It's sort of a long-running joke in my family that the males only need about 6 hours of sleep. I wake up naturally after about six hours, feeling refreshed, if I've had an otherwise uneventful day. However I'm also sort of a lifelong night owl -- "sort of" because I have weird sleep patterns with a bias tending toward nocturnal, which I call the 26-hour day, since it sorta shifts up a couple hours every day -- but my dad and my brother both are otherwise pretty normal and have always been the same way, needing less sleep. Another interesting tidbit: I come from a long line of farmers -- perhaps a bit of a tautology -- and the males among my ancestors were supposedly renowned for never needing an alarm clock. This is something which is true for the males in my immediate family to this day. Of course, I set an alarm if I need to, but I often wake up before it goes off. I've just recently paid for long-read WGS from Full Genomes, so I'm excited to look into this!
