Do you worry that sleeping late is going to shorten your lifespan?

I mean 2 kinds of sleeping late. One is that you sleep late and thus not getting enough sleep and you wake up tired. The second is you sleep late but you can deal with it because you are used to sleeping very little without feeling tired.

The girl I'm seeing sleeps very very late, almost 3am in the morning everyday. And she gets by with around 5 hours of sleep. I don't know if I should be concerned for her, and in a way, myself too, because that seems pretty unhealthy..

I happen to not only get by with less sleep but I also feel more energized. I'm used to about 3-4 hours (at night I also napped some in the afternoon) because of a hectic schedule and it just works for me. I wake up feeling great and have energy. I went through a period of time where I purposely got more sleep but it didn't agree with my schedule and I always woke up feeling drowsy and tired throughout the day. Some people's bodies just happen to function differently.

I always assumed tired = need more sleep.. but i couldn't sleep lol. Naps felt awesome but it just makes me feel more drowsy.

No, but I am concerned that it will make me age quicker.
No one wants wrinkles.

That's to do with the sun and lack of vit. E.. And not sleep. 😉

[closeencounters]

That too..

But it has been proven, that sleep deprivation causes people to age quicker.

I have the link, but it won't let me send it.. google it.

On the upside, there's this new cosmetic surgery in S. Korea that artificially creates eyebags because it looks more youthful! ;)

As long as she's fine and not feeling tired
as the day goes by, she should be fine.

I do it myself, I can't sleep even if I tried to
if I go to bed before 4am, I wake up first time
as if I had an alarm clock in my, at 7, if I feel
tired then, I'll sleep till 8 and go on with my day.

Been keeping this up for as
long as I can remember ^.~

Wow okay, that's even fewer hours than I thought was ever possible. Seems like it's really alright for you haha.

I go to bed around 6:00-8:00, I just have a night owl personality sometimes. But I wake up at 4:00-6:00, so I still get plenty of sleep.

Some people need more, or less sleep than others.

[Asker]

That is a LOT of sleep haha. I wish I could stay in bed as long as you without being completely insomniac. :/

[Michaelmwm19]

takes me hours to fall asleep. Always going back and fourth to pee lol.

[Eternallylucky]

It doesn't, it's the length of sleep, one should have at a minimum of five or six hours of sleep

There's this thing about the body recovering at specific times of the day though, and midnight is specially for recovering the liver and detoxing. naturmend.com/.../
