What is the amount of sleep on average people are supposed to get everynight? Is it about being accustomed to a schedule or should everyone be under the same conditions?

And if you're going to provide an answer, I'd appreciate very much if you could back it up with something, not just:

"8 HOURS BITCH"




(queue the "8 hours bitch" responses)

Adults usually need, on average, 7 to 9 hours sleep a night. As we get older, it’s normal to need less sleep. Most people over 70 need less than 6 hours sleep per night; and they tend to be light sleepers.


Normally you will go through cycles of sleep during the night, going in and out of REM every 90-120mins.. During the periods in between these cycles are the times when you should wake up naturally, if you do, you will feel refreshed. Should you wake up during an REM cycle you will simply feel like shit Razz. Thats why alarm clocks suck ass.. If you generally remember dreams your probably waking up at the wrong time, and it would explain any shitty tiredness when you wake.

(edit - haha.. the last bit I wrote from something I read about months ago.. looking at the page I pasted above in more detail it backs up what I've said Smile)..

When I have no alarms set I usually wake after 8-9 hours, so I guess that's what I need.

Its probably not the amount of sleep that is effecting you both other elements of your life style. The type of food you eat, the amount of exercise you do or the amount/type of work you take part in while awake.

You may want to see a doctor then, it could be health related, anemia or diabetes.

9! I'm lucky to get six, normally about four hours a night.
Plus I'm a dead light sleeper.

I usually sleep for 6 hours a day, and that's enough for me to survive. Of course, that's if I use an alarm clock. Without them, I sleep about 8-9 hours.

again. about 3 hours. For some reason I did 48 hours yesterday and the day before and I only went to bed because my left eye was drooping. I wasn't tired at all. I still only had 4 hours (may have been more but the door went) and I'm feeling fine now and could do another 48 hours I reckon.

I wasn't tired at all this mroning when I went to bed, but I went to sleep pretty quickly. I wasn't in zombie mode because I was pretty alert and was playing megaman Cool

Dude you can do a week after that much sleep christ. Admittiedly the last 2 days I didn't do much, and did drink a lot of coke so that might've been part of the reason too but I do think I coulda gone on for as long as I wanted. I didn't feel droawey or tired, or sleepy-eyed at all throughout the 48 hours. Usually around 20 hours I get tired, but if I push myself I can stay awake for another few hours, and if I get through an hour or 2 after that then I can go for another 5.

That need for sleep is abnormal. I'm sure you're deficient in some area, and as you've never rectified this deficiency you won't know what is is or that it's even there.

I sleep maybe 4 hours a nite. For sure its not enough.
When I try to sleep tho, my mind races. no matter how tired i am.

On weekends tho, I make it a point to get atleast 8 hours of sleep. Sleep is essential to your health and being able to function properly.

@Sub
Why do you stay up for so long? you have shit to do or because u cant sleep?
