Thanks, everyone is different in that sense I guess. Where some need 6 hours of sleep a night and other 8 or more. It's recommended you get at least 8 so the mind and body get fully healed. I am a big believer with all my studies in sleep, that good quality sleep is essential for good health. I have been worked in the medical field for over 16 years now and have done a one year fellowship in sleep medicine and worked at a sleep lab for three years. What I came away with was that people can do well on 6-8 hours of sleep, the ones who slept less had problems with sleep later on in the week in the studies. Meaning it caught up to them and they crashed. Thanks for actually reading and posting a great question.
