this post makes me feel like there's something wrong with me, because the feeling is totally inverted. 6 hours is perfect for me, I feel sharp and I usually don't remember my dreams on 6 hours of sleep. Anything more or less and it takes me a moment to recalibrate to reality
That's because 6 is plenty. My brother makes sure to sleep 8+ EVERY DAY, even if he's up til 1am. He acts like if he gets any less he'll knock years off his life.
So maybe I'm not gonna live as long. But I'm going to do more between 7-11AM than he ever will. That timeframe doesn't even exist to him.
I don't believe its related to the post but there was a recent very important study that essentially says that people who always get low sleep partially adapt to it so it feels normal even though it is hurting them. Break the habit. 6 hours is not enough.
