How or when do McCall sleep?


according to the movie, he cant sleep at night thats why he go to the diner, but he works at home depot during the day, plus he helps his work mates after work. i wonder how or where he get all his energy.

i work 10 hours a day, 1 hour breaktime, 4 hours from and to the office, then house chores. im left with 5 hours sleep and im having a hard time. id like to know his secret.

I was like that for years; 12 hour shifts 3 or 4 days a week, doing laundry, shopping, and blogging most of the night! I survived with 2-4 hours of napping sporadically until I was almost 40 when diagnosed with apnea! Finally got some decent sleep with c-pap machine! You wind up cranky, but I never killed anyone; though I would have loved to! lol!

I guess your brain doesn't work very well with not enough sleep. Go to sleep now.

Jerk off might work for some people (all people) - use your socks *genius advice*
Also this youtube video is proven to cure insomnias.

They are using it on hospitals in some places. I don't think you should go to drugs right away.

It's not that simple.

Circadian rhythm,how your brain is wired, training, personal habits are factors.

Some people just don't need as much sleep. Your body can be trained to need less sleep, something spec ops and the secret agent club would know about.

He does sleep, just not much. He looks to wake up around 2am ish so he's probably getting at least 4 hours or so a day.

I've had OCD insomnia since I was a kid. It's rare for me to sleep longer than 3 hours at a shot. It's just how I'm wired. I can function normally without noticeable fatigue for about 39 hours. The 24 hour crew is ready to drop, stop and snore halfway through my day.

You're screwed buddy. Get used to being tired. It sounds like you're a hard worker though so at some point what you sacrifice in sleep now will pay off. Just hang in there.

he works at home depot
Seriously? I have yet to see this film but loved the original 80's series when I was a kid...so I guess the movie bares little resemblance to the TV show. I just can't imagine Robert McCall working in a hardware store....

His secret is not to exist in real life. I feel for you, traveling two hours each way to/from work?!?
