BBC - Future - The people who need very little sleep

What would you do with your time if you only had to sleep a couple of hours a night and felt wide awake and alert?

I can get away with 4 or 5 hours for several days but I'm tired and need to make it up at the weekends.

    I lived on almost no sleep for decades. It's nice to have the time as long as you can still concentrate. When I was in my late 20's and going to college, I could stay up for 48 hours and still think clearly. I can't do it now. When I get tired my brain turns to mush. I can't function at all if I have less than 4 hours sleep and I end up in bed early that night. I need at least 6 to be able to function at optimal levels and 7 if there's a lot of extended physical strain involved in what I'm doing.
