The Spooky “Sleepless Elite”

Out of every 100 people who believe they only need five or six hours of sleep a night, only about five people really do.

The good news in this article about sleep deprivation and the “Sleepless Elite” — the 1–3% of the population who truly only need a few hours of sleep each night to function well — is that the Sleepless Elite sound freaky and unpleasant: “They talk fast. They never stop. They’re always on the up side of life.” They’re also thin and happy, and they feel less pain. There was going to be a vampire joke here, too, but now there’s not.
