Sleep is needed by all living things, be it us as humans, or animals, we all need sleep. Sleep is needed to replenish our lost energy when doing daily activities. Sleep is also needed to avoid diseases such as heart attack. Too much working and lack of sleep would cause one to always feel tired, sleeping disorder and others. Some expert says that a good sleep takes about six to eight hours every day. Some also said that five to six hours is considerable. Others might want to sleep more; probably eight to ten hours. One of my friend's theory to get rid of dark circles around the eye - Sleep for 14 hours! How many hours of sleep considered a good sleep? Stay safe, take care. Adie, July 2020

Too little or too much sleep is not good. I usually sleep between 6-8 hours a night.

6 to 8 is healthy. 14 hours will make you lethargic.

I guess 6 to 8 hours of sleep is needed for the body to work actively.

For me it depends on how stressed or tired I am. I dont wake up to an alarm clock. I wake up naturally when my body is fully rested.

I think about 8 hours would be considered very good. I dont get good sleep so never have eight hours
