If you're actually getting 8 hours of sleep you aren't an old.

Most every old I know is in the 4-6 hour...maybe 7 range...maybe also an afternoon nap thrown in on the weekends.

Supposedly the elderly sleep a lot but if my 80 something year old dad was any indication, he slept in like 3 hour blocks periodically throughout the day and would be wide awake after. I hear restive sleep is hard when you're that old.

Weinke it is scientific fact people sleep less as they age. Sleep is associated with learning in current theories. So the idea is people learn less as they age, so they need less sleep. Especially , REM sleep. Look it up, it is modern sleep psychology.

I think ez sleeps like 2-3 hours a night. He's living the dream because I wish my body could adjust to that without consequences.

I wasn't being skeptic. It sounds like you're confirming what I said!

There's a cliche that the elderly go to bed early and take frequent naps but I think that has more to do with the fact that they don't sleep well period so they're not getting very good sleep to begin with. Like yeah my 80+ year old dad would go to bed between 7:30-8PM but he would always wake up and watch tv from like 1-4AM and then fall back asleep until like 6AM.

8 hours after getting hammered? I wish!

I get alcohol insomnia really bad so it's like pass out for 3-4 hours and then stay awake until dawn followed by a Saturday/Sunday nap.

Coffee time

I used to live with my grandparents. My g-pa was similar.

Hell, it sounds good to me. Sleep when you're dead. It is football season, baby!

Yeah, I actually sleep less after drinking. It's weird. Was killing me last weekend when we went hard Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. That Sunday was brutal.

Yeah I set my alarm at like 7am and hit snooze forever. I miss naps. I used to work 7-3 take a power nap then party all night for years when my body could handle it.

Brother! I'm the same way, have some drinks and my sleep is fucked.

Go to bed at 4am, wake up at 7am, can't go back to sleep rest of the day.

After I stopped smoking weed it took a solid month or longer before I could sleep through the night again. Now I just drink a few ounces of bourbon before bed and sleep like a baby.

Suck it Dutch, our ladies are better than yours.

Although I think we might be able to find a green card for Laura Dijkema.

Prediction: Brad Nortman will prove to be a bigger off season loss than Josh Norman for the Panthers. Our rookie corners are looking fairly competent, while there isn't a healthy starting punter on the roster.
