While you may have heard that you need seven to eight hours of
sleep each night, according to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) there is no perfect number of sleep needed
because the amount of z's needed varies across individuals. Also,
you're right that getting less sleep than your body needs may not
be healthy, so decreasing the amount of sleep you get may not be
the answer to your question. Rather than focusing on training
your body to need less sleep, you may consider figuring out if
you're getting the sleep you need.
So, how much sleep does a person need? Well, recommendations are
based on age. According to the National Sleep Foundation adults
may need anywhere from six to ten hours of sleep each night.

The story is a heartwarming glimpse into the Heian period of
Japan and its mythology.
In 999, Lady Masako is desperately lonely after her mother and
sister die in an epidemic, so she performs a shamanic ritual to
enter the spirit world to contact them. Unable to control her
powers, she leaves in a panic but pulls Mina back with her.
Caught in a struggle for control, the two young women realize
they must work together to seek help from the famous diviner Abe
no Seimei, the only person powerful enough to send Mina back to
her own time. But his assistance comes at a cost, and the longer
Mina delays paying it, the greater the risk of her spirit fusing
with Masako's permanently.
As Mina navigates the treacherous world of the imperial court and
the schemes of a powerful regent, she also gets a glimpse of the
Heian Period through the eyes of historical figures like Sei
Shonagon and Murasaki Shikibu, ladies-in-waiting to rival
empresses. But will she ever be able to return to her own time
and body? Or will she be trapped in the past forever?(amazon.com)
