    My wife falls asleep at 10pm, wakes up at 8am (10 hours sleep). I fall asleep at 2am and get up at 9am (7 hours sleep) and she says “must be nice”. 🙄

      As someone who naturally sleeps for 10 to 12 hours and still sleeps through alarms, it’s extremely relatable to long for being able to function on much less sleep with little to no help. So I believe her. It sucks losing hours like that.

        Well, I function. I don’t enjoy. I still naturally wake up at around 8 hours of sleep, but that just doesn’t happen with my work schedule and sleep rhythm combined. I am sometimes able to catch up on sleep a bit on weekends. She can cat nap for 14 hours when she has nothing to be awake for though. Shit’s crazy.

          Oh yeah it’s a “grass is greener” situation for sure. The folks who can’t sleep as much for whatever reason, be it circumstantial or biological, understandably can be jealous in the same way.
