Short or Long Sleepers

I once read an article before about short and long sleepers.

Short sleepers are those who sleep less than 6 hours every night. It's not because that they are rushing for assignments, but because their bodies really need only that much of time to rest. So, don't conclude that you are a short sleeper too fast. Typically, short sleepers are energetic people, always on the go, ambitious, and doing twenty things at once. Many successful business people and politicians are short sleepers. Only a small portion of the world population is short sleepers.

Most people fall into the long sleepers category. Long sleepers need 8.5 hours or more to sleep every night. As long sleepers are a large group, therefore, it is hard to identify their characteristics. Nevertheless, as a group, they are more critical of the standards and demands of the society, and more introspective. They can be great artist, writers, and philosophers, as they are sensitive towards abstract feelings. Do you know, Albert Einstein also falls into this category? :P

Why are there two kinds of sleepers?

In computer terminology, short sleepers are "pre-programmed". All their activities are already planned out accordingly. On the contrary, long sleepers tend to constantly re-program their activities during the day, that's why they need more rest during the night. Long sleepers also seem to have more dream sleep than short sleepers. This is to enable their brain to study and join new ideas in their thought circuits.

Interesting article, huh? My friends always comment about how slow my reaction is whenever they ask me questions. I always think too much, thinking about the several different answers in my mind. Haha! XD

DeeJay is a long sleeper, and always feel reluctant 
to get up from my bed every morning.
