Depends on whether or not you need it. Some people don't, others do. Tesla in particular drove himself nuts by not sleeping enough.

Tesla drove himself based by sleeping little enough to minimize normity.

Maybe if you're a CEO and your job consists of going to board meetings and regurgitating some corporate speak you don't really need 8 hours.
But if you actually think for a living you need to sleep.

A growing number of companies are just going without a CEO.
Musk spends all day shitposting instead of running his 3 companies.
A CEO can go golfing all day and the company will run itself, but if the line workers take the day off everything grinds to a halt.

It entirely depends on what company and what field. If it's finance or banking, I can guarantee they pull at least 70 hours per week. Anyways your argument doesn't make any sense, do you think Tesla, Da Vinci or Voltaire didn't do serious thinking?

Are there legit ways to reduce sleep without it messing too much with your health? I'm going hard into anti-aging. It's sort of depressing how at 26 half of the people my age already look at least 5 years older. I know lack of sleep can fuck with your skin and mental capabilities.

Lower probability :^)

>Another common trait among people with familial natural short sleep is an increased ability at recalling memories.[16] Other common traits include outgoing personality, high productiveness, lower body mass index than average (possibly due to faster metabolism), higher resilience and heightened pain tolerance.[16][17][18][13][19][20]

Depends on person and lifestyle. Especially for those who lived back then their lives weren’t as fast paced as ours. They could probably get off on 2-3 hours of sleep because it was some real quality sleep
