Do we need more sleep than we're getting?

I get the right amount of sleep. I never sleep during the daytime but I am in bed around 8 p.m - fall asleep around 9 and I am up at 5 or 6 a.m..

Doctors say that we need at least 7 hours of sleep, the quality of the sleep is important. I do not sleep well and I sleep less than 7 hours.

I can say with confidence that I'm getting the sleep that I need.

In theory, I get enough hours of sleep, unfortunately, it is not quality sleep.

I sleep for eight hours my dear friend.

I usually sleep for 8 hours, because adequate sleep is a key part of a healthy lifestyle , and can benefit our heart, weight , mind and more..

I always feel the need to have more sleep coz even though it ry to sleep for 6-8 hours, it just doesn't happen continuously. I always wake up in the middle of the night. I toss and turn in my sleep.

I wake up when my body tells me to. They say that getting more than 8 hours per night is not healthy. I get 7 - 8 and feel fine and peppy.

I know I'm not getting enough sleep. I usually take a nap during the day.

I probably don't get enough. My sleep is very broken during the night. I go to bed around 10 and am usually up by 6. I guess this would be enough if I actually slept.

I seem to be getting the sleep I need, but still feel tired when I wake up!!! Trying to adjust my schedule to sleep earlier that way I will be brite when it's time to get up!!! These days there's a lot breaking my rest!!! Restless leg syndrome and my head keeps itching!! I have to go see about that, but once I'm asleep I fall into deep and good sleep!! If only I can get up with no problem!!! Any suggestions!!!

Getting enough sleep is very important, but hard to do if you have sleep problems

I am not sure if I do. I think tho i get little sleep, it is enough. Or my body would argue with me.

Personally I would need more sleep than I get, however I sleep 8 hours a day. But the quality of my sleeping is not the best.

This time I go to sleep earlier, about 10 PM and sleep about 8 hours and more.. my body seems to be healing slowly..- broke a bone in February and I think I need extra sleep now..

I normally sleep 8 hrs..but when i'm tired or from a week of exhausting work i tend to sleep from 10-12 hrs..i'm a sleepyhead ??

@1hopefulman There are days I feel I get enough sleep and other days I do not get enough.

I sleep between 7-8 hours, i think that is enough for me.

I love sleeping...

A normal person active physically/mentally should sleep 8hours a day. A gentle person rarely active physically/mentally should sleep 6 hours a day. After eating lunch/dinner don't get into sleep instantly. Watch TV or do some back and forth steps. Let the stomach settle with your food, then go to sleep.
