It seems like every time I meet someone who claims they need less than 6 hours of sleep, they are either notably sleep deprived, or they exclude the fact they sleep longer on the weekend and don't bother counting all the random naps.

If anyone knows of a credible resource and testimonials of a program that lets a person go from 7-8 hours of sleep to 4-5 hours please share a link. In every other domain of human ability you can usually train for improvement and I am skeptical that sleep can't be one. This assumes people aren't reporting bad data or secretly taking Provigil.



I've also found this to be the case, I used to sleep 3 hours per night, take an hour nap afterwards, and on weekends I'd sleep 12 hours or so per night. My averages sleep per week was 55 hours, or about 8 hours per day. It all evened out on a weekly basis, although I don't think sleep is supposed to work that way...
