I understand why some people might want to skimp on sleep but I've never found it to work that well for me
only way you can stay up late and get up early, is if you do polyphasic sleep and sleep at some other point in the day
celibacy and fasting might create temporary sustainable insomnia (or I have in mind reading of some monks who observed all night prayer "vigils")

I stay up late and get early-ish (at about 7:45 AM or so)...Revenge Bedtime Procrstination go brrrrrrrrrr
I can get away with less sleep if I get the right amount. Just make sure that I get one REM cycle in instead of two and I should be good. Interrupting a REM cycle is really what makes you tired when you wake up, which is why naps can sometimes make you even more tired.
