Basically, a sleepless elite is a person who doesn't feel the need to sleep for nearly as long as a normal person. Aside from sleep differences, it's been found that such people often also tend to be happier/funnier, can better tolerate both physical and emotional pain, and can (as I see it) pig out and still have only a very slim chance of becoming fat. (Sourced from aforementioned WSJ article.)

 

I personally fit all these criteria, having recently pulled an all-nighter with no issues, and now I understand why I think everybody else is insane.
