how much sleep doyou get every night? Is 6 hours enough?

Answer 1

Depends on your age and the person, but a lot of adults can get 6 hours a night and be fine.

Answer 2

As a child you need 8 to 12 hours of sleep at night because that's when your body grows. Later in life you need 5 to 8 hours of sleep as that is when your body heals. An older person requires less sleep and may get by on 5 hours of sleep.

Answer 3

Studies have shown the the average person needs 8.25 hours of sleep every night assuming they have a 0 sleep debt. It all depends on you and your sleep debt. A very helpful source on this is a book called "The Promise Of Sleep" By Dr. William C. Dement. A world leader in the study of sleep.

Answer 4

I read that seven hours is the best you can get. I try for this and feel fine. If i sleep too long, i end up waking up with a headache and just don't feel right for the rest of the day.

Answer 5

I generally get about 6 1/2 hours a night and I seem to be permanently tired. I think it is different for different people though and for different ages. Surprisingly, I think older people need less sleep, perhaps because they expend less energy.

Answer 6

Six hours is definately not enough. You should at least get eight hours. I usually get nine to ten hours of sleep every night.

And the recommended amount is at least 8 hours.
