensive assets ready to engage. The reality was that HQ took our 81mm mortar, the 60mm was out on patrol, and all we had was the 120mm, that required an act of congress to get clearance to fire. after about 48-72 hours of staying "combat ready", walking around, doing labor, and "showing our numbers", we started to collapse of exhaustion. Then we had an outbreak of some stomach virus that wiped a few of the guys. We were being protected by a few AFG's, a cook, a medic, and 2 mechanics for the better part of a week. When the attack came, it was brutal. If it wasn't for the rotary wing escort to the medevac clearing out the attackers, we could had been overrun. That was 2008, I still cant sleep more than 2 hours at a time.

I totally believe and agree with you. I worked as a contractor there, and was a Marine before that, and got to spend a lot of time around a lot of higher ups, and there also seems to be this mentality of wanting to 'paint their slides green' so to speak, wanting to show that they can still make the mission happen despite a lack of resources. Sometimes it's about wanting to look good to their higher ups, sometimes it's because they're afraid to talk back to them in order to stick up for their troops. A lot of times it's because they don't see it as an issue because "back in my day we had it worse" while not having any understanding of the context. There are certainly times when you have to stay awake for prolonged periods, like extended firefights and whatnot, but there are plenty of times when you're forced to stay awake for literally no reason, even in the rear. You think an aircraft mechanic is gonna do a complex repair like engine work 100% correctly when you've kept him working 12 hours a day and on weekends while not even on a deployment? Pilots die because of that shit. People kill themselves because their family falls apart due to their servicemember not being able to spend time with them despite sleeping in the same house. I'm not even talking about training periods, either. My old unit was a Harrier squadron who was notorious for making people come in on weekends just because they wanted to have more flight hours then the squadron next door to them. Our pilots didn't perform as well due to being stressed out from flying all the time, the units budget was always strained from spending money on repair parts because more flying means more broken jets, and everybody collectively hated the unit. Meanwhile the squadron next door beat them anyway, all their Marines were motivated to work, and most importantly their leadership was well-respected and admired. We even had a grunt lat-move over and after two years he wanted to go back to the infantry because "Fuck this shit".

The insurgent wins if he does not lose, the conventional army loses if he does not win. It’s all game theory one side fights to win the other fights to keep the game going wining just a bonus.

We were forced to endure 2 to 3 hr "briefings" twice every week for over 6 months on everything from "proper pronouns", and "don't grape", to "white fragility" and "combating the Patriarchy". These so-called "briefings" we're usually conducted by washed, perfumed and carefully coiffed female officers in starched uniforms from brigade or division HQ who they would chopper in to our FOB, and they would leave as soon as the "lessons" were over. If they did stay any longer, their food and drinks were brought in special and they DID NOT share any of it with us. I once overheard two of them complaining about how much they disliked doing these "briefings" because it took them away from their "real" work back at HQ(writing reports, running keyboards and the like)and they didn't like mixing with the "front liners" because everything out at the FOBs was dirty, including the soldiers and it all smelled bad. There was also a time when two of them refused to airlift a couple of wounded joes back with them because they were so bloody and those guys had to wait for a med-vac to get them to the rear. Meanwhile, first-aid, commo, weapons and intel classes have to be re-scheduled or cancelled to accommodate the "Sensitivity Officers" time frames. It only got worse once we got back stateside and many of us got out. From what I've heard, it's worse yet and the SJWs and NPCs rule the roost. Our opponents may not be able to beat us on the battlefield but they sure as h*'ll are beating us from the inside. RIP to all our buddies who didn't make it, God bless them.

True. Going without sleep is a necessity at times. That doesn't mean that you should do it frequently or without good reason. I try to get 8+ hours of sleep at least 6 days a week (at least during normal weeks), and it makes a big difference. A lot of the people who are all "you should teach yourself to function on 3 hours of sleep a night" have just been functioning on like 40% capacity for years on end, and just don't know what they would be capable of if they were properly rested. You do most of your shooting in a low-stress environment at the range, where you can focus on fundamentals. Then you do live-action type high stress stuff to see where you're at. You do most of your lifting at below 70% of your max. Then you put some real weight on the bar every once in a while to asses your gains. Similarly, you want to do most of your training while well-rested. The hippocampus (critical for memory formation and integration) doesn't do so hot when you're sleep deprived. Every once in a while, you put it all together in a high-stress, low-sleep setting. That should not be your baseline.

Recommend googling for "multiphasic sleep cycles". It's the sleep-medical pundits finally coming around to notice that a lot pf perfectly healthy societies around the world do take daytime naps of various lengths, and don't necessarily have long nights of sleep either. (Yes, it is particularly common in hot climates.)

Excellent breakdown of one of the most overlooked facets of conflict. In Iraq not only was the fighting/ insurgent activity and ambushes relatively dictated by the weather (though somewhat circumstantial as some years the fighting was heavy all throughout the day and/ or night-- usually it was firefights and ambushes via small arms and such during the day, and rocket or mortar attacks at night, could allllmost put it to a schedule based on where you were and the quantity of the insurgent contingency), but also the prayers in the day. Rarely did they attack during prayer, on occasion a foreign fighter might stir something up though usually more likely was triggering an IED/ EFP on a convoy or patrol during those times. The other aspect in the cities were the local population, if they weren't out on the streets and running the shops in the middle of the day, you knew something was about to cook off-- or, if the locals were giving physical indicators (heavy nervousness or aggression in cultural form i.e. showing the soles of the shoe/ sandal to the patrol), something was likely to go down as they were either alerting the insurgents of your presence or were preparing to ambush you themselves with an IED or something like grenades. The major holidays (like Ramadan) would change things up and most of the fighting would happen at night, some IED related incidents during the day, but otherwise during those times it was scarce to see many people out and about.

During the sleep process, the brain releases an enzymes that clear out the cob webs (such as cholesterol) from the day and get your mind in a more organized state, like a computer defragging. The less you sleep over a long period, the harder it is to get to sleep, and the cob webs built up. A life of little sleep will eventually lead to dementia. There are other causes of dementia. Lack of sleep is one of them. 0 2 : 0 1

@minhducnguyen9276

11 ай бұрын

It's quite close to what you thought. The main component of the "cobweb" you mentioned is ADPs. You feel sleepy because the concentration of ADPs rises. Like they said at schools "mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cells", the mitochondria do generate energy for the cells but how they transfer that energy is less like a powerplant and more like the old school milkman. The mitochondria send out energy in the form of the ATP molecules, the cells break down ATPs into ADP molecules to get the energy then return the ADPs so it can be recycled. Just like the milkman collects empty bottles to be refilled. sleep is important for the brain because for the same weight, the brain consumes 5 times as much energy as the muscle. The brain simply will always create more ADP than it can recycle. When the ADP concentration is high enough, the receptors inside the brain will send the signals, making you feel sleepy. Because anything that builds up more than normal in your body will become toxic eventually. Not to mention the mitochondria can't collect ADPs fast enough due to their limited rate of transport through the membrane so they won't have enough ADPs to recycle back into ATPs no matter how much oxygen and nutrients are available. Sleeping allows your body to spend energy to recharge all the built up ADPs, turning them back into ATPs for storage. Not to mention cells create all kinds of byproducts that can interfere with life functions and have to be cleared out. Sleep is also when the immune system is most active since it can use the spare energy to seek out and destroy whatever it has missed during the day.

Honestly if I miss even two hours of sleep and I get say 6 1/2 hours or seven hours I definitely feel terrible the whole day like hung over. This usually happens one or two times a month :(

Never mind sleep, Afghans have fighting seasons lol [as he says]. Need to bring in harvest

lack of sleep is equivalent to being drunk. How can an Army be effective if its soldiers are drunk on duty?? I have personally done long stints doing long distance trucking with 18 hour days. It can be done, for about 4 days at a time, but it comes at a price. Sleep is very important to staying motivated and focused.

Switching up my sleep schedule to get on that insurgent-maxing grind

Well said. And that is why prolonged occupations have never worked throughout history. The insurgent always has the advantage!

People need to stop saying we spend money on "defense" and calling it the "Defense Department". It's more like tax dollars spent on "aggression" and the "Aggression Department". Hey did we ever find the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" in Iraq? Because we brought more than they ever had to that theater.

As a lieutenant I was always exhausted. At Ranger school we slept an hour or two a day - for weeks at a time. Crazy exhausted. We thought it was studly! We were stupid. As a Captain I realized my men needed rest, especially leaders - so they don’t make stupid mistakes.

You alone, apparently. 🤨

Biphasic sleep is actually very natural for humans, the concept of a siesta reaches across cultures. Like you said it allows for more flexibility, and also it feels nice to take a nap after a meal

Anyone else here cause KZread randomly suggested it? I dont exactly know what this algorithm is trying to say...

Interesting approach 👍 the lack of sleep is one of the biggest threats to performing. This is something that often is forgotten in the "heat" of the moment. If all action taken is acted on as if it's the most important, the effect of the combined neglected actions pile up and you have soldiers with the fog of war inside their heads as well as all around them.

No idea why, physiologically, but I work nights, and I find my best sleep is between 0800 and 1500. If I get home before sunrise (which right now is close to 0700) and decompress/relax I can have amazing sleep, but if my gf makes me stay up past 1500 and THEN lets me sleep, I toss and turn and can't sleep more than a block of 2 hours

And the NVA conquered South Vietnam in a series of conventional combined arms attacks. Warfare is always much more about adaptation and getting the right mix to succeed in (themselves changing) circumstances than it is about learning "the tactics" to win or whatever.

I was skimming through some old ones last night and was wondering when yall were gonna drop some more . My prayers to the blood gods have been answered 😁

I love the last cutout, very wordy dossiery way to say "they know"

It's interesting to note that the bansenshukai and shoninki, ninja manuals, say effectively to sleep before a mission

"distasteful" is the last word I would use for an (at least superficially) objective analysis of how a comically under-equipped and under-trained adversary managed to defeat you.

Great content appreciate what you guys are out here doing

I have done a similar lifestyle in the civilian world and can clearly say that this only works on some context. The fact that you have a lot of downtime onbetween assignments in which you wait but cant sleep is important. I would say downtime is 50% as affective as sleep. I tried to do the same cycle of little sleep over long periods in jobs that reuire you to be there all the time and miserably failed. Its simly impossible. It will take maybe a week and you will feel so miserable that you simply sleep in in the morning.

If you're not planning to settle in the country you're fighting in, the clock is always ticking for your eventual withdrawal.

My advice for insurgents from an Afghanistan vet. I would do periodic attacks through out the day/night cycle for several days before a major attack to make the occupiers sleep deprived. I mean just like a 5 min shootout then break contact. It will put the whole base on guard and get them sleep deprived and complacent. My second piece of advice (VERY IMPORTANT) make sure you stay flexible and don't get bogged down. The helicopters and air assets killed so many dudes over there. If you are stationary against the US it will only be a matter of time before a whistling sound of a missile from an attack helicopter you cant even see whips your whole cell out.

I think insurgents and even conventional units around the world started to learn just how advantaged the US NVG and sensor superiority is. There is less reason to do your business or infiltrate a US position when some bloke can see you on thermal. And they are not ready for the sort of high-intensity mechanized conflict nation-states can do to one another. I've read about mortar harassment being used this way. Mortars can be packed up and on the move after some harassment and they're not as directly exposed to the US outpost. It forces the occupants of a UN post to relocate to a shelter or take positions on the fence just in case it will be a raid. Insurgent groups and such organizations have their own support work. They will also have a ratio between frontline fighters and support and logistics work. A lot of their man-hours can be spent moving stuff, contacting people, recce, buying food, making propaganda and giving what medical care they got. Sometimes people in these orgs do these things full-time.

I thought the title sounded so boring but turned out to be something actually intriguing it’s something I never thought about very interesting video

Its similar to long haul trucking. Drive when you have to, sleep when you can

You can do a 20 hour day or even longer days for a month at a pop. Crabbing in Alaska and the old 60's Ranger's school are both examles but do you want to willingly do that to yourself? No.

God that 0245 first call hit way too close to home

Every Military knows the importance of Sleep, but in the US it will be neglected for operations. Every Military knows the importance of Food, but in the US it will be neglected for cost. Every Military knows the importance of Leadership, but in the US it will be neglected for politics. Every Military knows the importance of Morale, but in the US it will be neglected for efficiency. Every Military knows that these are how you win a war, but in the US they ask "But what does this do for the Military Industrial Complex?"

Thank you! Will do!

Combat Medic here, during CLS (98% Go's) I explained the benefits of specifically REM sleep. That 9 minutes REM sleep is only the body can repair cells. You'll notice get a cut and two nights of quality sleep and the cut will mostly be healed. You will of zero sleep faster than starvation or dehydration.

In Paris there is a mosquee. Any body can choose to be a door enter guard, he just choose an hour, and in this hour, while sleeping, wake up and do the guard next to the opening door of the mosquee just to protect the enter of the mosquee. After doing the guard for one hour. He go to sleep and the next person will wake up and continue.

So sorry you guys sacrificed your sleep cycle so I can play possum like I'm doing the snake in COD. Every time I see a PowerPoint, I start counting sheep within the 1st 5 minutes. Thank you for your service

Ive never been on a mission where i didnt feel like i could sleep for days. I think its the body’s natural reaction to having to on a mission. Unless you are a Sgt Maj. Our SMAJ never slept and would constantly walk our gun lines day and night. He always say some shit like, Stay alert stay alive, kill? Rah, Sgt Major. Then SMAJ say, “Thats what I thought, Devildogs. We are Marines, we live for the fucking fight. We kill and a dead Marine can no longer kill! Do you wanna stop killing, Marine?? Uhhh... NEGATIVE SGT MAJOR!! As you were Marines, carry on...as he is walking off. And everyone us is looking at each and thinking wtf? I need some of whatever it is the Sgt Major is on.

This is interesting considering that I have delayed sleep-phase. It's bad for normal life, but it might be perfect for night operations!

As a New Mexican, I ALWAYS consider how the Taliban operate.

when did learning from your enemies become unpatriotic or undesirable? Thats legit Sun Tzu's most famous point from The Art of War

When I was a fobbit in Afghanistan I got by on 4 and half hours of sleep per day. I could push it where could be awake for 2 days straight. The suck with sleep deprivation is that feels like a hangover. Yeah, in Afghanistan it would get up 135 degrees. It would go a month above 100.

Man that range day shit happened all the time, never slept more then when i went to iraq, i drove fuel, they made sure i always was well rested, well their was a few times that we didnt sleep for a day or 2, but overall because of my job i got lots of sleep

Good advice. I became a great poker player learning the book, then planning my play to beat the book.

12 hr shifts were mandatory on my deployment.

Many cultures throughout the world have adopted the siesta. It seems to be a natural cycle especially in climates with higher temperatures, and their are also seasonal components involved. But you must adapt to the environment you are "working" in to complete the task.

Learn from winners not losers. Amen to that.

After careful consideration, the US Army has determined your chronic insomnia is not service related.

In the Navy during Vietnam we were 4 on 4 off. Which meant that you would get no more than 3.5 hours of sleep per day. Then you had your regular duties.

This is an excellent video- I almost didn't watch it because of the thumbnail lol how silly. I'm glad I did.

While I can cruise in high-crime areas with typically no trouble because of my swarthy complexion and ability to relate to people, there's always a risk of being a collateral damage from a conflict that has nothing to do with me given the habit of some to spray in the direction of their target without regard for where errant bullets might land. For that reason, I find mornings after daylight to be a good time to venture into the badlands. Crazy homeless people are still a variable. But the better armed, hard-core thugs are either working or sleeping.

Shoulda taken more naps.

I unknowingly sleep this cycle as an american chicken farmer in his first year free ranging chickens living in a shed in a clearing in a rainforest(If you don't know, that means I am constantly under siege by nature) . For me it came about as a result of living my way for a while. I wake up with the sun, ready their food, wait around listening for my dogs barking to alert me of predator birds until the sun has completely raised over the tree tops. Then they free range and I watch them until I nap for an hour at 2pm-3pm, go back out and patrol my property perimeter, do some chores then get the chickens to their enclosure before the sun drops below the tree tops to secure them from the Owls coyotes and coons. I stay on high alert listening for my dog barks until I fall back asleep around midnight and do it all over again, but have managed to find a groove in my sporadic sleep that keeps me feeling alright

76 hours straight 4 hours sleep another 48 hours straight, ahhh iraq was interesting

In Mali, the insurgents actively tried to sabotage that. They would do nighttime mortar harassment on UN outposts. Not necessarily accurate or intense, just enough to disturb them and keep the pressure on them.

can't make the enemy fight by your rules. when you have to fight and loose sleep, you do. like water rationing, you cannot ration sleep, bank it for future use. when you can, sleep.

And I was looking forward to being Timmy Taliban & breaking in my new ak this weekend..Darn.
