It depends on the person sometimes 6-7 hours is enough and for other people it can be 8-9 or more. It’s how ever much you feel you need to recuperate and your body needs in order to be healthy. Plus on different days it can vary if you have work during the week then you could have less sleep because you have less time on your hands however when it’s the weekend you may be able to get more sleep in because it’s easier to Manage your time. Don’t feel disheartened if you can’t stick to a routine as sometimes it’s hard to stay consistent.

Sleep is a very important part of someone's life. Many people get different amounts of sleep and it works for them in some case. For some adults they get less than 6 hours and are on caffeine which makes them more productive. However for some people, people need their sleep or else they will crash in the middle of the day. In my opinion the best amount of sleep is between 8-10 hours of sleep per night. Anything more is bad for you because it can make you sleepy and also getting too less will make you sleepy. All in all, 8-10 hours is the right amount.

That depends on the age. Babies typically need as much as 17 hours of sleep. As you age and stop developing you will need less sleep. Toddlers need anywhere from 11 to 14 hours of sleep, preschoolers need 10 to 13 hours. Then, 6 to 13 year olds need about 9 to 11 hours daily. Teenagers need 8 to 10, and adults need 7-9. It all depends on your age, which corresponds to development. If you are growing taller more (or on your menstrual cycle) you might feel tired more and need to get more sleep. The numbers listed above are averages.

I have seen a few people who can survive just fine with 5-6 hours of sleep and wake up really energised. And when they sleep more than that, they wake up feeling groggy and not having slept enough. But the healthy and normal duration is 6-8 hours a day. Now, for me, I think 6 hours is too little. You have to find out which end of the duration is okay for you. Also, take naps whenever you can. Recharge, relax. You need all the energy you can get. In case you need a shut-eye in the middle of work or studies, take a nap for about 30 minutes tops. If you sleep longer than that, you will just wake up tired and wanting more.

That question is completely impossible to answer without knowing you. Sleep requirements depend of the person, age (generally, the younger you are the more sleep you need), and time of year (you need less sleep in the summer, and more in the winter).
It also depends greatly on your regular activity levels and diet. When I work out consistently and eat properly, I usually need less sleep. Not doing these things? 9-10 hours. With them? 7-8 hours. While this is anecdotal, I know more than one person who this happens to.
We need as much sleep as our bodies need to feel restored. The "recommended" is 8 hours, but some need 10, some need 4. Really you should be getting enough sleep that you can wake up naturally without an alarm clock.
Not much is known about sleep. There are experts with decades in the field, that when asked will reply 'during the day something is lost, and when we sleep it is restored'.

It is different for people how much sleep they need individually. The scientific consensus is centered around 7-9 hours of sleep daily. You should experiment with the amount you feel comfortable with. It is also important whether it is quality sleep or not. There are sleep-tracking apps that help you to get an estimate of that. It is very important (according to Jordan Peterson), to get up at the same time every day, rather than focusing going to bed early (or at the exactly same time everyday). As for my personal experience, I tend to prefer 9 hours of sleep every day and I feel the most comfortable sleeping from 11 pm to 8 am. I also had to experiment with different combinations until I realized that this suits me the best. I hope this answer helps! :)

Everyone has different needs for sleep. It's important that you feel like you got enough restful sleep but not too much and that you do whatever else makes your sleep best for you. That might mean developing a bedtime routine that lets you sleep more comfortably, without screen time before bed, in a cozy and safe place. There are guidelines for sleep that say you need something like 8 hours per night, but this is different for each person. Some do well with 7 hours and others need 10. It's not the hours of sleep for some people but the quality of sleep

On average, it’s around 8 hours. However it can depend based on your age, job type, hobbies, sports, diet etc. It’s different for everyone! However if you are feeling tired a lot this could be a sign that you are not getting enough. This could be due to stress or possibly a physical health problem. Your doctor should be able to help you out if you think this is the case! There is also such thing as too much sleep. This is quite common in depression sufferers. You may find yourself feeling lethargic or struggling to get out of bed!

The amount of sleep an individual needs each night is entirely dependent on their personal preference. For some people, 6 hours may be sufficient, whereas some people may need closer to 10 to feel they are functioning optimally. I need between 7-8, but I would recommend that everyone experiment with their sleep to find what works best for them. You may find that you need a little less rest than the average person or even a little more. Either way, I would recommend that each person get at least 6 hours, but beyond that, it is a question that is up to personal preference.

Sleep is one of the most underrated aspects of a daily life. These days switching off at night seems to be harder and harder but the benefits of sleep far outweigh any other concerns. An average adult should get 7-8 hours of a sleep at night while anyone younger should be sleeping at least 9 hours a night. Sleep allows the body to rest and recover and has a huge impact on our mental and physical health. Sleeping well will help you start the next day energized and ready to go while also ensuring your fatigue is reduced overall.
