I can't wait until I turn 85 dear poet ! I sleep 5 to 6 hours a night now. Yet for me that is very good. Through my young life, I had insomnia, which is not as comfortable as some would say. It becomes boring and pressing ! Hurry up 85; I hear that long sleeps create sexier dreams ! I hope that is true ! Have a wonderful week my friend.......much love, james
