There definitely are people who do just fine on 5 to 6 hours a night. I've known a couple. Alas, I'm not one of them. I really need 8.5 to 9.

- pale_rider 15y agoI hear you. Even though I am still in my late 20s, I still need 8-9 hours of sleep a night. Anything less than that and I feel like I was hit with a trunk the next day. I really wish I could get by on 5-7 hours like so many of my friends do, but after a while I just had to accept I couldn't physically do it.
- narag 15y agoIn your late 20s? I raise it to my late 40s. I often sleep six or seven hours on work days, but I have to recover in the weekend.
- michaelcampbell 15y agoI'm exactly the same. I'm in my 40's now but have always been this way; the big difference that age has brought me is that I'm less flexible about it. In college I could get by with a few 3-4 hour nights in a row, as long as I made it up (and all of it) over the weekend, but now I can't carry a deficit nearly as well, so I don't.
