...it is better to get 7 1/2 or 9 hours of sleep instead of 8, so you wake up at the "top" of your sleep cycle.

Anyone else ever heard this?

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.

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.

Pfft. Who are you, a doctor?

Takes 45 min. to fall asleep, wake up 3-5 times a night, get about 5-6 hours of good sleep a night. I can count on one
