Do humans 'live' longer the less time they are asleep?

[QUOTE="Nosecel_, post: 62332, member: 71"] When you are sleeping your body is doing other functions, there's no way to escape sleep. Sleep debt is real, I'm not a scientist but I've tried to looking into it and as far as I'm aware there's a chemical called "adenosine" that your body removes as you are sleeping, not getting enough sleep just allows the chemical to build up, caffeine can temporarily block it but once it's effects run out you will still end up feeling progressively more tired, your brain and body becomes slower, your reaction time, etc. Losing sleep correlates with dementia, cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, blah blah all of the stuff you don't want. The way I see it is that avoiding sleep will just make you more tired, hurt your health, and you'll still need to make up the sleep anyway, so you shouldn't jeopardize your health to try and avoid it. Just sleep when you are tired and build everything else around that, again low IQ just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
