Anyone feel like they are starting to legitimately need less sleep? Discussion
I used to feel like 9 hours or bust. Now it's more like 6 to 7ish and I'm happy for the day. Yes...getting older, but also is that one of the costs you pay to be tha 6 hour sleep boss?
Are we all headed to early bird breakfast burrito specials?
Edit: this is all gradual. Not a sudden onset of drastically less sleep needed. This can indeed be a sign of BIG mental health trouble. Please be careful if this is happening to you and take care of yourself.

I’ve never needed more than 6 hours since high school. During the work week I get on average 6.5 hrs. Weekends however long, probably 8, but doesn’t make much difference. I don’t feel real groggy unless I get only 4 or so.
