Since I was in my teens I sleep 4 hours or less per night. For me it’s a generational issue, my father slept less than 5 hours per night until he passed. His parents slept 4-5 hours per night. Their parents slept about the same.one of our 3 children has my sleep habit, as does one of my 3 grandchildren.

I have attended many sleep clinics for a week, at a time, for sleep studies, of insomnia. My habits were found to be normal for me. Most nights I sleep 3-4 hours, and about every 10 days I am up and active for 24 hours, with the following night 5 hours of catch up sleep.

I do enjoy running at 3am, while everyone else is in slumber mode. My habits are solid. I am guessing I will not deviate from this pattern

So do you sleep less now you have moved to TV, or due to being so active sleep more than average? Just wondering how many do well without much sleep like me.
In my younger years I could fall asleep like a light switch, and sleep for 7 - 8 hours at a time. When I hit my 60's I started sleeping less, now I sleep 3 - 4 hours a night. I tried fighting this , without success. It's what the body wants, so now I just go with it.
