Although it sounds great that you do not need sleep I think you are missing a big bonus of sleep, dreaming. Do you remember if you dreamt during that straight 4 days of sleep?

Dreaming is not a bonus for everyone.
Almost all of my dreams were nightmares and so for over a decade, I couldn't sleep without the light on, at least once a month I couldn't fall asleep until sunrise. I eventually decided that I would stop dreaming, and so I told myself every evening and every morning that "I do not dream" until one day it was true.
I need about 10 hours of sleep to feel refreshed and about a handful of times a year I still have a dream or nightmare. I wish I could get by on only a few hours of sleep a night.

I'm an otherwise healthy adult (22yo) I never dreamed in my life. Maybe a few nightmares, night terrors and visions of my crushes, but this happened maybe a few times in my life.

I hate dreaming - I always feel druggy and tired after a lot of dreaming. I prefer clean reset.
Sleeping on weed tho is ALWAYS without dreams for me, but tomorrow I am foggy entire day.
