You just described the premise of "Beggars in Spain" by Nancy Kress. Highly recommended, by the way! It's a fantastic novel, and it takes the concept of sleepless adults to some thought-provoking places.
There's also a great short story titled "Sleep" by Haruki Murakami that describes a woman's journey through 17 days without sleep. I wouldn't say that story is entirely thought-provoking in introducing new concepts, but as always with Murakami upon finishing the story you will realize how much it felt like a lucid dream.

I guess it was a good idea for a plot then ^^

That's such an awesomely accurate way to describe Murakami. Haven't read "Sleep," but now I want to!
Wow, it's... $3.03 on Kindle. I might have to check this out!
Thanks for sharing, I'm going to read that novel. Sounds interesting.
