It doesn't look like there are reliable, secondary sources on the subject Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 21:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Not to mention that, if this is true, it would be a clear contender for the Ig Nobel Prize. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 21:58, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * So, just a touch over 8 hours' sleep is what you need for a 24-hour cycle, but you can get more waking hours by running on a 12-hour cycle with about 1.75 hours sleep and 10.25 hours awake... of course, the theorem doesn't tell us how many hours' sleep we'll need once we "get tired"... Oh, just Delete per nom. JohnCD (talk) 22:19, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep, delete. As noted, this is not verifiable, and Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. —Bkell (talk) 22:38, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete OR (at best). There is a particular sleep theory based on cyclical naps but this is not it. Plutonium27 (talk) 10:29, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Put to sleep. Not a "theorem", which by my understanding doesn't properly name an empirical discovery.  Seems close to the heart of original research. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:10, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
