Can adults function on less sleep than children?

Actually yes, we don't need 10 hours like kids do, but don't try to survive on just 4 hours, okay? Don't stress too much if you have a busy week, but do try to catch up on sleep during the weekend.

Since I have thyroid issues, lack of sleep completely drains my energy and ruins my metabolism. Adults might function on 7 hours, but keeping a regular sleep schedule is crucial for your hormone health.
