Just a quickie note here:

I read about this Tibetan monk who is baffling modern day
scientists. He has functioned normally for the past 30
years or so WITHOUT A SINGLE MOMENT OF SLEEP.

It's true. This monk seems to have achieved a certain
state of consciousness which allows him to revitalize
his mind, even while having conversations with other
people.

It sounds absurd and impossible, but you might have
already heard of the phenomenon of mind over matter.
Shaminism, ESP, Mysticism, all of this might be explained
by mind over matter. Perhaps this sleepless state which
the Tibetan monk achieved is a fruit of superior mental
discipline.

At any rate, wouldn't it be great to be able to go on
without sleep?
