All them Pesky old folk keep telling me "the older you get the less sleep you'll need son".
But on the contrary I find that as my life progresses I can never sleep enough, even if I am sleeping 10-15 hours a night!
It reminds me of when I was a child, because there would be nights that I would indeed sleep for up to 15 hours and still feel like I could sleep more.
My theory is that my Telomeres are getting longer, and as such a lot of the physiological expressions of youth are coming to the forefront again.
Older people seem to have more tolerance of less sleep. For example they seem to be able to tolerate 4-5 hours a night without it effecting them much. I can sleep a full 8-9 hours and still feel as if I need a lot more. With or without the aid of melatonin and other such herbal sleep stimulants.
There has to be some cellular expression going on here because of all i'm that i've been doing for health and longevity.
Has anyone else experienced this inverse phenomenon?
Are you getting younger too?
Huh? Huh? Huh?
