Why do some people need more sleep than others?
I got to thinking about this, and was wondering why some people need more sleep than others. For example, all my housemates go to bed at a similar time (10-11pm) but we all wake up at different times. One of my housemates naturally wakes up at 6.30am, I like to sleep until 9am-ish, and another of my housemates will sleep in until noon at the weekends.
So why is it that even though we all go to bed at the same time and are all the same age, we all sleep in til different times? Why do different people need different amounts of sleep?

People sleep differently because some people is used to their sleep schedule if you have been sleeping from 10-6 for half of your life then you will adapt to it. Another reason is some people work more and burn more calories and use more energy then others through out the day. There is also difference when people are growing. Children on their growth spurt needs more sleep and a regular adult needs less. Hope this helped!!

The people who need more sleeo could have a sleeping disorder preventing them from getting an adequate quality of sleep. If thet are tired all the time and have been for their whole life. Suggest they organise to getva sleep test at a sleep centre.
