I'm curious how the few famous people that do not sleep at all, what's going on in their biochemestry? I don't mean celebrities, there are a few people who became famous because they do not sleep. They hold 2 complete careers, one during the day and one at night to keep from getting bored.

- portaouflop 1y agoThey have a different gene expression which leads to them needing less sleep.
- drw85 1y agoI don't think any of those actually do not sleep. They probably sleep less than normal and skimp on sleep, but i have a hard time believing that they actually do not sleep at all.
- dboreham 1y agoThey could also be liars.

- bearl 1y agoWe microsleep whenever we blink. Or at least that was the old science, maybe there’s a new explanation.
- SamBam 1y agoI've never heard that, it doesn't really make sense given what we know about REM sleep and slow-wave sleep, and the Wikipedia page on blinking doesn't mention that at all, not even as an old theory.
