As others have suggested, you should definitely try Amphetamine. If you have trouble getting to sleep, just take sleeping pills. You'll be fine.
Lazy way: drugs and caffeine. Hard way: intense execercise, paleo diet, no sugar - balances insulin and hormomal levels to keep mental acuity sharp but you will still need at least 6-8 hours sleep to maintain a sharp mind during work hours.
If you can optimize breakfast, you can get away with 4-5 hours of sleep but not for long. I've noticed that if I do that, the body will catch up with sleep the next day, like make you drowsy earlier. As far as breakfast, nothing beats a protein rich meal like eggs. Been doing it myself for over 2 decades :)
