Once I was watching an interview about a writer who’s known for his strategic planning training. In the interview, he mentioned that sleeping is just a natural habit which we should give it the least time.
He mocked those who “feel panic when they don’t sleep exact 8 hours”. While I agree that we shouldn’t restrict ourselves to sleep for 8 hours. But he seemed to underestimate the importance to have adequate sleep. His words were trying to convey that sleeping is useless. That we aren’t supposed to give it this much of attention.
This concept is getting popular nowadays. Even from famous personalities in the old and modern time:
Thomas Edison
“Sleep is a criminal waste of time and a heritage from our cave days.” -Thomas Edison.
Nikola Tesla
In a biography related Nikola Tesla claims that he sleeps 2 hours:
He labored feverishly in his laboratory; and he lay in bed at night for his five-hours rest, which included two hours of sleep, he formulated new experiments.
