Interesting Facts About Sleep… Bet You Didn’t Know Most Of Them

Hey @me6412 being one of the older generation (I know you weren't talking about me but I can talk about age), they do say that we don't require as much sleep. From my experience about my sleep patterns I can tell you this one thing. When I don't get enough sleep during the night I do tend to take day time naps but they are not 15 - 30 minutes. Let's try an hour to 1 1/2 hrs. 😅

From my psychology education I can tell you that you can't always rely on research because everyone out there wants to make a name for him/herself so they do these tests. I published a study once and in class we were always taught to critique those studies and question them. So that is ingrained in my head. Watching in a study is different than asking questions where they give you an answer. Even then it's not always accurate because they might be feeling one way when they answer but a couple of hours later they might have given a different answer. Now that's my psychology lesson for today! 😁

As far as needing less sleep because I am older maybe I haven't gotten to that magic old age yet because my body still requires the 7 hours like it did when I was younger. It's just sometimes broken up sleep, therefore, the day time nap.

Thanks for writing all of that. It is very interesting that different ages have different sleep patterns.

Thanks guys!
