Sleep - how many minimum hours require per day ?

At the age of 2 I stopped my kids from having naps in the daytime to help them sleep through the night. As this is my youngest that wakes me in the middle of the night and climbs into my bed I haven't minded but as I have been getting these dizzy spells I think that it can only be the lack of sleep causing the problem as the doctors have no idea what else it could be.

Ya, me too, when consult doctor, they just give me some medicine to cure dizzy and told me that's normal. I also feel that's due to not enough sleep.

Hi Humbug25, you must really sort out the situation quick as it really may cause you get into the dizziness if the situation still continue like that. Previously i do have same situation, my little princess will wake up around 2 am and then sit on bed and play for around 30 to 45 mins then only sleep again. I get into that for around 3 days and i have to surrender as i got sick. . But luckily after educate and arrange her afternoon sleeping time, the situation improve.

Most of the time, I let my body tell me whether I need to sleep or not. Don't like to lie on the bed and then cannot sleep. So once I feel sleepy, I will go to bed. Thanks for the advise on getting enough rest. I do know that it is important. And that trying to catch up on the weekend is not gonna be helpful. A sleep debt is a debt that can never be repaid no matter how much you sleep. But life is short. Don't want to waste too much of it sleeping. As long as the body is not tired, I will just go about my activity.

Hi AhGong, thanks for comment. the total sleep hours are very little if it continuously for a weeks just with 4-5 hours. Do better rest more, health is important too. According to some article, catch up on the sleep hours on weekend does not help, just personally feel that already fulfill the needs of sleep. . So better have good rest from time to time.

Hi AhGong, me too, sometimes i do feel that sleep is waste of time. But i also don't want because of too stress and spoil the health. So we really need to balance it.

Hi Vijigopi, oh no, according to some research, the catch up sleep in the weekend does not really help and 3-4 hours sleeps in average working days is really tired. Pity on the situation and i would said if that related to work or project, no choice and have to complete that. So you must take good care for him then.

Hi ZhaoSongHan, glad that you know the ability need to rest at least 6 hours. That will prevent to get into similar dizzy all day situation. Thanks for sharing and comment.

Anyway,sleeping for four hours is too less,six hours is ok and it does not take your more time and you have a rest,wish you have a good health

Hi Zhaosonghan, thanks for your advice, will definitely take good care for my health. Wish you too.

Hi CJay77, good that you know the minimum of 8 hours sleep. Also, great that you have the 8 hours sleep on weekend cause i hardly have that too. Thanks for sharing and comment.

Hi Appchem, you are right, 8 hours should enough for everyone. I tried before drink tea and coffee, but not sure i am immune to that because i still feel very sleepy. I cant take nap in between as i will get into sleep mode and become dizzy if less then 4 hours. So i must not nap in between. Somehow, that's me. Thanks for sharing and comment.

Hi Ravenladyj, sorry and sad to hear for the situation. It is really hard to get through or overcome that. I would said you are great as you are able to take such severe depression because if it really happen to me, i wonder i can take that. . Thanks for sharing and wish you all the best to overcome the situation.

Thank you

Hi CraftyCorner, can feel and understand your situation from your expression. When we force to do something, the feeling is not good especially it deals with sleep. Wish you all the best for the situation.

Hi Carolscash, you are right, most important is our body condition can accept and adopt to that. But if situation allow, is really better to have more rest, because we might not know when our organ can last, so prevention is better than cure.

Hi Blindmoongoddess, you great. you know that how to get the supplement to help to boost the energy. Also, nap is always a good choice too. Again, if sometimes can reduce on work hour and get a quality rest. Hope you can do so, cause health really can't replace with money.
