to be honest, I think this is all solely due to caffeine. I sleep 5-6h if I'm on caffeine, I sleep 8-9h if I'm off caffeine. When I first started drinking caffeinated drinks at age ~23 (yes really), I had a short period where I could still sleep full nights but eventually I was always down to 6h.
In my opinion most people don't attribute any of these sleep changes to caffeine because they've been on caffeine for a long time, never fully stop and when you are younger it doesn't have this effect yet or immediately.
- Emma_Goldman 5y agoI don't think this is likely. It's well known that caffeine disrupts sleep and that you therefore need to spend more rather than less time in bed to get the same rest.
- medstrom 5y agoI've had the same experience with sleeping more after my coffee runs out, but it's only temporary, lasting maximum one week.
