How much sleep do you need?

Just what the title says, how much sleep do you need to function normally throughout the day?
It's been a while since I've seen a solid 8 hours of sleep. I usually get between 3-4 hours a night, but last night I went to bed about 1:45ish and was wide awake at 4 A.M. which tells me my body has gotten use to a lack of sleep. Probably not a good thing, but I don't feel tired at all, and I know I'll be up until the wee hours again tonight.

How much do you need not to be a walking zombie?

[TweetCrick]

i think 7,8 hours sleep is enough for me lol

[jedz]

Of course, we all need 8 hours of sleep everyday.

I'm working in a graveyard shift, I just sleep 4-5 hours daily.

[JackRT]

As much as I can get... I cannot believe some people live with 4 hours of sleep a day...

[BillyBowden]

As everybody knows that if you are not sleeping well then its effect your personal & professional life. To keep mind and body healthy take atleast 8-9 hrs but nowdays we can not not sleep more than 5-6 hrs.

I reckon you need a good 8 hours each night.
As you get older you can manage with less sleep.
Ain't that right Sami?!

Yea me too! I have always considered myself a nightowl though. I have seen you on here late at night, I always wonder "what is he doing?" lol


Yesterday though, I went to sleep at 4:30PM and woke up today at 4:43AM, I was like damn, I was only supposed to take a nap.

Got to love when you can sleep a whole 12 hours undisturbed, however rare those times may be, cherish them!

I guess now, my chinese food for dinner, will have to be my breakfast for today instead.

Much Thanks,

I tend to need 8-10 hours depending. I do a lot of weight training so my body tends to need a lot of rest to recuperate.

[dowson12345]

I need about 8-9 hours, but i sleep about 6 hours which is not enough for me and I feel sleepy all the day.

[aditd]

It does not matter how much at night ... but the after noon it's a must.

[steven300]

6 hour's sleep is best for human body

Any medical link to support this claim?

Every day in the morning when my alarm clock wakes me up at 6 a.m. I ask for myself how much do I need! But after an hour I forget about it and my crazy day begins. So it seems to me may be 7 hours would be enough for me to sleep a day.

[Jitendrasingh]

Hey,
I like to sleep but generally I take on 7 hr in 24 hr.

[lisaheader]

usually about 6-7 hrs.. but sometimes my sleep takes up to 14hrs

[ravan]

just 4-5 hours is enough for me sometimes I don't sleep for 2-3 days continuous this is part of my job.

[Michal Right]

Usually I sleep 6-7 hours in a day but in weekend I sleep 10-12 hours in a day.

[10db]

[backlinkninja]

[FreeStyle731]

I went to a graveyard shift for about 8 months and I sleep during the morning so all I can get is 3-5 hours of sleep a day. Lots of eye bags huh? well, yes it was tiring. Now, I'm back to normal shift and I can get 8-10 hours of sleep.

[blast23]

[johnreal]

Of course, we all need 8 hours of sleep everyday. I'm working in a graveyard shift, I just sleep 4-5 hours daily.
