For the first 18ish years, I couldn’t seem to sleep enough. The next 30 years, 4 was about all I needed to function well. Now, in my mid-50’s, I’m getting about 5-6 a night, with a rare 8-hour session here and there, and I feel great. Guess I’ll die?
Feelin like a snack

Brain development in the first 18 yrs require more sleep. Let your teenager sleep more!

48 here, I can exist on 6 hours but the results aren’t pretty. 8 is just right for me.
An extra 3 hours a day with no downsides would be lovely!

Last week I accidentally put my melatonin in the “8am” slot of my pill divider for each day, thought I was dying or something with how incredibly tired I was while still not being able to sleep at night.

Frankly 8 isn’t quite enough…

Yeah, I’m good with 9. 10 is nice, but feels like doing anything useful after is pointless.

12 is the sweet spot. Perfect balance.

Yeah I find I need sleep every night, and not just the one time too.

I require 10hr to be optimal. 8hr is a bare minimum and if I get less than 8, do not count on me to do shit.

I think I’ve been in bed for 24 hours at this point. Oh wait it’s tuesday. Probably more like 48 hours.

2 tones in my life where I’ve slept for more than a day, once was 32 hours, another was roughly 36. Best sleep ever.
