Don't get me wrong - I love to sleep. But I would love it if I could live on only 4 hours of sleep - without beeing sleepy and grumpy and bitchy... I could do so much more!

Today I found an article about new findings on sleeping habbits of dolphins and killer whales. It turns out that the dolphin newborns don't sleep at all in the first month after birth. And their mothers adapt (I wonder if they get grumpy?):

"Their bodies have found a way to cope, offering evidence that sleep isn't necessary for development and raising the question of whether humans and other mammals have untapped physiological potential for coping without sleep"

OK, I want to try it. Where do I sign up?

(By the way, this article is based on a paper from the latest issue of Nature)
