Do any other N's, have an innate ability to be completely UNable to sleep, while simultaneously being able to sleep for days on end?
I find it nearly impossible to shut my mind off to go to sleep, but when it is shut off, it is OFF. I then hate getting up again unless I have had a very lengthy sleep (At least 8 hours).
I've been thinking, could this possibly be an N trait? The S's in my life all seem able too:
1) Go to sleep faster.
2) Get up easier with less sleep. In fact, in general they appear to need less sleep than me to function effectively.
As N's (Especially IN's) live more in their heads compared with S's, does this in the long run, take a tole on how much we need to recharge with sleep?
EDIT: My INTP friend also suffers from this, which made me wonder about its causes. In MBTI terms anyhow.
