I read this book called "powerful sleep" and the guy basically says shorter periods of sleep (around 5 hours or so) will make you sharper, more energetic, and overall healthier. Of course he said the sleep has to be better, by improving it with comfort, diet, and all this stuff along with it. |

I only get around 6-7 hours a sleep most days, and I've been able to have lucids. That doesn't mean I have lucids quite frequently, it's about once a week or so. |

Sometimes I get lucid dreams when I've only slept for 5 hours. |

Sure, why not?

I can work well with 6 hours, but I prefer to sleep at least 8. I wouldn't say it is healthier to have less sleep; the body & mind is taken care of during the sleep after all. |

For some reason I think 8 hrs is a massive waste.. maybe when I was younger.. but now I function fine with just 5. |

Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.
If not having enough enjoyable stuff to do during the waking hours, dreaming for long is nice. |

I just wanted to point out that as an extreme insomniac I get roughly two hours of sleep a night. I can go to bed a midnight, 1:00, 1:30, 3:00 am, really doesn't matter what time of night I almost always fall asleep after the sun has rised. For these past couple of days that time was between 7:30 to 8:00. And I would wake up roughly around 10:00. . So two real hours of sleep. |

Go to http://polyphasic.org , They got lots of information on polyphasic sleeping, which is when you train your body to go through a full nights worth of sleep phases in a matter of a few hours, its done by forcing yourself to only sleep by taking 20 or so minute naps throughout the day for several weeks, at some point your body adjusts and makes an entire sleep cycle happen within 20 mins, typically it takes about 90 mins. Then you go back to a single nights sleep and you supposedly only need a few hours of sleep from that point on. I attempted this once but I couldn't pull it off for several reasons, mainly because I didn't have the will, I don't have a reason to need shorter sleep. |
