how much sleep

Tweet

I need alot of sleep. My friend seems to need less sleeep then I do. I was told as people get older,they need less sleep. So, if we try to sleep more as we get older will that stop us from feeling older? Kinda like cheating the sleep gods. My mother said no matter how much she tryies to get some sleep, she just can't get those extra minutes. Funny, when I was a teen. I could sleep hours, or go on very little. Now seems I do better with several cat naps. Any one like that? How much sleep do we realy need at certain ages?
