No he was my Sergeant in the Army. I am not in the Army no more so I do not know what he does now. But I do know that he was up all the time! Never saw him sleep even when we were deployed! I do not know what was the deal, but I assure you that is how it was. Lots of people in the army only get 4 hours of sleep a day. I did it for 2 years at one point. He slept less than that, by far!!!

 

Point is if you do not sleep then you will be unstoppable Jay.


Oh, figures. A Sergeant in the Army. Army pepople are superhuman.

Unstoppable, huh? That sounds nice. I could do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Now I just need something to do. But what? What can I do with this power? hmm...

One of the many enigmas of sleep is how many people only require 2-4 hours of sleep every night to function, do not require more and do not suffer from exaustion. In fact, 7.5 - 8 is the average, but like all things there is a scale and a small percentage of people will truly sleep only the small amounts of time Spurge was describing. I agree they are lucky bastardos. As for myself I can get by with 5 1/2 to 6 hours of sleep every day and not suffer sleep deprivation from it. It's all been studied in sleep studies and the mysteries behind it are still, yet to be unravled.
