Well, I am probably going to be the one odd ball here but I feel that it is COMPLETELY dependant upon your own body. My body needs only 4 to 5 hours of sleep on a given night. I physically can not lie in bed and doze off and on, when I wake up, I get up. When I go to bed, I go to sleep within 5 minutes of my head hitting the pillow. The amount of sleep you need is directly related to the amount of energy you expend during the day and the type of sleep you are getting. I get super deep recouperative sleep every single night. There is the occasion where I will sleep for 6 or 7 hours, but that is due to the amount of physical energy I expend the previous day.

Well I think the universal acceptance sleep time is roughly 8 hours. I max out at 8 hours of sleep. I actually prefer right around 7. I am one of those people that drags down too much if I get too much sleep. I have to get at least 6 hours though. Otherwise it is not enough and I never seem to fully wake up during the day.

well i think atleast 8 hours of good sleep will help. but 5-6 hrs of good sleep is actually sufficent to have a healthy body. In case u dotn get good sleep ,try doing yoga and meditation. It really helps.
