No.... How we can sleep 7-8 hours a day? The fact is that the famous personalities in the history has slept very less. Nepolian Bonaparte was only having sleep while he travel from army camp to another. Also, I heard (so not sure) that PM Indira Gandhi was slepping 2-3 hours a day only. If you sleep 8 hours a day and work another 12 hours, what balance hours you have to live?

Dear Kancheri,
I agree with your point but take a look on below points;
National Sleep Foundation says;
The sleep requirements for each person depend on many factors, including age. For example, in general:
• Infants require about 16 hours a day.
• Teenagers need about nine hours on average.
• Most adults need seven to eight hours a night for the best amount of sleep, although some people may need as few as five hours or as many as 10 hours of sleep each day.
• Women in the first three months of pregnancy often need several more hours of sleep than usual.
SEE THE ATTACHED
However, experts say that if you feel drowsy during the day, even during boring activities, you haven't had enough sleep.
Sleep Debt
The amount of sleep a person needs also increases if he or she has been deprived of sleep in previous days. Getting too little sleep creates a "sleep debt," which is much like being overdrawn at a bank. Eventually, your body will demand that the debt be repaid. We don't seem to adapt to getting less sleep than we need, while we may get used to a sleep-depriving schedule, our judgment, reaction time, and other functions are still impaired.
Consequences of Too Little Sleep
Too little sleep may cause:
• Memory problems
• Depression
• A weakening of your immune system, increasing your chance of becoming sick
• Increase in perception of pain
The Risks of Sleep Deprivation
Many studies make it clear that sleep deprivation is dangerous. Sleep-deprived people who are tested by using a driving simulator or by performing a hand-eye coordination task perform as badly as or worse than those who are intoxicated.
Sleep deprivation also magnifies alcohol's effects on the body, so a fatigued person who drinks will become much more impaired than someone who is well rested.
Driver fatigue is responsible for an estimated 100,000 motor vehicle accidents and 1,500 deaths each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Since drowsiness is the brain's last step before falling asleep, driving while drowsy can -- and often does -- lead to disaster. Caffeine and other stimulants cannot overcome the effects of severe sleep deprivation.
The National Sleep Foundation says that if you have trouble keeping your eyes focused, if you can't stop yawning, or if you can't remember driving the last few miles, you are probably too drowsy to drive safely.

Dear Kancheri
It seems to be mistaken that Indra Gandhi and Nepolean have become famous because they sleep less and utilize maximum hours at work.
I think, they had to spent more time on work because of their position demands. Their success is not due to less sleeping hours.

Hi Guys,
it is suitable only for rich and well to do people
not for those who has a burning desire to excel.
if u have not reached the goal, how do u feel asleep
history is evident that many great personalities slept very less
that's the difference why they are called so and what we are
