How Little Sleep Can You Get Away With?

In what was the longest sleep-restriction study of its kind, Dinges and his lead author, Hans Van Dongen, assigned dozens of subjects to three different groups for their 2003 study: some slept four hours, others six hours and others, for the lucky control group, eight hours — for two weeks in the lab.

We had a family friend who was a sniper in Vietnam. He swore that he could get by with two hours sleep a night and I know that there is a very small percentage of the population that that's true of.

I need about 6 1/2 - 7hrs minimum. I like to have about 8hrs.
