HOW TO BE OLD #1

How to live to be old is a secret I found out about years ago. If one sleeps 4 hours per night… you get two lifetimes. Instead of working and living one shift, you work two and for every day one does this they have two days in one. Work twenty, sleep four; also known as 20/4.

For example, my friend Jim is a retired orthopedic surgeon. He started his 20/4 training in med school and then residency and moved into a lifetime of 10 hours in office calls and 10 hours of surgery and 4 hours sleep. So, his two, or more, life times make him 150-180 years old. Simple.

Another example. Chuck, my other smart brother, is retired from fire suppression and law enforcement for the Forest Service. He worked 20-hour shifts, slept 4 hours, making it possible to live two lifetimes in one. He is now 155-175 years old, maybe older. Again, simple.

Truck Drivers… drive day and night for 20 hours. Sleep 4 hours, 20/4. If he/she is 40 years old… they could be 90 to 100.

Small Business Owners… work 14 hours; worry 6 hours and sleep 4 hours. They can be very old like my friend John who is 140 years old.

School Teachers… at school 12 hours, grade papers 4 hours and cry 4 hours. That’s 20 hours and then they try to sleep four. This rightfully makes them very old and cranky.

A lot of people don’t work much and sleep a lot and so they can be 50 years old and actually only be 30. They are usually very boring people.
