"They" say as you get older you need less sleep.
When younger I HAD to have 8-9 hours on the average with a few catchups of 10-12 hours once or twice a week.
Now that I'm 62, I do notice that I am sleeping much less on the average of 5-7 hours despite actually being MORE physically active. Maybe "they" are right.

I love my sleep. Lucky me, I work from home and so have abolished the whole alarm clock thing. I wake up when I wake up, which is usually between 6:30 and 7. I go to bed between 10 and 11. I guess that means I get about 8-9 hours of sleep a night. It must be right because it's what my body wants to do. Used to be that I would get up at 6 and go to bed at 11. I was grumpy. Now I'm not.
