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.

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.

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

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.

@LadyDuck I tend to agree with you, but some of us can hardly make two hours in a row.

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.

This is the discussion I was looking for. And that's quite helpful. You have mentioned a few things that really match what I've also heard about. The first thing is about the number of hours of sleep. I've heard one should get at least 6-8 hours of sleep. Adults should have at least 8 hours. I get less than 6 hours at times. That happens if I sleep a bit late. Secondly, I don't think 9 hours of sleep is possible even for (lazy) adults I just meant to say, 9 hours is too much of sleep. And that's easily sufficient. More than enough actually. Thirdly, I've also heard that the ideal number of sleep hours should be 8. That does sufficiently good to the body. So yeah! And I'm keeping the best for the last. As far as looks are concerned, yes, sufficient sleep makes your body gain the necessary rest and that's good enough to show on your face. It really does reflect. But see, inspite of me knowing these many things, I still retire to bed almost at 1 am. Time for me to change the schedule a bit.

Minimum of 5 hours up to 6 hours for me. I would be happy if I can get 7 hours on weekdays.

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.

I can sleep for 12 hours if I am alone in the house. With my mom around, it's not possible. Every morning she wakes me up with a cup of tea

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.

Sleeping long hours are not great. You are bound get headache and be tired for rest of day. It has the exact effects of not having proper sleep. I have done that and hence can speak about it confidently! According to current research , every body is unique in terms of amount of sleep. Some get acquainted even with 4 hours and some more. Usual people fall between 6-8 hours. So if you are getting 6-8 hours of sleep , it is all fine and you are doing alright. I sleep for around 7 hours and perhaps if i am little tired or sick , perhaps go for 8 hours of sleep. But notthing beyond. Going to bed early is also helpful to get that good sleep. Take care!
