Lifehack: Sleeping every other night

My problem is that I don't LIKE to sleep. I usually have no problems once I lay down. And, once I'm asleep, I sleep soundly and long (9+ hours, if allowed).

But, back in college I realized 2 things. One, people WASTE 1/3 of their lives doing nothing but holding a bed down. Yes, I know that it's technically not "wasted", as your body is recuperating and whatnot. But, mammals don't "need" that much sleep (we humans have just evolved that way). Giraffes in the wild only need about 20 minutes of sleep per day. http://www.livescience.com/27336-giraffes.html

I average around 4-5 hours of sleep per night. It's every night, but I go to bed around 1am or so, and sleep until 6. On weekends, I might sleep until 8 or 9am Been doing this for almost 15 years now.

Think about what you could accomplish if you only required 1-2 hours of sleep per night!! You could effectively have another job and double your income. You could become a semi-pro at some hobby you love (racecars, parasailing, whatever). It'd be awesome.

I've understood the need to sleep more than 8 hours. I find anything over 5-6 makes me sluggish and sleepy.
