More and more people are busy do work, earn money, bring children, so they don't have enough time to have a rest, generally speaking, it's necessary for people sleep 8 hours everyday. I only slept 6-7 hours everyday, because I often get up earlier but slept very late at night. How many hours do you sleep everyday?

Well of course. I think most of the people experience that. We need sleep to relive stress from our daily routines. We need sleep to rest our body fully. And if we sleep less or can't sleep then our body cannot recuperate or relieve stress. So we will feel very exhausted. Another thing is when we lack sleep, our immune system is low and when our immune system is low of course we're at high risk to catch diseases.

Yeah, I slept only 6 hours last night, because this is weekend, I watched TV very late last night, and I get up earlier this morning to buy some foods for my lunch and dinner. Do you sleep earlier last night? How do you spent your weekend? Happy mylotting.

Hi betty!I don't think you really need to sleep 8hours a day. It depends. In my country most older people slept less than that only. Anyway, i only sleep five to six hours a day, though I'm not that old yet.:) I worked nine hours during night time so I'm not waking up early in the morning. Morning is actually a night time for me.. lol! Spend the rest of my day watching television or on the internet. At times, when i do some busy stuffs, i cannot even get five hours of my sleep.

So it's around 8 hours for you, I think it's ok, because you get your nap at noon.

yes you are right sleep is necessary for us but in our fast life we don't have a good. every person needs 8 hours sleep. but we don't. i also gave 6 to 7 hours only for sleep. this is wrong i know but we can't compromise with our work which can give you money. have a nice day and nice sleep also.

Yeah, you are right, it's health for us to get 8 hours sleep a day, but sometimes we need to do overtime work, and we need to get up earlier the next morning, so we can't get 8 hours sleeping.

i sleep usually 6 to 8 hours, sometimes i sleep late because i usually surf at night and chat with my family and friends in other parts of the world. no matter how late i slept, i still wake up the same time... even if i only sleep 3 or 4 hours i wake up at 6 or 7 am

Oh, I think you are used to sleep late at night, maybe you will have full energy at night, because you chat with your family and friends, and that will let your spirit exciting, so it's difficult to sleep well. Try to sleep earlier.

so generally speaking, 6-7hours is enough, because we will take a nap at noon, do you take a nap at noon? ans do you get up late at your weekend? Happy mylotting.

I sleep about 7 hours a night. In the summer, it is about 6 hours but when there is less sunlight in the winter, I sleep more!

Wow, I think you will feel very hungry if you always sleep at the weekend, you can try to sleep 8-9hours, then your tummy won't starve, lol.

I really like to sleep and sometimes I want to spend all my time sleeping because sleeping is fun,and usually how many hours I sleep depends on if I have to work and what time I have to be at work,and what time I fall asleep,most nights I get at least eight hours of sleep,but some nights like when I have to get up at six thirty am I only get like four hours of sleep,since me and my wife usually go to bed between one am and three am because that is the time we get done mylotting and getting other things done even though I know we need to try to go to bed earlier even though I do not like going to bed earlier and I often have insomnia.

I got up very early everyday, and don't have a nap, so everyday when I finished work, and go home I will feel sleepy, and want to do nothing, so I sleep early at night, and actually I can sleep 8 hours a day, and I heard this is good for health, if you sleep 8 hours a day, but I still feel sleepy the next day.
