It's the middle of the night where I am (as I write this), and I really need to get to sleep...
Wouldn't it be great if you could squeeze 8 hours of sleep into 2 or 3?
Well, some researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison promise just that!
They say with some kind of magnetic stimulation device attached to your head, you can go straight into deep sleep... And squeeze a full night of sleep into 2 or 3 hours...
Who couldn't use more time? :)
Here's the article, for night owls who still need to wake up early... :)

P.S. The other way to get less sleep is possibly through "polyphasic sleep" (also known as "Da Vinci sleep"), where you sleep in naps of 20 to 30 minutes, in 6 equally spaced times per day (for a total of around 3 hours of sleep daily). One guy did it - his journal of his experience is very fascinating... http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/10/polyphasic-sleep/
