That you are still just as brain dead as the first time you asked this
and still a troll.....remember....you asked :)

I think you are out of your mind!!!  It will catch up to you, and you will
"crash and burn."  Stop torturing your body -- it's the only one you get.  Now,
grow up and take some responsibility for yourself.

Yes, it is possible to SURVIVE on very little sleep, but who wants to just
SURVIVE?  Most of us here do not get very little sleep by choice.  People
live much healthier, happier and more productive lives with the proper amount
of sleep.  When I was a teenager and in my twenties, I was able to survive on
little sleep by choice also, because I had better things to do - the
difference being, when I did NEEDED to sleep, I was ABLE to.

To a point, you can, but your body goes through a series of neurological
changes with each level of sleep that you go through.  These are repair
sessions for your nervous system and some believe that very important
brain chemistry is affected by the lack of sleep.

The more physically fit a person is, the less sleep they need, but that
can go only so far.  In order for your brain and nervous system to
function at their peak level, you must have a certain amount of hours of
sleep each day.  That amount depends on the individual, but most people
are not in top shape and they usually indicate they feel at their best
with a minimum of eight hours each night.  Also, that eight hours has to
fall within your normal sleep time, otherwise it is not as effective.
The reason for this is that your brain is designed to activate your
sleep cycle the same time each day.  As a child, you developed a pattern
which you will find that your brain is still expecting.  Each morning,
you brain begins to awake at the same time, therefore, if you went to
bed too late, your brain will begin to pull you out of the deepest level
of sleep about the same time as it normally would if you had gone to bed
on time.  In this event, your level of sleep will not be as deep though
you continue to sleep past your normal wake up period.  Thus, you will
sleep many hours, but since they do not fall within your normal pattern,
you feel as though you did not sleep very well.
Bottom line: You need many hours to reach the deepest level of sleep
where brain chemistry and nuerological functions slow.  This ultra deep
level lasts only a short period, but is the most important level which
takes most of the night to reach.  If you do not allow yourself enough
hours within your normal sleep period, you will not reach it no matter
how late you sleep the next day.  You will awake feeling less than your
best.

Andrew,

Perhaps, since you are young yet, you think torture of prisoners of war is
only something someone imagined.  But it's fact.  Sleep deprivation is an
effective ways to torture a prisoner.  Eventually it destroys the body.
Don't self inflict the torture.  Not everyone requires 8 to 12 hours of
sleep.  But EVERYONE requires adequate sleep.  It is NOT self control and
conditioning.  Over the long haul, it will
KILL   !!!
