I've been averaging about 4hrs/night for the past month or so.

That does not sound healthy. How long have you been doing this?

2 years, my wife says the same but I don't feel a thing .... yet lol.

Do you drink a lot of coffee or energy drinks?

8-9 hours ideal. Anything over or under makes me crazy.

Don't have kids then

Why not?

I did at one point, but not these days. I've grown so accustomed to my sleep patterns that it feels normal.

However, when I do make time to relax - I've been known to knock out during the day and not wake up until 3 or 4 the next morning, thus continue this horrible habit.
