Character with no need to sleep?

[Rob C]

Using only Paizo sources, are there any races, classes, spells, feats, or traits that remove the need to sleep? Is there any way to build a character who is awake 24/7?

Can't use items or build a custom class/feat.

Hmm....

3rd tier universal path ability "sleepless" (Mythic Adventures page 51).

Depending on your dm's interpretation of the need for sleep, any divine caster who can cast lesser restoration (relieves the fatigued condition.)

Dreaming Psion makes a good point. There's even a precedent for it in Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition (not sure about original adventure.) You would still need to prepare your spells at some point though.

Someone does it in Beyond the Doomsday Door as well.

For 3.5 I believe elves in Elves of Golarion go with the no sleeping but trance D&D trope for elves.

The pathfinder spell Keep Watch allows people to stay up and keep watch through the night without suffering ill effects from not sleeping. Vigorous activity ends the spell so it is basically good for staying awake on guard duty or reading but not crafting or such.

My current wizard character will start using it once he realizes he is subject to sleepwalking.

Thanks guys! You came up with far more things than I did.

At the moment I'm going to try and grovel with my DM to let me have a Tiefling with the variant ability: "You do not need to sleep. You are not immune to sleep effects."
