Is it healthy to only sleep for 3 hours a night?

Answer 1

My advice would be to listen to your body. After 3 hours of sleep at night, do you feel tired the next day? Do you feel depressed, lacking in energy, groggy, etc.? If so, you need more sleep. Your body will let you know if 3 hours of sleep is good enough or if you need more. Most sleep experts can only give you "suggestions" on the amount of sleep you need (e.g. 7-8 hours), but every one is different. In my early 20s, I lived on 4 hours of sleep at night with a 1.5 hour nap in the late afternoon and I was perfectly fine. Now I'm lucky if 8 hours of sleep at night is enough for my older body.

Although many factors influence how much sleep you really need, most young adults report sleeping about seven and a half hours on weekday nights and eight and a half hours on weekend nights. And the common recommendation is eight hours a night. But individual needs vary greatly.
