Wow, this summarizes my natural sleep requirements too! I feel blessed that as a dev my job is flexible enough to accommodate it. This is stating the obvious, but this sleep requirement has become more critical with age. I remember being able to reset my sleep pattern by pulling an all-nighter and going to sleep "early" the following day, say 6pm to 8am giving me 14 hours of sleep before an early class. I tired that more than once now that I'm in my mid 30's and neither time worked as expected. My body demanded the lost hours of sleep which I made up over 2-3 days. I couldn't believe it--that I could no longer trick my body into resetting my sleep schedule!
