    For the first 18ish years, I couldn’t seem to sleep enough. The next 30 years, 4 was about all I needed to function well. Now, in my mid-50’s, I’m getting about 5-6 a night, with a rare 8-hour session here and there, and I feel great. Guess I’ll die?

      Last week I accidentally put my melatonin in the “8am” slot of my pill divider for each day, thought I was dying or something with how incredibly tired I was while still not being able to sleep at night.
