What actually worked for me, but I can't do it with my current job: bi-phasic sleep.
I did this while in school, I slept 2am-7am and 4-6:30pm. Pro: you learn to fall in to deep sleep very quickly and I would often have lucid dreams and you can get away with slightly less sleep. Con: if anything gets in the way of the afternoon sleep phase it feels like missing half a nights sleep...
