I prefer to get 9 or so, but these days it's usually around 7.5 with a 20min nap if I can swing it.

8-8.5 hrs.  I'm very selfish about getting my sleep. They could put bamboo under my nails and I wouldn't squawk, but deprive me of sleep and I'd rat all of youse out.  :D

albert einstein slept 4 hours a night. Let me tell you one thing, its a myth that you need 8 hours of sleep. I know a lot of people that sleep more then 8 hours and they feel tired all the time. Its all mental, lets say for an example you feel tired right now, and all of a sudden you have 100 000 dollars in the palm of your hand, would you still feel tired? Dont think so, its allmental, your spirit is tired, and the body listens to your spirit. Snap out of it son, learn some mental knowledge.

Myth. What are you? An idiot? Everyone's sleep needs are different (read the thread) so they sleep varying lengths. There's no 'myth' about it, or that we're hardwired to sleep only 4 hrs and our sedentary, modern lifestyle creates some need for 8 hrs.  ::)

just because people sleep a certain no of hours doesnt mean they have to or even should.

8 hours for example is TOO MUCH according to recent studies and can be dangerous.

"More surprisingly, scientists found those individuals who increased the number of hours they slept per night from seven to eight hours or more were more than twice as likely to die within 11-17 years as those who kept sleeping for seven."

Hehe. You're talking out of your ass again. Too much sleep dangerous!? I'd wager that most people are sleep deprived. Have you even looked at the sleep literature (and not the news headlines that appear every week), the peer reviewed journals? People have been studying sleep forever and the amount of studies done is unending, and despite all of that, sleep and our need for it is not fully understood. If you 'need' 8 hrs sleep, you probably do. If you get by on 4hrs a night, you're probably selling yourself short in some ways (eg. advanced aging comes to mind) but you'll probably function ok, so don't worry about it.

IMO if you dont have enough willpower or feel like doing an hours worth of cardio combined with low cals i would say a person is sleep deprived. If im sleep deprived all i wanna do is eat when i 'should' sleep

"Researchers at the University of Warwick's Warwick Medical School studied 10,308 British civil servants in two different time periods: between 1985 and 1988, and between 1992 and 1993.

With seven hours seen as the optimal amount of sleep for the average adult, the study subjects who cut the duration of their sleep from seven hours to five hours a night had a 1.7-fold increased risk of death from all causes within the ensuing 11-17 years, according to the research, presented Monday to the British Sleep Society.

More surprisingly, scientists found those individuals who increased the number of hours they slept per night from seven to eight hours or more were more than twice as likely to die within 11-17 years as those who kept sleeping for seven."

Yeah well, that snippet was the CNN editing I was referring to. Good work. Gawd, I must be an idiot for feeding a troll like you. Ok. Here's a simple one: Do you know that the FAA and the DOT mandate limitations on flying/driving to ensure restfulness. In fact, on long-haul flights, crews are encouraged to sleep, in shift, to ensure preparedness. So, if you feel like taking a chance, try flying with a pilot with 'your' more limited amount of sleep. I will fly with a pilot that has been well-rested and actually lives in the real world. Bonus: Here's a prediction for ya: Insurance companies will, in the near future if they haven't already, start looking into sleep deprivation as a cause(s) of vehicle accidents and comcomitant culpabilities. Sleep tight.

Yeah well, that snippet was the CNN editing I was referring to. Good work. Gawd, I must be an idiot for feeding a troll like you. Ok.

is there anything in this studie you disagree with? if they say 8 hours sleep isnt as good as 7, why would you question that? on what grounds? you dont think a study like that, one of the largest of its kind, is worth anything? why not? can you look up ONE single criticism on the net to that study? just one. cnn editing would be fine.

thanks.

I need to make an appointment to get my apnea checked out too....Wisconsin, did you sleep one night at a hospital or sleep center ? Or did you outright buy the machine? I think you have to go to the sleep center if you want your coverage to cover some of the cost.

You have to get a sleep study done before you can have a doctor prescribe you a CPAP machine.  You go to the hospital and they hook you up to about 20000 wires and monitor you while you sleep.

Slept from 12-15 hours a "night" but after a while you get depressed and feel sick.
Best for me is from 22:00 to 06:00.

I agree sometimes on weekends, after a long night i sleep like 10-12 hours and feel like shit. i think 7-8 is optimal, but I can function on 6 easily.
