The Future?

I have been watching a lot of cheesy sci-fi recently and I have noticed that one thing seems to be a part of every future whether it be a utopia or distopia; on Mars or underground. People in the future will sleep less than we do now. Their sleep patterns will be irregular at best. I, for one, do not like where this world is going. If the future means staying awake for two or three days at a time on a regular basis then we need to start acting now to prevent this. Slumber change is a very real and likely threat to humanity.
