Dear Gods, this is Drew

I'd like to know what you lot consider an optimum amount of sleep. If you could let me know, I could stop wasting the time that I currently spend trying to get to sleep, and only go to bed when I would get to sleep. I'm even tired tonight. Just not sleepy. So, y'know, gis a break, wha'?

I get 4 hours sleep a night, almost to the minute. I *need* 6-8 hours sleep a night now that I'm getting older. Guess why I look haggard and sleep-deprived a lot of the time.

It's also why I have to video programmes that I'm actually watching, given how often I doze off for 20 minutes or so during the course of them and have to catch up later...

I've heard that as you get older (possibly it's "properly" older - post-60, or so), you need less sleep. It's certainly true in my family, anyway.
