sleep like a baby

I can sleep between 10-12 hours, is this normal? In fact, if I get less than 10, I'm very grumpy! People say you need less sleep when you get older, but the amount of sleep I need hasn't changed one bit! Still sleep like a baby.
Why do people say you need less sleep as you get older ? It doesn't seem to make much sense to me, as I seem to be needing more!

every rule has an exception

I love my sleep also tho, I generally get 10 hrs a night, but mostly it's the wrong 10 hrs (3 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon type thing)

I've heard that you need more sleep when you're younger because you're growing. Also, QI tells me that more sleep lowers life expectancy.

The average is 8, but some people need more and some less. I need a good 9 hours to feel totally refreshed!

Everyone has different needs. You are not a statistical average.
