How much would you sleep?

If you had no life obligations, how much would you sleep?


I've had Puppy for more than a year.  Puppy sleeps ALL THE TIME.  Except when chasing squirrels, an activity that I, obviously fully support.


It makes me wonder: if I didn't have to scavenge for my own food, bathe myself, take myself on a walk, and have a job that requires a few more skills than just "ability to shatter squirrels," how much would *I* sleep?

At the end of the semester, I conk out for eleven or twelve hours.  What if that is my true sleep requirement?   I shudder to think how sleep deprived I am on most days!  Do you think my lectures are better on or off sleep?
