As an Insomniac myself I can sensationally reveal that we are......
..... running on empty!
I get by on about 2 hours sleep a night and have done so for 38 years so far with no ill effects.
Some people just need to recharge less or have a superfast recharger.

Fire_cat is absolutely right, I think the same...
Nevertheless, the scene of the Duracell rabbits often crosses my mind... brilliant!
I guess the body gets used to a certain level of "tiredness" and manages to work with that amount of energy.
I have insomnias since almost ever but sometimes, for a week or two, I can get quality sleep... so I believe that, even being too little, that small amount of sleep compensates the sleep that we do not have for weeks in a row (even though it makes me tired as hell... )
During the day, sometimes, I almost fall asleep standing, literally, and if I have the time, I am able to make small naps... but when the night comes... the show begins! In the morning, when the sun rises, when it is time to get up, u know?, sleep gently comes. A funny fact: if it is Saturday and I can stay in bed a bit later, I watch the sun rise and still the sleep won't come.
There is also another kind of insomnia that I get, even more often that the last I described, that is: I go to bed, fall asleep and 2-3hrs later I am fully awake and not knowing what to do for the rest of the night... That is very upsetting too.
After all this, I don't know if I answered you question right ;)

I agree with the "some people need to recharge less" ...comment.
I go through phases when i am too stressed to sleep more than 2-3 hours a night. during those tims, i still get by during the day, but i notice that i am maybe just a little more absent minded than at my best. Not in a huge way, but i notice that just the way i do things, the quality of it is a little worse off then if i were in better health from getting a healthy dose of sleep.

Ha! I was an insomniac for a long time and I was just like those little Duracell rabbits that don't quite make it to the end of the race!

I was a deep sea fisherman for 12 years. more often than not going without sleep for 24to36 hours at a stretch, sometimes longer. 7o or 8o hours.
Then sleep for about 10 hours and start all over.
That was 4 years ago in April. However since then I haven't been able to sleep for more than 3 hours at a time.
What kept me going and still does, was a hookers breakfast.
Coffee and cigarettes......

Insomniacs do sleep...eventually, they just don't get enough sleep.
Insomnia means a lack of sleep, not being unable to sleep.
