Sleep is such a waste of time, though!

I wish! I need my 8 hours. I once met a guy who did fine on 4. He had time for two hobbies while the rest of the family slept.

He sounds like me! Although 4 is pushing it, I currently get 4-5hrs/day 6 days a week the I need to get at least 6-7 for that 7th day.

Lucky bastard! I have run on 5 hours for as many as 5 days, but then I crashed and had to sleep a lot for the next week.

I have no choice in the matter. My kids get me up to make sure they get off to school, then I look after my 5 yr old till he goes to school in the afternoon. Then I workout or do house chores etc. till they get home around 3:30PM. I sometimes toss a 1 hr nap into the fray in the afternnon to catch up a little. I am then off to work myself at 5PM-2:30AM asleep around 3:30 - 4AM and up around 8AM, to another joyous day. Getting to spend all that time in the mornigs with my kids has been worth the sleep deprivation, although my wife says my hair is turning grey at an alarming rate these days. I think I've earned it.

I hear you on that one. I got to spend some extended time with my kids when they were younger.

Damn, I don't think I could keep up with that schedule though. I tried to live on 6 hours a night once when I was commuting. I was useless after about 5 months.

Coming up on 9 yrs in a couple of weeks for me. I think there are times when I resemble my avatar a little too closely.
