The population is on a bell curve; it sounds like you're the guy making up for that woman I met who only needs 4 hours a night.2. Your sleep needs will change. Teenagers tend to need a lot more sleep than folks in their mid-20's do. It usually happens a bit earlier, but you might just be hitting that stage a little late.3. The nights you don't sleep for 13 hours, you're running short on sleep and building up fatigue - which manifests itself as extra-long sleep periods when you can afford to catch up.4. If you're overweight and a snorer, I might suggest the possibility of sleep apnea (see Diaglo's link earlier for info) that fragments your sleep and makes it less restful; that's another possible reason for needing long sleep time.Long sleeping times aren't inherently unhealthy, so long as (a) it's not a symptom of depression, and (b) it isn't affecting your work and social life. Hope that helps,</blockquote>
