I've recently started sleeping more often and longer, than usualy, owing to an article posted in a FAQ forum.
Since then I've found results that are bothering me.
It seems that there is no standard in terms of a sleeping schedule.

Enough sleep to realize your not an adolescent, your an adult.
Most adults are supposed to have about seven hours of sleep. The best way to figure out is to see how much you sleep each night, and if you're still tired during the day, then you should sleep more.

I would challenge those who cited the 8 hour recommendation to find out where that number came from. While "everyone knows" 8 hours is recommended, I have never heard anyone even claim that is based on any actual study. The optimal time varies from person to person. The only way to determine how much time any one person needs is experimentation.

Eight hours is the recommended time for adults.
