Nikola Tesla

One of the greatest inventors claimed to sleep just 2 - 3 hours a day."I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything."~ Nikola Tesla"Tesla who could indeed work throughout the night, would often crash for the entire day of sleep after his exploits. He exhibited classic signs of manic creativity, which might have been interrupted by short recuperative naps or long recovery sleep. Otherwise, Tesla was nothing more than a short sleeper."~ Polyphasic Sleep: Facts and MythsLifetime: 87 years
