Sleep duration is associated with brain structure and cognitive performance

I always seem to need between 12 and 15 hours sleep, which makes life difficult as I do not fit into the normal 9-5 schedule.

I do not understand how people can live off 7 hours of sleep each night. It seems a big advantage though - they have 5 hours more per day.

I met people who slept never more than 5 hours. Each to his own I guess. Some maybe do not need as much but those people probably payed for it later. But if you really need 12-15 hours constantly you might actually have some condition that could be treated.

And a higher risk of cancer, dementia, diabetes.
