No wonder he's unhinged. Must be on red bull.

Lots of people do that.

Some people function well on that. Some not so well.

One of the best / most successful project managers I've worked with slept 4-5 hours each night, got up at 5 am, worked out, worked 12 hours or more, sometimes 6 or 7 days per week. #beastmode

Some people are just wired this way. Nothing strange about it.

Tell that to the tech companies that want to continue to farm the immigrants. They should Unionize.
But alas, that is when they would cut the immigrant loose.

Thomas Jefferson is considered to be a polyphasic sleeper. He slept only 2 hours a day.
Though, in letters to Doctor Vine Utley (1819), Thomas Jefferson writes about his sleep habits. We can conclude that his sleep was not very regular, he would go to sleep at different times (often late into the night), he would always devote at least 30 min. to creative reading before sleep, he would fall asleep later if the reading was of particular interest, and he would regularly wake up at sunrise.

One of the greatest inventors claimed to sleep just 2 - 3 hours a day.
"I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything."
~ Nikola Tesla

Some sources claim that the legendary artist Leonardo Da Vinci was able to stay awake and alert almost 22 hours of every day, all the while working on brilliant artworks and inventions. He slept only 1.5 - 2 hours a day taking a nap 15 - 20 minutes for every four hours that he was awake.

The great scientist remarked that he slept less than 5 hours a night.
"Most people overeat 100 percent, and oversleep 100 percent, because they like it. That extra 100 percent makes them unhealthy and inefficient. The person who sleeps eight or ten hours a night is never fully asleep and never fully awake - they have only different degrees of doze through the twenty-four hours."
~ Thomas Edison

Sir Isaac Newton needed 3-4 hours of sleep daily.
He worked so long and hard, often without sleep for days that he became ill from exhaustion.

Winston Churchill was said to sleep 5 hours a night on average, but he did at least advocate a substantial daily nap on top of that modest allowance.
He would wake at 8, spend the morning in bed reading papers, dictating letters, etc., take a long nap at tea time, and work till as late as 3 am. He averaged 5-6 hours of sleep per day.

Looks like Trump may be in good company.

I think the last guy slept in until the sun was nice and warm before he woke refreshed, brushed the crumbs off of his chest and started his day.

Most successful people get 4-5 hours.

Fail.

Typical the OP isn't used to work and sleep all day!

I get 4 or 5 hours... on top of 3 more.

I always wonder what it would have been like to run the Uberman sleep schedule back when I had the energy and circumstance for it.

I sleep on average 4 hours a night but will crash about once every couple weeks for 8 or so. If I don't keep busy it's easy for me to doze off but hardly ever over 15 minutes. If I laid down and don't fall right to sleep I might as well get right back up because my mind will start thinking and with in 10 minutes I will be fully awake and alert.

I'M OK with 6.

I generally get 8, but I can go with 4, it just takes a little more time to wake up.

I get up about 4 am no matter the time I go to bed.

I too wake at the same time regardless of when I go to bed, but I'm more in the 6-6:30 range. If I woke at four, I'd often only get 3-4 hours of sleep

same here on the weekdays. I catch up big time on the weekend.

I normally do about 7. When I was younger I could function very well on 4 or 5 hours for a week if needed and got caught up on weekends. Now I can only do it 2 or 3 nights before it starts to effect me.
