... then develop a need for less sleep. Seriously.

[Rashka]

NO. SLEEP IS GOOD.

I think some researcher has calculated how much you get fucked if you laydown too much. Meaning..sleep, just like sitting is deadly!!! Since you are not exercising!

All hail The Exercise. All bow down to The Exercise. All devote your life to The Exercise. Surrender your mind and body to The Excercise.

that's about 9 hours of sleep, even if you take one hour to fall alseep that's still 8

how much sleep do you need?

[Rashka]

between 10-12. xD

[Umaua]

Thats...alot. 8 is what I personally need, or 7-8 and I can keep on going few days with 5 too.

[Rashka]

I'm young. Young people need more sleep. It's scientifically proved

[Regorn]

I am gonna go on a stretch and say that it's probably you awakening during a deep sleep cycle.

When you sleep you keep going in cycles of light sleep and deep sleep. Awakening from light sleep is easy, awakening from Deep sleep will make you feel tired and sluggish. I for example can awaken easily at 7-8 hours of sleep but 9 hours? it makes me feel tired despite that I sleep for longer.

[Umaua]

Young people need more sleep, yes. But that means they regularly need the 8 hours. That's atleast what I remember from any study I've read. As far as I can tell the extra hours over 8 hold little to no benefit for your brains.

[Rashka]

I always sleep deep

[Umaua]

I think that is physically impossible

[Lars]

It is, sleep goes in cycles, 3 NREM (non-rapid eye movement) and 1 REM. The latter which gets longer the longer you've slept. I'm not exactly how transitions out of REM into NREM is exactly, which of the phases go again. But fairly sure that both light and deep sleep happen.
If you wake up while in deep sleep or while in REM. You'll be groggy, slow, unresponsive. And generally just take longer waking up.
If you wake up in stage 1, that's hardly sleeping, you'll bounce out of bed and go about your day.

[Umaua]

However! The subjective feeling of the situation might make you feel like you are always in deep slumber. Or your rhythm usually goes so you have to wake up from the deep slumber.

[Lars]

Or, the fact that you aren't actually conscious while you sleep and for that reason are unaware of your surroundings (for most parts) creating an illusion to your awake mind of always being in deep sleep if you sleep good.

Hurray sleep paralysis! I think I had it once. Could not move and I 'felt' something run around in the bed under the cover.
