Your experience doesn't include enough data to accurately mirror reality then. Is spend time doing lots of things other than sleeping, they just happen to be doing it alone. Watching movies, analyzing situations, solving math problems, making computer programs, reading the Bible, writing poetry, painting, etc. Hell, lots of these things they may even be able to do in their beds. Just because they are alone and under the sheets does not mean they are sleeping though. (Note: I realize how dirty that last sentence sounds, but get your mind out of the gutter!)
Please, offer a good reason as to why Is might sleep more than Es. One that I won't be able to counter with all the things I've already mentioned in this thread.
Lol, calm down, wtf. You didn't provide any "data" either, just your own rationalization. I was talking about sleeping, not doing other stuff under the sheets, which of course cannot be counted as sleep-time. Again: all the introverts I know sleep (strictly sleep) more than the extroverts. Perhaps in your circle of friends and acquaintances the situation is either reversed, or there is no clear patter. I cannot know that. Since, however, what I spoke about mirrors the reality I have experienced, at the very least I can say that its negation cannot mirror reality accurately, since there is at least one occurrence against that hypthesis (namely, that there is no clear pattern of sleeping-preference between E and Is).
An example of a "good reason" would be that generally speaking introverts are defined as being less energetic than extraverts (before you question this definition, I will say that it's one of the parameters in the Big-5 definition of E-I axis).
