Perhaps coincidentally, but I can rarely sleep more then 6 hours in a night. It seems that I've always been that way. My eyes just open after about 6 hours, and I feel the need to get out of bed. The only way I've ever been able to get more is when I'm hungover or ill. I don't ever feel like I need to sleep more, but the anxiety I get from all the sleep studies telling me I do need to sleep more, sure does keep me up…

Do you feel fully rested after 6 hours?

Yes. In fact, I can't even nap most of the time, and I can easily stay up past my "standard" bedtime, if I'm not careful. I've even moved my run to second-thing-in-the-morning, to see if I became more tired in the evenings, but it doesn't make a difference.

> Think about sleep 10,000 years ago. You sleep in a cave, in a hut, or under the sky, with predators and enemy tribes roaming around. You are on a wooden floor, on an animal’s skin, or on the ground. I would argue that some of my best nights were during outdoor survival situations where I slept in small shelters that kept my warmth and on a hard surface. Personally, the sound of a familiar bird species will lull me…

I would love to hear more about the survival situations you did (I'm guessing intentionally) - and about the bear skins!

Not much to say there, sadly (fortunately?). I grew up north surrounded by forests and had classes. Then as a kid up until young adulthood, gathering with friends and going into the woods with minimal equipment for the weekend was the easiest way to have freedom away from the parents.

As for the skins, I have only slept on a bear's because it was at someone's cabin. Even if the place didn't have much in term of heating it was still a good night. Sleeping on the skin wasn't planned but it happened due to comfort. A friend had a beaver's and a wolf's but those are too small to sleep with unless crafted into something bigger. They did keep your knees warm however!
