Interesting tidbit from my school studies on sleep.  Introverts require on average 2 less hours of sleep per night.  The average introvert sleeps only 5 - 6 hours a night and wakes refreshed.  It makes sense because introverts have much less social interactions with people and the environment and therefore the mind has much less incidents to "process" during sleep.

I am an introvert, but I guess not average because I do need my sleep.  I think that is because though I don't interact with real live people much in my daily life, I think I do interact more with the world.  The people I know who are so-called extroverts never seem to have a lot of serious thoughts (not including their work) about the world around them.  I don't think people who are not introverts understand introverts . . . . that includes psychologists who do studies about them.  An introvert, unlike the extrovert, may spend a lot of time thinking instead of communicating with others, whereas the extrovert may spend more time being his gregarious self while doing less contemplating about things outside his world.  

 

There is that old saying, (I don't know if it really applies or not, you decide) "Still water runs deep."

Just the thoughts of a shy introvert.
