Did you guess who the inventor was? Thomas Edison - the famous American Inventor who is actually known for actually disliking sleep so much. He survived on as little as 5 hours sleep a day, which is probably why he has1093 US patents to his name.

Edison with his most popular invention |
Some of his inventions include the motion picture camera, light bulb, dictaphone, the radio and of course he improved the telephone by his invention of the carbon microphone. Some of his inventions are not originally his - but improvements of earlier inventions.
With all these inventions - we're surprised he didn't need to sleep more and we think if the
memory foam mattresses were around in his day he would probably have wanted to sleep more.
