I work in night shifts and sleep all through the day. i usually used sleep for abt 8-9 hours. I have cut down on my sleep and now I'm sleeping for only 6 hours. Is it sufficient. Does it cause any health problems...please comment

One day has 24 hour, it's divided into 3 parts: 8 hour for sleep, 8 hour for working and 8 hour for other activities. I just follow this schedule, and I'm very fine and healthy now.

I sleep for 6-7 hours each day. But I think people should sleep about 8 hours each day.
