Do we really need sleep to survive?

I am beginning to think that we can, in fact, live on very little sleep. Mothers have been doing it for years after having a child. In college, it seemed like I could go for a couple of days during finals on very little sleep. So what is with this constant headache that I seem to have? I guess not sleeping at all or at least getting 4 hours straight is better than 1-2 hours of sleep at a time. You never really get into the deep sleep where you feel rested.

I have trouble sleeping during the day, so when Baby K wakes up at around 8 or 9 am for his morning feeding, that is it for me. I would love to take a nap when he is napping, but instead, I am blogging, cleaning the house, reading a book, etc.

Right now, he is waking up so it is feeding time again. Every 3 hours, almost like clockwork.
