I used to have enough at 4 hours a night and could skip the occasional night, yet the older I get the more I seem to need. Skipping a night has been no go for a long time. Nowadays 4 is still fine for a few nights as long as the sun is out. If it's overcast I feel very tired with that amount of sleep and rather have at least 7. Not necessarily all in one go though, I nap more often the older I get.
