It's commonly agreed that eight-hour sleep is preferable. But I am afraid that I can not promise that. I once read that if you can not sleep for eight hours, then it is better to sleep less than oversleep. An eight-hour less person's life span is longer than the oversleeper. I also read that if we are deprived from sufficient sleep, we tend to be more easily irritable and moody. Yeah, I find it true in many people including myself. so, how is your sleep?

With all the chores that need to get done at home, after the kids are put to bed, I only get to lie down at around 12:15. Then I have to get up for work at around 4:45. So that makes my sleeping hours at only 4.5 hours per day. And believe me, I am always irritable and moody! Good thing, I get to sleep in during the weekends!

Now days, I am not able to sleep properly, and most of the days, I am forced to take an alprozolam . If I take this sleeping tablet, I have a sound sleep for about 6 hours, other wise, I usually have a disturbed sleep. Of course I agree with you, that if somebody gets a good eight hour sleep, it is good for health.
