I used to be pretty content with 2 to 4 hours sleep but once I got a bit older I slipped to 4 or 5 hours a night. Any more than 6 hours though and I'll feel tired all day. Danged if I know how people get things done in less than 16 awake hours; just eating wastes a fair chunk of the day.

Have you ever considered that perhaps you do things slowly because you get insufficient sleep?

Hmm, my mum says that., She doesn't sleep much. Except she sits down, starts reading or something and she's zonked out. Jumps and resumes if she is disturbed and is either a massive liar or really doesn't notice she does it all the time.
I know she wakes at night, and it doesn't surprise me at all she nods off, she has issues that cause her not to sleep properly.

It's very bad for cognitive function, once husband got that way, his mental acuity declined noticeably.
