Actually there was an article a couple years ago about "super sleepers" in the NYTimes. People who only need, at most, 6 hours sleep to feel completely refreshed. I believe they had their genome copied hoping to find why they can do this. Who knows, there might be a gene therapy or pill to need less sleep one day.
- Mz 12y agoYeah, I did say "Some people" not "EVERYONE." Also, I generally sleep less these days while being better rested because I have worked hard on improving my health. So I think there are things people can do to work on this issue but, for the most part, when I try to talk about stuff like that, I get shouted down, pissed on, and treated pretty horribly. So I say stuff like that a lot less than I used to. I don't think you need "good genes" per se to be well rested on less sleep. I think you just need good health -- and I think most people are less healthy than they really think (not exactly a popular opinion to express though).
- itchyouch 12y agoTotally agree with this. On the daya that I eat well (salads, small portions) and exercise, the following evenings are met with deeper sleep and less of it. I can function on 7-8 hours as opposed to 10-11 the following day. But it is definitely an unpopular opinion to express. "Your life sucks cuz of your bad habits..."
