Today I read some news that people who sleep 9 or more hours a night are more attractive. I sleep between 6 and 8 hours, but never 9, not even on vacation! I guess I need to change this One of my goals for this year was to go to bed earlier at night, but I haven't been successful. I sleep a little earlier, but it is only about 30 minutes. I have always heard that the ideal number of hours of sleep is 8 for an adult but it seems now that if we want to improve the way we look we should sleep a little bit more How many hours do you sleep at night? Picture from the web.

I think we share a thing in common. Once I wake up after sound sleep, I also rarely go back to sleep!

The only reason, and it is a huge reach, for long sleepers to be more attractive is because they would not have dark circles under their eyes. I usually get about five hours of sleep, but I function best with seven. Last night I shockingly slept eight.

@AmbiePam, It's the same for me as well. Mostly I sleep between 5 and 6 hours. It's very rare with me that I exceed 7 hours.

Oh my! I think that I did never sleep 9 hours per night, I am lucky when I sleep 5 hours in a row without waking up.

@SIDIKIMPOLE I do not think that 5 hours in a row is good and most of the time I only manage 3 hours.

I've always heard that 8 hours sleep is good. I can't imagine that more sleep would make you more attractive unless it put you in a better mood! lol

Attractiveness usually depends on one's mood, i agree with you! Otherwise i do not think attractiveness has anything to do with sleeping long.

I get 8 hours of sleep. Go to bed around 11-11:30 and wake up around 8-7:30. I think as we get older, we don't need as much sleep. Although, I like your idea of getting some beauty sleep.

It seems that you are getting around 8 hours, that is already a beauty sleep.

@nela13 Yes, although some mornings I don't feel so beautiful. Sometimes I awake around 6 or so to use the bathroom. If I do I get less sleep. But I average about 7-8 most nights.

Well, you sleep but not in a row, and it is difficult for you to get deep sleep if you keep waking up.

I only get 6 hours tops no matter what I do. And it's not 6 hours straight . . . I wake up every 2-3 hours. Sometimes I can get a nap in during the day . . . but for some reason it lasts only 15 minutes.

I have a very poor sleeping pattern. Well, my sleep depends on days of the week and the kind of tasks I have and how urgent they have to be finished. Some days I sleep for 3-4 hours, others I sleep for 5-6 hours. But never 7 and above. However when I am traveling a long distance, I can sleep in the bus for most of the traveling time.

3-4 hours isn't enough, don't you feel tired during the day? I think sleeping in the bus don't give enough rest.

@nela13 Nope, I do not sleep much in the bus, but I think sleeping 1 hour during the day and 3-4 hours at night is a great idea.

I used to sleep more than 9 hours per night, can't tell if I was more attractive but I was definitely more tired. The more I sleep, the more tired I am during the day, so I stick with 6 to 8 hours too with the help of alarms. After all, I just wanna be active and feel good, I don't see my own face most of the day.
