  4.  @withastickangrywhiteman2822  Dolphins get around it by sleeping with half their brains. Perhaps we can figure out how to sleep with only a small part of our brain at any time and therefore stay active. Since every animal with a brain sleeps, I don't think there is a way around it, it seems to be a fundamental fault of our neurology.

  9. Unfortunately it seems to be a fundamental fault of neurons. Every animal with a brain sleeps. But perhaps we can figure out how to sleep only with a portion of our brain at any time like dolphins.
