I have never slept for 8hrs, not even close. I sometimes wonder how people can sleep for that long and what their jobs and life's must be like. After 5-7hrs I usually wake up feeling totally refreshed and ready to go (even better after my first coffee ;))

You are lucky :) Some math - 1 hour a day less sleep than "normal" people give you:

1 hr * 365 days / 24 hours in day ~ 15 days.

And these are 24hours day. What it really should be:

1 hr * 365 days / (24 hours in day - 6 hours you sleep on average) ~ 21 days.

Which is, well, in office terms, work month :) congrats, you got 1/12 life for free :)

I don't think sleep can be counted out of life.

Dreams are the most beautiful things to ever happen to humans. I have always lived two lives one in dreams and one while am awake.

And some experiences that I've had dreaming just can't be had while I'm awake.
