Given that I work full time, have two kids (one being a newborn), and play in a band I sleep very little 4-6 hours a night.

That said, I've been doing this for almost a decade when I was in graduate school and working full time.

Over the last 13 years I've probably put on 10-15 lbs. I try to exercise at LEAST 3 times a week while eating as healthy as I can within reason.

Sleep is critical for memory retention, keeping up your immune system, maintaining serotonin level, general stress relief, etc. With that said if you have to you can adapt running on limited amounts. You'll have to be careful w/ weight gain or depression.



Totally agree about the kids. However, it is the one thing that I would gladly give up sleep for.
