How Much Sleep?

It depends on the age. Teenages need 7-8 (now raised to 9) hrs daily, and sleeping before 12am. Adult (it varies) 5-8 hrs. Although the quantity is commonly used to measure sleep, but the quality of sleep is the most important. Some one can sleep 10 hrs , yet be tired ; another person can sleep 5-7 hrs and remain energetic. Enjoy Mylotting and hope you get some good sleep! :D

i need 11-12 hours of sleep to be in a good mood it puts a crippel on my social and school life

When I was still studying in college, I usually get 3-4 hours of sleep. I only get a short time to sleep because of the internship requirements that I had to comply and then I had to wake up early (like 3 AM) to avoid being late. Luckily, I now get 10-11 hours of sleep.

yes, like you, i know i need 8 hours of sleep every night...but i usually get 6-7 hours only because i am an insomniac. however, even if go to bed early, i cant still sleep.. i've always something buggling in my mind, always thinking of what my schedule for tomorrow., of what i am going to do first. it's always like that at night. that's why in the morning, i have a heavy head and feels lousy. but no one's going to do my work so i have to do it myself. i don't even have time to take a nap in the afternoon.

I'm with you. Less than 8 hours will make me be tired and extremely sleepy all the day, but I rarely can sleep that long. I'm a busy bee!

I am totally the same way. I can get by on 6 but it is really difficult. I'm kind of a night owl too. I like to sleep during the day but work kind of interferes with that. So I am forced to go to bed at a regular time most nights.

I sleep for 5 hours usually but its winter now and I feel lazy to get up early. so I am getting late everyday. Still I think 5-6 hours sleep is enough for a grown up person. But definitely for children it should be more.

6 hours is good enough for me. 8 would be best but then I think 6 does the trick for me. I usually get 4-5 though because I have a lot to do all the time.

I have to get at least 8 hours of sleep or else I'll be groggy!
