With doctors, it is the internists who don't get the sleep. Frankly, I think it is more like hazing than a necessity.
As for pilots, the problem is you get the situation you had with the gal on the flight that crashed in Buffalo. She would sleep in the airport because the airline didn't pay her enough to get a hotel room. That's not exactly restful sleep.
Another group that doesn't get sleep but should is truckers. Just think of every time you are on the Interstate going 70 mph next to a semi. Odds are that guy has had three or four hours of sleep every night he has been on his run.
