How many hours of sleep do you need to function properly the next day?
Some people only need a few hours, while some others need 8 or more. Where do you fit in?

According to various studies, to help function properly the next day, you need to spend at least 8 hours to sleep. For me, I usually sleep from 7-8 hours.

Ice man Thank you Ashely.

Five hours if I want to just drag through the day. Six hours to be functional. Probably 7 to enjoy life.

This might appear twice. (not sure) I think you fit in with the norm. Thanks for answering Bill.

For me, personally, I can function with 4 hours. I like more, but that's the minimum.

I aim for 7, but feel better with 8.....

You're supposed to get 7 hours of sleep and one hour of exercise per day. If you don't exercise then you're supposed to get 8 hours of sleep. In the military they say you can survive on 4 hours a night, if necessary, for up to a week. After that you're just not sharp enough to be useful.

That's very true.

It depends on how many beers I drank that night...jk...I usually average about 7 hours.
-
6 normally however "normally" does not apply right now. I am recovering from an injury and believe the extra sleep is being demanded for recovery.
-
I have sleep disorders. I slept about 6 hours this weekend but got 10 hours Tuesday. I've been up since around noon yesterday. Its 7:30 am now. 3 days is the longest I've gone without sleeping. I start forgetting words at that point. Sometimes I get silly when I haven't slept.
-
6 is usually enough for me, sometimes a little less. Longer than 7 or 8 seems to tire me more.
-
6, however right now it is more. My body is healing due to an injury. Rest that I did not have a real opportunity to partake in. this weekend is the last of it. Back to the grind next week. Sigh
-
For elders it is 7 hours, and for children it's 8, I usually sleep 7 hours
-
8+. I can get by on 6 or 7 for one to two nights only. Sleeping in as long as I want to is usually about 10 hours. I love my sleep
-
No clue, can't remember a time where I slept and felt refreshed, i've slept everywhere from 5 minutes to 17 hours and nothing...
-
I'll let you know when I get enough. :P

I tend to burn the candle at both ends, so I know what it's like. Needless to say ... I'll not hold my breath in anticipation of getting enough sleep. : ) -
