My observations of people, who sleep less, is that they have many health problems.
Personally I have gone through many kinds of transformations, but I need as much sleep as before. The quality of sleeping has changed however. There is very little dreaming, at least I don't remember them. I'm often while sleeping partly conscious and in deep restful meditative states and often going through many kinds of transformative processes. I don't believe these stories told by the TB:s about their guru's not needing to sleep. I would be convinced only if independent observers where following those gurus 24 hours a day for two weeks and they could document that these people actually were fully active all the time without the deep rest experienced through sleep.
