How do I limit the number of returned items?

Question

myModel.find({}, function(err, items) {
    console.log(items.length);    // Big number
});

How can I limit the returned items to only the latest

...additionally make sure to use:

mongoose.Promise = Promise;

This sets the mongoose promise to the native ES6 promise. Without this addition I got:

DeprecationWarning: Mongoose: mpromise (mongoose's default promise library) is deprecated, plug in your own promise library instead: http://mongoosejs.com/docs/promises.html
