Gifted Insomniacs?

While reading our What to Expect in the First Year book, Joe came across a section identifying the traits of a gifted child. And by golly one of the traits was refusing to sleep or take naps because they want to stay awake and "learn"! Haha! We're not sure whether or not this theory has any substance to it or if it was developed just to make sleep-deprived parents feel better... we're just letting it make us feel better for now!
