Do really sleep at least 8 hours a day?

hello there,well,i really don't know exactly,how many hours do i sleep.but most of the time,i guess it would be around 6-9 hours of sleep.depends on my mood f i want to wake up early or late.besides i have nothing much to worry about.not unless i planned to do many things around in the day.i would really wake up early,or i have to go somewhere,that's when i'll wake up early.

I average about six hours a day. Although I realize I need more, there are just not enough hours in the day to do all I want to accomplish.

I sleep generally around 8-10 depending how I was the night before, as sometimes I struggle to get to sleep due to having thoughts on my mind. I enjoy my sleep, so I try to sleep for at least the recommended amount of time and once awake I like to be able to stay active, as I hate being tired during the day. When I sleep for only a few hours, I wake up feeling very unwell. I try to avoid this as much as possible.

Nope! and not even in a proper pattern!

i dont sleep 8 hours a day^^ i guess that normally i sleep 7 hours a day more or less^^ but thats enough for me^^ i dont like to sleep too many hours^^ but 8 hours is what people should sleep yes^^ but for adults if you sleep only 7 hours is ok also^^ but for teenagers they should sleep or 8 or 9 hours to be more healthy^^ my teacher said that teenagers that sleep less than that become nervous when adults. so the best really is you sleep 8 hours^^ thats a good time doesnt matter if you are an adult or a teenager^^

I think you're right, but if we can count aspirine and painkillers as a medicine. I know a few years back I was barely ever sick, but now I think even if you're healthy as a fish there'll still come time every once in awhile you'll have to take a medicine. A few people may be lucky tho to be healthy and not have to take any meds.

Hi, invisblelady. I try to get as much as eight hours at night. My three year old daughter, constantly wakes me up out of my sleep crying and whining. So, I am unable to get all my eight hours of sleep.

I do try to sleep 8 hours a night. Sometimes, it's not always easy to actually get 8 hours a night.

i am not really paying attention about it. but it is if i lack of sleeping, my body won't work well. at least i try to sleep enough, it is about 6-7 hours per day

I really need 8 hours of sleep a day to feel good. If I don't sleep 8 hours,I feel tired. But there are people who need less hours of sleep. It depends on their organism, it's in the genes, I think. It also depends on the age.

For the past few months, I cannot complete the 8-hour sleep that I used to have. Now that I have completed my training in the hospital and I am still waiting on when to be called, I will make sure that I can complete my rest periods. I've been so stressed out lately and it's time for me to relax.

I try to get 8 or 8+ hours a day if I can, but sometimes I can't and when I wake up sleeping only 5 hours or so I tell you, I literally feel like zombiewalking lol really, I have this strange sleepy feeling and I'm tired and cranky at the same time.

i am sleeping for 7hrs and one hrs short napping is prefered ,that gives me energy,thanks for sharing.

Ya I too sleep 8 hours a day.. That makes the next day fresh and energetic.. Have a great day:)

I try to get around 7 or 8 hours of sleep each night. If not, I am not a happy camper when I get up and my body just doesn't want to get up if I don't get enough sleep. I have a better day when I get the needed sleep that my body wants.

The only time I sleep 8 hours is when I am ill. A "good night sleep" for me is 6 hours. I have done well on 3 hours of sleep too!

I notice that when I do not get enough sleep, not only am I tired but I am also irritable, get more headcaches and sometimes lightheaded. Right now I am dealing with these chronic headaches and no lack of sleep is a contributing factor on top of the stress I am dealing with.

I always try to get in 8 hours of sleep but unfortunately recently I have been waking up a lot sooner before I get to 8 hours. And it is a very irregular pattern which irritates me a lot cos I can't go back to sleep once I have waken up already. On those days I'm lucky if I can dodge the headache part of the hassle and just deal with my tiredness and grumpiness lol. Well the grumpy part other people have to deal with not so much me. Nifty topic! Sleep is very important to the human mind and body and glad you brought it up. ++!

I like to sleep 8 hours a day but I sleep always late and I need also to wake up early. But if I have free time especially in the afternoon, I really have my siesta.

yep!! in times like this when i don't have a job... i get all the luxury of sleeping that i couldn't get when i have a job... i sleep early and wake up late.. do mylot discussions and take a lot of naps in between while checking out for online job opportunities... it' boring but this is the best that i could have as of the moment..=)
