That seems totally unreasonably overpriced and not like a logical build.

But Less Sleep with a Cosmic (+50%) addition seems like a reasonable build. This adds versatility but isn't good enough for a +100% version. And of course you have to determine just how much sleep you can store up. Or maybe an Energy Reserve that can only go towards paying for lost sleep and which can only be recharged with sleep.

As for how to get a few days of being awake in a row at TL9: Accessory (Modafinil dispenser, TL8, BIO152) [1]. |

As described it would be a something a Bene Gesserit would have. Surely it would cost a lot.

Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week (#42): Doesn't Sleep, Less Sleep
I simply charge a single point for the perk "Catnapper", allowing people to sleep in arbitrary patterns as long as they get at least (8 - Less Sleep) hours every 24.
It's never caused game breakage for me. |

Being able to bank sleep to me would be less sleep, preparation required

Now I might allow a quirk of "wakes up in the middle of the night"; that's a common aspect of aging, often accompanied by a need to get to the bathroom quickly. For nonhumans, I'd allow radically differently distributed "sleep." For example, a seasonal spirit might be awake all winter and sleep the other nine months.

Less Sleep, 1 hour (Preparation required, 1 hour, -50%) [1]. So I'd just call it a perk. You could even make it a leveled perk, at least up to the normal human limit of four hours.
