Did you know Shah Rukh Khan can get by with just four hours of sleep? And that's certainly not because he's an insomniac. Khan belongs to what scientists have identified a small group of people called the 'sleepless elite,' for whom a lie-in is a waste of time.
Rather than being tired, bad-tempered under-achievers, the 'sleepless elite' are an energetic, outgoing and optimistic group who can happily and healthily get by on just four or five hours of shut-eye a night.
They also tend to be slim, able to hold down two jobs at the same time, and breeze through their extra-long days without needing caffeine pick-me-ups or catnaps.
American scientists who studied an extended family in California focused on a mother and daughter who appeared perfectly healthy despite their shared lifelong habit of getting up early in the morning, having gone to bed close to midnight.
