Biking on 6 or less hours sleep? - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

Because of my anxiety I'm often worried that doing this could somehow be
*dangerous*. I have no empirical or scientific evidence to back this up,
it just doesn't feel healthy. It feels good when I do it, but I still
worry. It's become more of a problem lately because my stress is up at my
new job and I'm not sleeping well. Do you guys bike on low sleep?

Don't invent things to worry about, Preston. If you feel okay while doing
it, then where is the problem?

I've biked on 4 hours of sleep. I normally only get 5 or 6 hours anyway.

The problem is when you have anxiety (like I do) you do invent things to
worry about. Especially when work is crazy and your anxiety is at a fever
pitch and you aren't sleeping well. The whole program starts to go
haywire.

Okay. Thanks. That makes me feel a little better.
