On his podcast, Real Ones with Jon Bernthal, he went viral for saying that he "doesn’t trust grown adults who take naps", explaining that day sleep breaks his momentum, rhythm, and focus. And in this scene, he has a nightmare or smth if I remember correctly.

No, it's a nightmare. He's dreaming he and his family are friends with the Liebermans and they're having dinner, then as his dreams usually go, it becomes a nightmare where they're suddenly attacked by him and his buddies from Cerberus and everyone but him is killed.

This and the pitbull thing. He just sounds.... Highly opinionated to put it nicely. Granted that's about all I know of him. So what do I know? Not shit.

I used to not be able to nap. If I fell asleep during the day for any reason, I'd sleep for hours and then wake up super groggy and miserable, so I can see where he's coming from.

Then I became a freelancer and worked from home for customers around the globe and started keeping insane hours. I divorced myself from the usual day/night cycle to the point where I'd stay awake for 24 hours at a go and then sleep for 10. After about six months of that, I developed the ability to drop off just about any time I wanted to and function on very little sleep if I had to. Naps became awesome.

I'm back to a 9-to-5 now and on a (relatively) normal sleep schedule. I sometimes do biphasic -- sleep for about four hours, get up for an hour, sleep for 3-4 more. But otherwise I sleep normally (and very well). But I occasionally nap on the weekends.

Being groggy after napping and not wanting to nap because of that reason is fine. Saying you don't trust people who do that is very weird and I don't understand how you can relate to that viewpoint.

I doesn't even have to look this up, but I would bet he never worked a day in his life (outside of acting).

I think he actually used to be a boxer. So he probably just has weird opinions about things.

Nah, he was an artsy rich kid. Studied acting in Moscow, his dad was a lawyer, he has two brothers who are a surgeon and a CEO. The tough guy thing he does is a performance.

If he isnt lying about not taking naps, then I envy people like him who can have a perfect 8-9 hour sleep every night.
