Echoing a lot of other comments here. I can think I thrive on less than 8 hours of sleep, but I don't. I don't wake up to an alarm clock and feel rested and all that. But the reason I don't need the alarm clock is because I use my environment as an alarm clock. Once the combo of temperature and lighting hit a certain sweet spot, I'm up. If I want to sleep longer, I go to bed earlier so that the sweet spot is 8 hours out rather than 6 or less. If I allow myself, my sleep requirements is 8 hours. I'm glad I'm not "gifted" and I wouldn't want a magic pill or treatment which would make me that way. We need 8 hours of sleep. If I'm smart enough, I can figure out how to make my day with 8 hours of sleep. I'm not smart enough to believe that getting by on less than 8 hours of sleep is a good thing regardless of how I feel or what technology can do for me.
