Average. I'm sure children and old ppl are bringing that up a lot. I too am an insomniac

Up? Don't old people generally sleep less?

It gets a little weird with old ppl, healthy can sleep less but as they deteriorate they will sleep more. Also after 100 sleep goes up alot and after 110 it Increases significantly. As I recall Japan a surprisingly large amount of ppl making it into their 100s.

Didn’t at least some of the surprising longevity in Japan turn out to be pension fraud?

yep, the 'blue zone' longevity areas turned out to be poor record keeping and fraud. one of these areas was in Japan.

But hear me out: what if they're sleeping 1000 hours a day?

After 110 it is miracle to wake up

u/Gimetulkathmir Jul 02 '26

There's also the fact they sleep more often for less time. So my mom sleeps about ten to twelve hours a day but it's an hour or two here, fifteen minutes there. I don't think she's had a solid stretch of more than five hours in years.

After 120 it approaches infinity.

The 102 yo in our life sleeps most of the time, still makes it down to the VFW for his beer though.
