Abstract
It is what many of us dream of: to sleep for only a fraction of our usual sleep time and still feel so well rested and attentive that daytime productivity does not suffer and extra time is gained. Of those who have tried to achieve this dream, few if any have succeeded. After skipping most sleep for a single night, we notice an increased sleep pressure that compels us to soon make up for the lost sleep. Is there no way to escape the characteristic homeostatic buildup of sleep pressure with an increasing duration of wakefulness?
