Sleep is something I've kind of battled with for some years now. I have a job with a long commute and long hours but like to still be able to come home and make dinner and watch an episode or two of some of my favorite shows but when I do I end up awake instead of tired. If I do that I get 4 - 5 hours of sleep at night but if I get the full 8+ I basically have no life but work and sleep.
Basically everyone I know always tells me "Only 4 - 5 hours? That's not healthy!". But here's the thing, I don't feel like it. I wake up fine, go about my day, and usually fall asleep when I'm tired. I don't need to chug caffeine to stay awake or take shots of some energy drink. Once I wake up I'm wide awake and alert despite getting so much less sleep then everyone tells me I'm supposed to.

Then again, there are a lot more people who think they can get by with so little sleep, but when they do start committing to 7-8 hours of sleep they realize that extra time spent watching TV or browsing the internet doesn't make them feel nearly as good as they do when they are fully rested.
