As you get older, you need less becuase your metabolism slows way down. Me, I am comfortable with 6, but I am 38 years old, whereas my kids need 8-12 hours.

I smartened up and started to go earlier. Sure does feel better. I usually get up at 5'ish a.m. but overslept 'til 6:25 a.m. today. I didn't want to work out but I did anyway and I'm glad I did. Get your rest by all means!! coolness...
