How many hours of sleep do you consistently need a night? I can go 4-5 days on

Why would you only want 4-5 hours?

I love sleep, but it's mostly because I'm always tired

7-7.5 is ideal for me. If I go a couple days less than that then I can’t

But I can go 4-5 regularly. My wife is like a 9-10. Less than 8 and she’s dead.

I read once that Benjamin Franklin lived on only 4-5 hrs of sleep, constantly.

Trump doesn’t sleep much.

Gotta get at least 6 consistently. If I get less, naps are a beautiful thing.

BleedCougarBlue2

How long do you nap? How do you avoid being more tired after the nap?

Probably on average only about 45 minutes. I'd love to nap about 1+15 but....

I can handle 5 pretty consistently. My wife needs 8+. It’s a constant battle.

Only a couple of nights at 5 hours or less. Normally need about 7-8 a night.

If I go several days on 6 hours of sleep and also don’t eat healthy, I’ve got about a 75% chance of getting really sick.

8 every night.

Unfortunately it is a rumor. Your sleep stages vary due to all sorts of things.

Man, that's rough! Are you a light sleeper? Do you not mentally compartmentalize
