There are different states/qualities of sleep, influenced by weather, diet, amount of physical exercise, stress and mental activity, sleeping environment etc.
I get 8 hours of 'sleep'...I reckon at least an hour of that is in a wakeful sleepy type state.
Too much sleep can make you sleepy and then you'll automatically think "I didn't get enough sleep".
I'm more wakeful after 8 hours sleep than after 10. |

I think for me personally,sleep is overrated.im 25yrs old and as far as i can remember (the last 10yrs) ive been sleeping for around3/4 hours a night,sometimes i wont sleep at all at night, and then sleep the following night, my body is in tune with this now,and i do have a longer day and sometimes dread night time!
Everyone's different,some need/want 8hours others are cool with 4  |

Napoleon thought men were pussies if they had more than 4 hours sleep.
I'd like to see him say that to my face. |

| I don't think age has anything to do with it. I've ALWAYS been one to love my sleep. Even in my teens I slept like a log. Still do. I can stay up all night, but then I play sleep catch up. I love sleeping in on Sat. and Sun., too. Taking naps is heaven! |

Some kids (people) have an aptitude for learning and some don't, sleep or no sleep. Take two kids who have an optimal sleep time of 7 hours. One has a high aptitude for learning and the other a low aptitude. Even if the high aptitude kid only gets 4 hours a night, he will still outperform the lower aptitude kid who gets 7 hours of sleep. It all depends on your aptitude and drive.
That said, I still think getting optimal sleep--whatever that may be for each individual--is important. It won't raise the aptitude of the student, but it may help him perform at his peak.
Anyway, I like sleeping. |
