You need to sleep for between 5 and 9hrs every night. Everyone is different. To work out how much sleep you need. Try 8hrs to start off with. If you feel too tired, go to be 15mins earlier. If you can't sleep, the next night go to bed 15 mins later. Carry on doing this until you feel refreshed and alert when you wake up. Then you'll know how long your body needs to sleep every night.

Some guidelines to help you consider how much sleep you or your loved ones might need are:
Infants and Children – Infants require about 16 hours a day. From 6 months to about 3 years, children’s sleep requirement decreases to about 14 hours. Young children generally get their sleep from a combination of nighttime sleep and naps.
Teenagers – Teenagers need about 9 hours of sleep a night. Sleep is crucial for teenagers because it is while they are sleeping that their bodies release a hormone that is essential during their growth spurt.
Adults – For most adults, 7 to 8 hours a night appears to be the best amount of sleep, although the amount ranges from 5 hours to 10 hours of sleep each day depending on the individual. It should be noted that a recent research study conducted by Boston University School of Medicine found that study participants that reported sleeping less than 6 hours or more than 9 hours a day had an increased incidence of diabetes, compared to those who slept 7-8 hours

I've heard 6-8 hrs. a night. But I've also heard the older you get
the less you desire sleep. Senoirs sleep 2-3 hrs. per night.
Nothing is written in stone. If you feel rested after 4-5 hrs. sleep
then that's normal for you. Go for it.

Doctors agree that you should sleep from 7 to 8 hours, but defenitely not less than that.

as long as you need, but if you sleep longer than 9 hours that you have problem, if you dont sleep at all and you are rested than you could call it insomnia, although i do not consider insomnia the problem when i have something to do, worst is when im bored ;)

If i'm lucky, I can manage 5 hours per night.
That isn't enough for anyone, but I just have to do with it.
