Then she got Lyme disease, and now needs to sleep 6-7 to be healthy. And that’s with substantial exercise: walking 5-10 miles a day with her 4 dogs, and doing yardwork, building sheds, etc. at age 60.

I’m stuck with reduced functionality if I run on much less than 6 for more than a few days. 5.5h+ I can maintain indefinitely I think, less’n I’m sick.
