[...] How would you like it if you could take a pill and not have to sleep more than 2 hours a night? Think of how productive and enriched you could be with a 22-hour day. My friend Aaron blogged about drug developments in the area of sleep elimination recently (following a brief Popular Science mention). In the comments, one blogger related his own experiences with so-called polyphasic sleep, and pointed out the biggest barrier to him was sore eyes. I’ve read (in Dr. Ferber’s books among other places) the natural condition is a 25-hour cycle of mono-phasic sleep. I think my own preference would be something like a 30-hour day: 20 hours of wakefulness and 10 hours of sleep. Unfortunately that’s just not realistic. I can get by with 5 hours of sleep a night for a week or so, but then need to catch up. Kimi really needs 8 or 9 hours. Sammy is cranky without 13 (11 hours overnight, then a 2 hour nap in the afternoon). It seems like we’re probably still a few years off from a no-sleep pill being generally available, and even then it will come with costs. The extra hours will probably be only fit for “zombie tasks” since it appears creative thinking generally isn’t available without normal sleep. And there are those sore eyes. I also suspect that long-term studies will uncover other problems, including possibly increased vulnerability to colds and infections.
