Sleep theory.

There's a theory that human beings only need 5.5 hours of sleep per night. 5.5 hours is the minimum time required to hit each stage of sleep and get the necessary amount of time in REM sleep.

Of course, Dr. Cosgrove says you won't realize the benefits of this schedule unless you allow yourself about 30 days to acclimate. If your body is used to 8 hours, it's not going to take 5.5 hours without a fight. I don't think I care to test the theory myself (at least not on purpose).
