Sleep

Whenever someone asks me how I get the time to do all the stuff that I appear to be doing, my first answer is always that I sleep less than most people I know. I average around 5-6 hours daily. This is contrary to the widely accepted figure of 8 hours that the medicos advise you to do. I have been getting by with this much sleep for years without any problem. I rarely set an alarm and I wake up when my body tells me to.
The Economist has an article debunking the myth of 8 hours of work, 8 hours of play, and 8 hours of rest. The article mentions that everyone has their own “individual sleep need” which could be anywhere from 3 to 11 hours.
I average between 5-6 hours of sleep myself as well…….I am convinced it is a based on how you train your body…….if you habitually do 5-6 hours then the body accomodates it. I have also seen that my 2 year old does not sleep a lot either, but doctors say babies should get upto 12 hours of sleep a day. I am lucky if the bugger sleeps 9-10 hours.
Sleep more, anupcs. You may get fat!
