Has there ever been a documented medical case of someone surviving on less than 3 hours of sleep a night indefinitely?

I've read a lot of sleep studies, and besides some non-scientifically published variations on Buckminster Fuller's 30 minute nap every six hour sleep schedule I haven't read about someone getting such low amounts of sleep.



I've been on that little sleep for months. It takes away from any clear thought. Very unproductive. Not something anyone should do on purpose.


Why are you on it? Covid insomnia?


Welcome to parent life! Especially if the kid have colic


I had a bad reaction to a 10 day cipro prescription a few years ago and it felt like getting hit by lightening. So many things returned to normal but being able to sleep for more than 4 1/2 hours, was not one of them.


Baby.
