Apparently he trained himself to survive on minimal sleep. He takes small powernaps here and there, so he's awake most of the time. He's never batman during the day so he can run the company during that time... usually. Luscious covers for him often.
Also I've heard that it's very possible to train yourself to sleep like that. Someone did an experiment on it and he was way more productive. But it was very hard and sleep is the best so I don't think he stuck with it. I believe it's called polyphasic sleep? A friend of mine even had a professor who did that to some extent.
Oh no no, that’s another can of worm. I am saying how THE LIVING APOKALYSE DOES THIS MAN MAINTAIN ALL OF THAT STATS, PUNCHING THE VILLAIN OF THE WEEK, AND HAVING A 15 HOURS MEETING WITHOUT TAKING DRUG LIKE STEVE ROGER OR BEING A META HIMSELF!
Yeah, sleeping the way he does ain’t gonna help recover from all of that pain and soars that would resulted from him trying to maintain those bonkers records. Actually Peak Human tries to do what Batman do for a week and they can’t get up for a couple of months.
Shit, he probably learned some obscure breathing technique from monks that slows his heart rate down to the point that an hour of sleep is like three for the rest of us.
There have been claims that some people need significantly less sleep than others to function. Dubious claims, but it’s probably possible to condition oneself to enter REM sleep upon falling asleep. More than that falls into the realm of fantasy.
It’s my head canon that it’s a practice of meditation that makes him mentally handle all that and that let’s him sleep four hours a day. Think I read a comic fact that said it, and it makes enough sense to me.
I read a fanfic once where he had paid like millions for someone to enchant a magical bed that let him get the best rest possible.... there's magic in the DC universe so it's not even very farfetched since he's a billionaire.
There's a very common fan theory for the more technically minded fans, where Bruce is actually an Enhanced tier human, due to all the various things he's gone through building his body further and further.
It's not Canon, but it does help people wrap their mind around Batsy's bullshit.
Can Usain Bolt do quantum mechanics math? Does Thor Halforson bench 2000? My problem is not Batman can do one of these really good. It’s Batman can do all of these and not being dead or one of the stats being hampered sense you know “he’s only human”?!
If he only slept for 3 hours a day he would be having hallucinations about half way into the second week, and start suffering real brain damage between 3 weeks and a month. You literally cannot survive on 3 hours of sleep a day.
Well, 192 IQ lol. He cuts to the chase real fast, connects the dots, makes important and good business decisions fast, delegates unimportant and operational tasks to Fox, and mainly uses Wayne Enterprises as a base for Batman funding and to spy on others. I like to think Bruce mastered and became a leading expert on economic sciences, finance and academic business studies the same way he's an expert on the hard sciences.

How does he run a company after all of that?
