I will mention it. Although I'm not tired during the day, except when I'm staring at a screen for hours on end. I've never woken up gasping for breath.

Would never have thought so but having become a father on Friday it’s a YES from me.

Congratulations, it was about a year before ours started sleeping through, probably one of the worst years of my life.
Chuffing love sleep, don't get enough of it but that's the life of a shift worker with 2 kids.
One of the best decisions I ever made was sleeping in a different room to the wife, I snore, she hits me, neither of us got a decent night's sleep. Now we both get a better sleep, we argue less during the day and it solves the problem of having more kids.
Sleep isn't a hobby, it's a lifestyle.

Likewise only I can never stay asleep for an hour without waking up? It's either pain or needing a wee that gets me up.
If it’s a hobby then I am shit at it.

Very difficult for folk working shifts such as @The Clamp.
Imho there’s plenty of well established things others can do. I knew someone who’d been a chronic bad sleeper for years, he completely gave up tea and coffee, it solved it. Or less extreme, abstain from midday onwards.

I have no idea who that is, or what s/he has to do with sleep or mattress testing.

It would explain our leaky defence of late so it's certainly possible.

The first few months are tough. Even a couple of decades on, the memory leaves me feeling a lot of sympathy with those of you who live with interrupted sleep over longer periods. Although, my wife always takes perverse pleasure in telling new parents 'Congratulations, you'll never sleep peacefully again,' as even after they start sleeping themselves, you never stop worrying about them, no matter how old they get.

Exactly my point. What if you choose to sleep in your spare time?
Most people would term this, a waste of time, but is it, if you enjoy doing it?
Is sleep as a hobby any more of a waste of time than doing any other activity that qualifies as a hobby? If so, why?
Okay, I guess that is an American thing but the way it started happening here I thought it would be something happening all over the world. It's much cheaper to do at home.

It's not a hobby, it's an addiction. Once you start, you can't stop. You can try, but the side-effects are horrible.
