I usually sleep about 8 hours a night. I don't work any longer, and I could probably sleep longer. I love to sleep. I have a physical problem and I know if I don't get up early and exercise I won't do it. I take a nap everyday. Usually for an hour. I could probably nap longer, but I have to go to the bathroom all the time. Nap time is the highlight of my day. I plan everything around my naps.

I admit that I don't get enough sleep, it's because of my morning classes and I get home in the evening. It's a tiring college life for me but I enjoy it. I just sleep long at weekends. I think I only sleep 5 or 6 hours every weekdays.

I think an adult should have 6-8 hours to sleep everyday. But some people in light-sleeping, they can sleep only 4-5 hours a day, but they are still healthy. And, some heavy sleeper they need to sleep about 7-8 hours a day. What type you are?

hello,
I always slept 7 hours a day if ever i can,or even longer like 8-9 hours.
I worked with different shift hours,so i need good rest esp if i am into night shift or early morning so that i won't be feeling sleepy.
I love to sleep either
have a good day

Hi, pengyachu!
Nice question you asked.
I try to sleep at least 7h and a half per day. Well, 7h could be enough as well but not less than that. Usually I sleep about 8 - I think that completely enough. If I sleep more than that I don't feel good. If I sleep less than 7hours, I don't feel right as well.
In my opinion, sleeping's one of the most important body processes. So I agree that people who don't have enough sleep are in danger.
Greetings!

I would say on average 12 hours per day, I love to sleep, and it's a blissful escape from the real, stressful world. I know I should try to limit to no more than 10, which I'm trying to get back into doing. I suppose some people require more sleep than others :-p

Hello! I am a person who really love to sleep and I sleep 7-8 hours a night. When my time of sleep didn't reach that hours, surely I will feel dizzy and most of the day, I will feel irritated and as if my head is too light. I believe that a good uninterrupted sleep brings me so much advantage especially when talking about the health benefits it brings. HAve a nice day!

Hi, Pengyachu, I try to sleep at least 7 hours but sometimes I have too much work and a don't sleep enough time. But the problem is that I usually go to bed very late. I feel better in the evening and sometimes I work even late at night. Or I make things for myself like now - I try to check things in myLot and it's 2 AM. This is not good for the health too :D

It's weird because for the past few days I didn't just get seven hours of sleep but more! I overslept most of the times. It's not healthy, it gives me headache. Last night, I slept from 12am-11am and it felt like my whole body is aching. I'm not insomniac, maybe it's the result of my previous work (graveyard shift) that I can't take out off my system yet. I hope I can control my sleeping habit and have a healthy seven hours of sleep.

hi friend. I heard that a man should sleep 8 hours per day to be a healthy man. But atleast should sleep 6 hours. 6 hours sleep per day is must. But i used to sleep even 12 hours.

Wow really so I am at risk of developing a cardiovascular diseases because I only sleep a minimum of five to six hours a day. It's about time I really have to sleep more hours or else I will have illness later. The problem is I don't have much time to finish everything and that is the reason why I have to sleep few hours everyday.
Anyways, thanks for the info this really freaks me out and some sort of awakening as well. I will try to have some sleep during day time so that I can have at least seven hours for sleep everyday. Good thing they published some researched like this.
