Haha, fair enough. Sleep (or any other fundamental instinct) won't likely be changed easily or in the next few decades. I'd wager that sex and reproduction will be fundamentally altered quicker than sleep will be. However, I do see that the emergence of high-AI will be a selection pressure towards us altering our sleep profoundly in the 2050s. It won't be done if it substantially lowers our waking capabilities, and overcoming that will be a difficult challenge that I don't mean to underestimate. I just think the selection pressure will be strong enough and the intelligence in existence will be up to the task. Also, the necessary precursor technologies already exist.I am a BIG fan of sleeping. I do it well.
