Your body and your mind needs some rest.. then only you will be able to do your cognitive activities properly.. reduced sleep is never advisable.. u can try caffeine etc for 1 day only.. then your body will want to compensate the following day.. u can reduce the sleep time from 7-6 hrs.. that too slowly over a period of time.. not like this
