I think most people cannot handle functioning well by getting only 4 hours day after day. Personally, I find it quite difficult.
If I sleep less than 4 hours I'm likely going to have an hypoglycemic crisis when I wake up. It happened to me today.
I don't know why it happens, but it does. I need at least those 4 hours of sleep so that I don't get sick.
I try to get at least 5 hours sleep and prefer getting 7 hours. The hardest part is that I just can't sleep past sunrise unless I'm recovering from excessive partying the night before. So if I go to sleep at 3am and sunrise is 6:30am then I'm up with the sun.
In the winter I find it a lot harder as the sun rises later and later in the morning. I've even been finding myself falling asleep in the evening while watching anime that isn't boring.
I guess I must be solar powered.
ya dreams can be pretty messed up. i remember this one dream i had a while back.
i woke up (in my dream), and decided i was going to get a glass of water. i go down to my kitchen and get the water, when suddenly, a dog licks my hand. i look down and there is this crazy dog sitting on my floor. then i remember that we dont have a dog. so I look down and im like "hey. we dont have a dog..." and then the dog looks at me and says "hey ur not supposed to know that". and then i realized that the dog sounded like my friend tom (the crazy druggie dude i mentioned in one of my other posts). so i look at the dog and im like "hey wtf. u sound like my friend tom." and then the dog turns into my friend and starts circling around me. i stand there looking at him for a while until my doorbell rings. i go and answer the door and my MATH teacher is there bitching at me cause i failed a FRENCH test. at this point i was like WTF!!! and then my teacher stopped yelling at me and told me to wake up. and i did (in real life).
the only reason i remember that one is cause it was so friggin weird.... meh i guess it just goes to show how weird dreams are....

I've got the same problem. As soon as that infernal ball of gas hits me with its ever shining radiance I?m done. No matter how tired I am I can't sleep if there is sun light in my room. I don?t get much sleep because I go to bed at 2:00 and 3:00 in the morning. Went to a friend house last night and didn?t sleep at all because we had three TVs and X-Boxes and were playing Halo 2 all damn night. College really sucks right now. But I plan on going back to his house after class because I really started kicking ass about half way through the night.
Only of few of my nightmares ever repeat. I get lots of random stuff like I was wearing a mask one time and I took it off and my face came off with it. I was running around trying to get help and everyone else running away scared. My house gets invaded by fake countries a lot. I get eaten by sharks, even on dry land. I hate spiders and they end up in my dreams a lot too. And any dream about a girl always turns out bad in the end.
The scariest and most life like dream I have ever had was I was at a party and some girl comes up and accuses me of raping her. My friends say that I didn?t but everyone else kicks my ass. The cops don?t believe me The town?s people don?t believe me and even my friends who know I didn?t turn on me mob rule style. Even my family thinks I did it. Then I get jumped really bad and go to the hospital and they refuse to help me so I leave town. Then some time later the girl dies and in her last testament she says that she made it up to cover up a lie she told her parents and gives me all her money to apologize. So I come back to town and buy ever one of townspeople?s house loans from the bank. Then I evict them and burn their houses down. I wrote that dream down as soon as I woke up because it sounded like a good story I could elaborate on but it was scary as hell while I was experiencing it.

Ha Ha, very funny smart-alecks. :p I have blinds and curtains but my futon is by my window that opens toward the east. As soon as the sun comes over the horizon I would need to get a board to cover up my window to block it out. Maybe I could put up some shutters though?
