Sleep Deprivation

Submitted by ddl on Tue, 04/28/2009 - 1:49am.
In my own experience, I tend to function well even after having minimal sleep the night before.  However, my brother and several of my other friends are terrible when it comes to getting no sleep.  What mechanisms account for the ability of some individuals to sleep less than others and still function with relatively unaffected performance as compared to others who require more sleep to effectively execute a given task?
