  I certainly disagree with this I needed more sleep as a teenager than I do now.

  Well I am up most of the time day and night because of my legs and just sleep in the chair .But I do not think you need so much sleep as you get older anyway, us older ones are not so active as we were in our working days.But again as for myself I find two hours at a time in a chair or bed is about right but I do that about 4 to 5 times in any 24hours.Also some of the pills I am on send me to sleep for a short time.But I will not drive for about two hours after taking them.

  Well I must be lucky as I get a good eight hours sleep every night.I also if I'm bored have a cat nap in the day.

  My problem is I am a light sleeper, so with luck about six hours together with an occasional afternoon nap.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  I usually get around 5-6 hours each night,i, very seldom get off to sleep straight away usually awake for the first couple of hours,its the same most nights.Very occasionaly i,ll go off to sleep straight away and get maybe 7-8 hours which is good but doesnt happen very often.
