I've always been fortunate that my natural sleep requirements seem to be about 6 1/2 hours and as long as I can get a full night's sleep once a week I can go on 5 1/2 without much impairment. I hope that doesn't change as I get older (and so far it hasn't). People who need to sleep 8 or more hours worry me. But it is a three week per year of extra living I get. I can still pull all-nighters just as easily as I used to (did so weekend before last), though consecutive ones are probably out of the question. I also don't get hangovers and never wake up groggy. Except for being fat, ugly, and a prick I'm the ideal human being.
