44 and I get 7+ hours almost every night using very few accessories (memory foam mattress and pillow) as well as few doobies before bed. Chef's kiss

Is this good or bad? Fitbit says within the range for my age group, if a bit on the low end.

Me: in my 50s. Latex mattress and lovely pillow, and I get 6 hours of shite sleep if I'm lucky. Mostly it's a few hours of sleep, an hour or so of being awake, a few more hours of tossing and turning in semi sleep.
(Though I do probably have some form of undiagnosed ADHD. My brain refuses to turn off)

My wife: same mattress with slightly different pillows. 9 hours of snoring like a dragon sleep easily...and I then have to wake her a few times in the morning or she'd sleep until noon.

It's just the hand I was dealt.

I have the brain not turning off thing. Listening to something makes it much easier to fall asleep. Youtube videos, rain sounds or one of my favorites: hair dryer youtube vidoes. I got a 10h one downloaded on my phone. Might annoy the wife tho if she ain't cool. Ya dig?

Same on both counts 😄
