What you do is sleep for 20 minutes every 4 hours. But you CAN'T break this pattern once you start. That way you're getting 2 hours of sleep per day. It's really difficult and many people give up before making it to day 10. Day 4 is when it get's really hard I think. It's been researched by NASA and its healthy but don't take my word for it. I'm hoping to try it. Maybe some time this month.
I read a blog a few years ago about a guy who persisted and managed to achieve this... although I think it was 30 per 6 hours. Sounds interesting but if you have to interact with family or even just the outside world I think it's going to cause some issues... what if you're scheduled to go to an event that starts 3 hours after your last sleep?
