I was wondering if anyone on here has heard of this, or actually does it themselves,

The 4 hour sleep cycle, here is an article about it:

http://www.businessinsider.com/this-guy-has-only-slept-45-hours-per-day-for-two-years-2013-11

For those of you who don't want to read the article, it is basically saying that we don't need 7-8 hours of sleep, and that if we train ourself, we can function just fine with only 4 hours. The article goes into a real-life example of a guy who has been doing this for 2 years, and it also talks about the scientific side of things.

I first heard about this a couple of years ago, and it is something that I find incredibly appealing, as I am a night person for sure. I do my most productive work late at night, but I also would like to get into the habit of waking up early in the morning to go to the gym. I was wondering if anyone does this? Or if there is anyone who has thought doing it? I'd love to hear y'alls thoughts!
