I somehow need nine hours of sleep. With eight or less I am groggy and have trouble concentrating. I am also very sensitive to not getting enough sleep anyway.

I somehow need nine hours of sleep. With eight or less I am groggy and have trouble concentrating. I am also very sensitive to not getting enough sleep anyway. My partner sometime ls comes to bed late and only sleeps for four hours. The next day she might be a bit sleepy but is fine. I wouldn't be able to think or do my work.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoThis was the case for a family member with undiagnosed apnea. If you aren't getting enough oxygen at night, your body will want more sleep than necessary under normal oxygen levels.
- michaelcampbell 3y ago~9 is my magic # too. Your partner may delude themselves into feeling "fine", but I'd guess it's more that they feel no different than the last time they did it. It's not even a conscious thing necessarily (although I have met people who proclaim, just a little too loudly, they only need <X hours of sleep in some sort of weird macho "ironman" flex). It's possible; there are a VERY FEW people on the earth who need way less sleep/night than normal, but like multitasking it's a super small % and the number people who think they are in that % but aren't is massive. Like the number of people (in the US, at least), who think they're in the "better than average" set of drivers.
