Hey, this is a great question! It shows you know that sleep is important for your body and your brain :) Unfortunately there is not a 'one size fits all' sort of answer for this question. How much sleep you need can depend on many things, like your age or your activity level during the day. Also consider things like your individual internal clock. A friend of mine wakes up at almost exactly 5:00am pretty much every day - without an alarm clock! :O Then there are other factors like, if you are on medications or if they have side effects of sleepiness. Other things to consider are how well you slept last night and your average for the last week. There are so many things to think about! This is a very good question to talk about with your doctor, psychiatrist, or therapist. For of course, they'd know you and your situation better than I do. Maybe a *very* simple answer would be, hey if you're tired, get some sleep :) or even take a nap. A good nap length is 20 - 60 minutes. Regarding naps, my doctor said naps are just fine, but "Set and alarm, and get up!" :)

Commonly known, humans should get sleep for around 7 to 9 hours a night but it varies from each different person. This gives the body and mind time to recover from day to day activities. If you're busy with work or other stuff that effects the sleeping time, at minimum you could try to get at least 1-3 hours sleep to reguvenate the mind and catch up on it later that day. The quality of your sleep directly affects your mental and physical health and the quality of your waking life, including your productivity, emotional balance, brain and heart health, immune system, creativity, vitality, and even your weight.

How much sleep you need depends on you and your body, but generally speaking, it is recommended for healthy adults to get 7 to 9 hours of consecutive sleep every night. If you are sleeping more or less than the recommended amount, you may want to speak with a doctor. This could be normal for your body, but this could also be a sign of physical or mental health issues. Either way, it is always recommended that you practice good sleep hygiene by going to bed at the same time every night, avoiding stimulants like caffeine, and limiting naps during the day to about 30 minutes.
