You may FEEL fresh but you are not!
Latest studies show that we need a LOT more sleep than previously thought. Doctors now say its 8+ hours per night, MINIMUM, any less and you start having problems. Less than six hours and your reaction time begins to slow to the equivelent of .18 blood alcohol rate, (legally impared).
Over 80% of car accidents, air crashes, work related accidents, medical errors, police violence etc., all occur when the person reponsible is operating on less than 6 hours per night sleep!

7 1/2. Some research claims that you should sleep in 1 1/2 hour intervals because that's how long a REM cycle is. It really depends on the person, too. I could function well on 6 hours of sleep a day.

For a human being,at least 8-10 hours of sleep are necessary.It's okay to sleep for 5 hours,just don't freak out when you start feeling groggy.

To be precise, 9 hours of daily sleep is a must. But with the degrading quality of lifestyle, it has become impossible to sleep for long hours. Hence, 6 hours of sleep is advisable. If that too, isn't possible, better sleep for 4 hours in the night and thereafter, sleep whenever you get time, in batches.
Happy Sleeping!!

I get about 5 1/2 hours of sleep, but I think 7 hours would probably be better since i start feeling sleepy around midday.

1. Six to Eight hours of sleep is advisible.
2. Its not avisible to sleep long hours.
3. Early to bed, early to rise.. holds true even today also.
4. Its better to cut one hour from 8 hour sleep of night and to have it in afternoon.
5. having a sleep of more than 1 hr in the afternoon is also not advisible.

Five hours not good.It should be 8 hours sleep.
Lesser sleep makes ageing faster.
An 8 hour work shcedule, 8 hour sleep and 8 hour entertainement is the good life schedule

For the human body to function properly one needs at least 7-10 hours of sleep a night. According to WebMd, one of my favorite sources for reliable health info people from ages 12-18 need 8.25-9.5 hours a day.
