I've heard that as a person ages, the less sleep one needs. Does anyone know if this is true?

There's only so far your battery will take you. If you repeatedly don't charge it up when needed, then suffer the consequences...simple as that, there's no substitute for sleep, none, nada, nunca,zilch and getting a good night's sleep does not warrant taking any drugs at all, do your homework and use your googling skills, all right here....

And this problem is not unique to the aussies, no sir, it's a global thing and i imagine the more industralised and fast paced nations will be more affected so we don't have to go to Australia to see this, it's happening right here, RIGHT IN GOOD OLD N.A.......

Unfortunately employers who run 24/7 essential service businesses such as hospitals can dictate the hours you work which can often mean you are unable to get sufficient sleep. My health has been compromised this way. We need enlightened governments who will introduce laws preventing employers from treating employees this way (I'm not holding my breath) and employees who refuse to take on jobs unless they have decent rosters. Also not likely - the almighty dollar rules again.

Don't give the government any more control over our lives than they already have. Just go to sleep at a decent hour and get up at a decent hour.

I know, how about a government financed study to experiment with shutting the power off at 10:00 p.m. and then more research money spent to determine the best time to turn it back on?
