someone told me that sleeping 2 hours is better than 3 hours or sleeping 8 hours is better than sleeping 9 hours... is that true?

LOL... this is the first time I've ever heard about this nonsense. I would rather have 7 hours of sleeping than 6 hours. Whoever said this is not at his best thinking at the moment.

no that's not true, at least not for that reason.
if you were takin a nap, you'd need to sleep a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Starting 30 minutes after you sleep, you enter rapid eye movement and rapid eye movement (REM) lasts sessions of 1-1/2 hours. That's why you should sleep 2 hours instead of 3 because if you wake up after 3, you are in the middle of REM, which makes you feel less rested.
Also, depending on your age, 9 hours of sleep is rarely good for anyone. It may not leave you drowsy but if you slept 7-8 hour nights for a week, you'd see a difference.

I don't think it is true. Sleeping 7 hours would be better than sleeping 6 hours. Although it depends on the person. But in general, no . Good Luck! :)

I don't believe so. Some people require more sleep than others. I don't think odd or even numbers has anything to do with it. I require at least eight hours to function properly while some people can get by with 5 to 6 hours.

I think it matters that you get enough sleep. The bad thing is to not be on a routine, and go to sleep at different hours everyday. Thats why a lot of young people, and people that work odd hours are sleepy a lot.

sleeping 7 hours is perfect. 6 hours is too little. 8 hours gets to be a bit much and it makes you tired again

I can't think of a single reason why it would be....seems silly to me. I don't think your body cares whether its odd or even, just as long as it's enough!
