Why would you only want 4-5 hours?

Gotta get at least 6 consistently. If I get less, naps are a beautiful thing.

How long do you nap? How do you avoid being more tired after the nap?

Probably on average only about 45 minutes. I'd love to nap about 1+15 but....

Only a couple of nights at 5 hours or less. Normally need about 7-8 a night.

If I go several days on 6 hours of sleep and also don’t eat healthy, I’ve got about a 75% chance of getting really sick.
