10:00 I never heard, you have to sleep 8 hours.
I never had a clear number in mind, but I always thought, it's around 10 hours for children, which decreases down to around 7 hours for adults, maybe even less when having a healthy lifestyle.
And the chirstain monks also had a similar rule: 7 hours for work, 7 hours for god, 7 hours for sleep.
When I can't sleep I always think "I want to have at least 7 hours of sleep", so I wouldn't be tired the next day.
For example when my work starts at 9, I probably want to get up somewhere around 8, so I try to go to be asleep at 1 in the night at latest.
But a few years ago, this logic made it feel weird to me to go to bed way before midnight. So going to bed at 10 always felt too early.
And even if I was able to fall asleep around 1, I often got up between 6 and 7 anyway, and was tired the next day.
But now I even try to go to bed around 8. Usually it I actually go to bed a little later, 9 or 10, but I still plan to have 8 or more hours of sleep if possible.
I never get as much sleep as I plan. I wake up in the middle of the night or don't fall asleep as soon, or wake up earlier.
So planning in 8 hours is pretty reasonable.
I actually want to be able to have around 9 hours of sleep.
The plan is to sleep early, wake up in the middle of the night after around 3 hours of sleep stay awake at least 3 hours, then sleep another 2 or 3 hours.
Because you usually only get one phase of deep sleep during one sleep, I think. And this phase usually starts during the first hour and lasts between 1 or 2 hours.
And this is the most important sleep. And if I stay awake for at least 3 hours, the chance is pretty high, that I get another deep sleep when I fall asleep next time.

12:21 I think, that's why I had for most of my life.
The first time I had it at a very young age (maybe 7).
It was after playing Zelda 3 at a friend, the part where you go into the dark world on the mountains, and the background is filled with stars.
It was scary, but I couldn't just ignore it, since I knew it was the truth. Since it is the truth.
Why does anything exist at all? What if just nothing existied? It's not just a thought. It's not a dream I can wake up from. Life is meaningless, and everything will be over one day.
When I get these thoughts, I start to panic and just want this to be a dream. I just want to exit and be back to the main menu of this game.
But this thought couldn't be a dream in any universe, since it's just reality. It's rooted in fundamental logic.
I don't have it very often anymore. Maybe once a year, maybe even less often. Only when I kind of try to get it, when I actively think about this stuff, like right now. Maybe I'll get it now, but I doubt it.
Sometimes I even kind of miss this feeling. At least it's kind of exciting.
But having to go to school or nowadays my job is annoying. It feels pretty meaningless then.
But I think these thoughts might have helped me to think freely.
It's difficult to scare me with real world problems, especially abstact ones which don't directly concern me.
