Default Why Should We Have Eight Hours of Sleep?
BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | Why should we have eight hours' sleep?

It's all down to genes and whether we feel alert during the day...

How many do you average out, TKDLady? If I don't get at LEAST seven hours, I'm a crab! With the medication I'm on I'm lucky to get maybe five; last night it was three....so, today....I'm going to be a crab if I don't overcome it and be totally quiet!

I never get it right. Or neve rknow what is right. Today and yesterday I was pretty bright. Probably slept 8 or 9 hours. i can also be fine after 5 hours sleep, but I can also be a zombie after 5, 7, 8, 9 or 10... sometimes I just can't wake up.

Although that coincides with my down period's. When I am more awake I feel less depressed.

I suppose I average about 5 hours a night, sometimes more, sometimes less.

I get about 8 a night. Thursday - Sat I averaged 2-3 and I didn't sleep Sunday. Last night's sleep was AMAZING! Got about 11 hours in the most comfortable bed I have seen in my life - AND it was in a hotel!!!

I get my 8 hours, I can't function on anything less than that.
