I try to put myself in the position to sleep as long as my body needs and I find that I am still groggy after 10 hours (and 7, 8 and 9). Using the Sleep Cycle app I regularly record 10 hours in bed but even getting a 90%+ "sleep quality" score has no impact on how groggy I feel each morning. I doubt my body "needs" more than 10 hours a day and even if I do it isn't feasible for me, or most people. Leads me to suspect that the issue is rather more complex than just the number of hours slept.

- gaoshan 14y agoI did that, actually. They diagnosed me with "mild sleep apnea" but I got the feeling that was sort of the default diagnosis. Maybe I was wrong... hmmm.
- WalterSear 14y agoI got that feeling as well. They seemed more interested in selling CPAP machines than anything useful.
- gaoshan 14y agoExactly what I was thinking. Those machines are usually handled on a monthly installment so they are recurring and lucrative sources of income. I tried one but it was like trying to sleep with the creature from Alien perched on your face all night.
