In my opinion, I believe anything from 7-9 hours. Any less will leave you drowsy however, any more will also leave you in an unhealthy state!

It depends on age and many other different factors. The average is 8. The goal is to find a time where you wake up feeling refreshed. It's also important to wake up in the right time of your sleep cycle so you don't feel groggy.

Varies from person to person, age is an important factor. Children or the elderly need around 10 hours sleep a night, while adults are usually suggested to have around 8. But find what works for you, some people are fine with only 5 hours sleep, some can't survive having less than 10 hours!

It depends on how old you are, what you do during the day, and how early you need to wake up and the difficulty of the things you need to get done. I'd say, if possible, get 6-8 hours of sleep each night, if not more. If you can't do it one night, it's okay. You're going to be fine, I promise.

8 Hours is usually best in most cases, its really positive to get a good nights rest. If you dont get enough sleep this can have an affect on your mood, motivation and well being.

This depends on age and individual. For the most generic and we 5 to 8 hours is good.
If your a teen you need more because your brain is doing more neural clipping than at any other time. As you age you need less sleep.
To much sleep can be just as detrimental as to little.
For myself I find I function best with 3 to 4 hours and then an afternoon nap of about an hour

It clearly depends on your age and on what you do during your working day. I think that 7 or 8 hours are a good amount of time to be fine in the morning! Anyway, you should try it out yourself and see when you feel more rested and then try to keep on with that amount of time everyday.
Also, to be better in the morning, you should try to go to sleep everyday at the same hour (not past midnight) and waking up early in the morning (let's say around 8 o'clock to keep the time amount on the 8 hours i said before).

Hi it depends every person have different need of sleep but most healthy adults need between 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night to function at their best. Children and teens need even more. And despite the notion that our sleep needs decrease with age, most older people still need at least 7 hours of sleep, The best way to figure out if you’re meeting your sleep needs is to evaluate how you feel as you go about your day. If you’re logging enough sleep hours, you’ll feel energetic and alert all day long, from the moment you wake up until your regular bedtime.
