I read an article today about a guy who heads a large agency in the entertainment industry. The piece claimed he slept about 3 hours a night, and the rest of his time was devoted to reading scripts and putting together call lists for the next day.
I tried to figure out how someone could function on 3 hours of sleep a night...and I'm sure it's possible for a short amount of time, but I can't believe someone would do that day in and day out for very long. Like, today, I'm working off of about 5 hours, and I'm just about too pooped to kick out a few paragraphs.
I figured he was just spreading propaganda, like, if his fierce Hollywood agent competitors think, hey, if he sleeps three hours a night, then I better- by Gjod - sleep three hours too, otherwise, I'm gonna fall behind. Then after a week or two of that, they'll be so burnt out that they just quit. That's what I think.
But, it seems pretty well documented that Da Vinci slept very little, or at least had unusual sleeping habits, and he's been well remembered for the last 400 or so years, probably by getting 5-9 hours of consciousness more than the average fellow. So maybe there is something to sleeping little bits, and staying awake. If I can get the Handsome Raccoon to get off his ass and make some damn coffee. I might just begin to experiment with this sleep thing tonight.

I look all cracked out in the morning if I don't get enough sleep (which is all the time, since I feel I never get enough sleep). Supposedly, the body doesn't really need sleep- just REM sleep(the GOOD SLEEP). And supposedly, just 20 mins of it can go a long way. But you can't just MAKE your body get REM sleep, and that blows.
Make the raccoon pay rent or make coffee. You've got to draw the line somewhere.
Hmm, raccoon's paying rent...I'm interested.
