Anyone who sleeps more than 8 hours a night is either depressed, or has such a bad life, they don't care about missing valuable hours of the day. I would like to get 8 hours/night, but I currently get about 5 or 6. Why would you want to spend 50% of your life asleep? The days would fly by, and you'll get older faster.

its more about optimal performance. everything from memory to motor skills are affected by sleep deprovation. i've gone on as little as 4 hrs at times. but i'm a zombie. all those extra hours are spent pining away for a little more sleep.
