I’ve known two people that sleep very little. One was a guy from google that managed a team and also taught and did other stuff.

I was doing the math and it didn’t make sense so I asked him about it and he said that he only slept 5 hours a day and it’s stressful on his family life, and that his dr keeps telling him it’s not healthy.

The other person was someone that ran the company I worked for. I could tell by the remote access logs that he was going inactive around 2am and then would be back on by 6am. It didn’t seem possible and as a security concern I talked to him about it. He said that he barely sleeps. I verified it by talking to his assistants.

Both of these people were extremely successful in their careers. I think it’s some sort of OCD that they’ve harnessed.

If it’s since childhood or adolescence, it’s likely genetic. Short Sleeper Syndrome.

Oh so she's crazy for multiple reasons.

There are people who can do this, I've known some. It's probably genetic, and some people vary in the other direction.

I’m definitely on the other end of the spectrum! 8 hours is a normal day, 10-12 possible
