How much sleep should I get daily?

It varies from person to person but a rough guide would be 7-10 hours a night with the average amount if sleep needed being 8hours a night. As I mentioned it varies a lot from person to person and it can also vary for each person as they go through different stages of their life (for example in general teenagers need more sleep than adults). If you are ill (either physically or mentally) it is likely that you will need more sleep than you do when you are healthy. The flip side of that it that when we are ill with depression or anxiety, one of the first things to be effected is our sleep pattern. For me, when I'm battling depression, my insomnia gets worse which then makes me more depressed which turns into a never ending cycle. This means that a big part of my self care routine is making sure I get enough sleep. If you are struggling with insomnia or you are sleeping more than usual but still don't feel rested, it is a good idea to talk to your GP/primary care doctor as they can do a lot to help you with your sleep.

Ideally 6-8 hours of sleep should suffice for a healthy active adult. However it is all in the mind and it majorly depends on the quality of sleep rather than the quantity. If you can wake up fresh and active after a good night's undisturbed sleep, it means you have slept well. Try reducing your stress levels and if you still feel you're not able to sleep properly, try some moderate form of exercise after meals before going to bed. This shall slightly tire you out and help you sleep better. If you still feel you're suffering from insomnia, you may consult a doctor who would prescribe anti anxiety drugs which would help you calm down and sleep.

6 - 8 hours is healthy. If you are fatigued or exhausted, sometimes more sleep is better. If you can't sleep that long at once, try to nap when you can. It's not always easy to sleep when you have a lot on your mind, so make sure to try something relaxing before you go to bed or take a nap. Music, a book, meditation, or anything else that helps to calm you. Lack of sleep can exacerbate depression and anxiety. Personally, I sleep around 10 hours a day, but it's between night and naps because I suffer from insomnia. Always do what you can to help your health.

The amount of sleep that you are required to get will depend mainly based on your health or your personal circumstances. However, it is important, on average, for the average human being, to get at least eight hours of sleep. This is because sleep has been provided to improve executive function significantly which is important for decision making and performing well in the workplace or at school. In addition, sleep can also improve the immune system of the individual which makes it easier to fend off diseases and less likely to be sick. If you do struggle with sleep, it can be attributed to a lack of melatonin levels or a problem with the hypothalamus in which sleep is regulated.

The answer depends on various factors such as age, ethnicity/ancestry/genetics, nutrition, etc. There are developmental and post-developmental periods which require greater or lesser amounts of sleep. For some, 6 hours is adequate while others may need 8-10. The total hours spent sleeping may be split between naps and bedtime rest. The essential element when deciding how much sleep is necessary is whether or not you are capable of reaching REM sleep and the period following the end of the REM cycle. Naps should not surpass 20 minutes if 6 hours are acquired and REM sleep achieved. The average number of hours for an average adult to sleep at night is 8 hours.

The amount of sleep depends on how active you are, how long you work but also the difficulty of your work. Besides all of that. It depends on you age. There are helpful sites out there on the internet to help you with finding the best answer. You may also find it helpful to seek help by a doctor or a mental health specialist. If you do not feel comfortable with tgese methods of seeking help you can also seek help as a good friend to a certified listener on 7 cups of tea. I hope i answered your questions as good as possibly, i am not a doctor or mental health specialist.

This would probably be a good question for your doctor, as they know your health better than we would. Generally speak, 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep is good. I find for myself that I can function, and function properly with about 6 hours of sleep. Age has a lot to do with the suggested amount of sleep also. Here is a little chat based on age of the amount of sleep on should get, and this is according to the NSF (National sleep foundation): -Newborns (0-3 months): Sleep range narrowed to 14-17 hours each day (previously it was 12-18) -Infants (4-11 months): Sleep range widened two hours to 12-15 hours (previously it was 14-15) -Toddlers (1-2 years): Sleep range widened by one hour to 11-14 hours (previously it was 12-14) -Preschoolers (3-5): Sleep range widened by one hour to 10-13 hours (previously it was 11-13) -School age children (6-13): Sleep range widened by one hour to 9-11 hours (previously it was 10-11) -Teenagers (14-17): Sleep range widened by one hour to 8-10 hours (previously it was 8.5-9.5) -Younger adults (18-25): Sleep range is 7-9 hours (new age category) -Adults (26-64): Sleep range did not change and remains 7-9 hours -Older adults (65+): Sleep range is 7-8 hours (new age category) Good Luck, and Sweet Dreams!

Studies have shown that a minimum of 7 hours is the optimal amount of sleep anyone should get. Of course, every person is different, and some might need more, and some can do well with a little less. Try to test it out, you can do a little experiment. Start with 7 hours of sleep and see how you feel after a certain amount of time, let's say that you do this for two weeks. If you feel tired and have a hard time concentrating, then this might be a sign that 7 hours are not enough. Now you can gradually increase and see how you are starting to feel.

My understanding is that the recommended amount of hours of sleep depends on one's age for the average. Babies and the elderly will, on average, will need more sleep than the average adult. Some studies have found that teenagers could also use up to 10 hours of sleep sometimes and still be within their recommended amount of sleep. The most important thing is setting a sleep schedule and listen to yourself. Check out when you feel the most rested as well as when you feel the most focused throughout the day. Some people even sleep 6 hours and take a nap in the middle of the day - it all just depends on your personal needs.

This really depends on your age. Adults typically need 7-9 hours of sleep whereas teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep. Generally, I get anywhere from 7 hours to 10 hours. It really depends on what I've done that day. I've also gotten questions on how can I fall asleep easier. If you have trouble falling asleep, before trying a sleep-aid, try coloring for an hour before you actually go to bed, take a 30 minute walk/run, journal, read, find something that slows your mind down long enough for -you to get those 7-10 hours of sleep that you need to be healthy :)
