I sleep generally around 7 hours. The general rule for adults is 7-8 hours of sleep is better. There was a study showing that people who sleep 7 hours as opposed to 8 tend to do better throughout the day. But really it's whatever works for you, if you feel rested after 6 and a 1/2 hours then that's great.

A good sleeping pattern is usually 7 to 9 hours. I usually get 8 to 10 hours depending on the day. Lately, I've been getting 11 or more because I haven't been feeling up to par, and I work nights so when I get off on Sunday morning, I go to bed and sleep for 6 hours, get up andeat supper and watch a movie then I go back to bed and sleep for like 12 hours.

Everyone should at least sleep 8 hours a night.
Me 8 hours with meds.
4 without, and then I'm not a nice person I have a head ache all day and filled tired.
I haven't ever been able to sleep well, because noise wakes me up light sleeper. I'm not suppose to drink any caffeine so I try not to. But in the mornings I drink a little bit of coffee to get me going. If I drink it at night I'm up all night. I wish there was some way to sleep with out any meds. I haven't took them tonight and it's all most 3 am I still up.

I sleep 9-11 hours but I'm heavily medicated (high BP). Average is 7-8 but as you get older you tend to require less, babies need 10-12 while some high schoolers are fine with 5-6, I was and I still got a 3.9 GPA. 6.5 sounds fine.

5 hours and a 3 hour nap later in the day - 6 1/2 sounds like not enough sleep ..

You really need to get 7-8 hours of sleep to be able to function normally throughout the day.

Usually 4 or 5. I think anywhere between 6 and 9 is normal.

6-1/2 can be very normal, for you.
It is not just the quanity of sleep but the quality.
5 hours of very good, high quality, REM sleep, is alot bettern than 12 hours of tossing and turning.
If you are able to function well on the amount you are sleeping, not getting sick all the time, not appearing with luggage (large bags) under the eyes, then yeah, you are getting enough quality sleep.

I feel best when I can get 8 hours sleep. A lot of people go on less sleep, but just because you can doesn't mean it is advisable. You only live once - do you want to walk through your only chance at life half-asleep? I believe in quality waking hours over quantity.

I can never sleep more than 6 1/2 hours anymore. I think it's completely normal, particularly if you are not waking up tired.
