How many hours of sleep should we get a night? This is coming from a year 12's POV. And any ideas of how long a power nap should be?

Thanks in advance.

They say 8 is ideal, but I'm not too sure how many of us can actually follow that.

How many hours you getting a night?

 

[blieu]

Well it's currently 1am .... so I guess 6-7 hours a night? Usually 6 I guess

it really depends on the individual and what feels best for you.

6 may be enough for you, whilst others can function on a lot less etc

How are you feeling in the morning? in class?

A power nap should usually only be 20-30minutes max. Anything beyond this means you've entered deep sleep and wake up exhausted

Also, studies have proven the 8 hour sleep ideal to be a myth, and that rather humans have forced these patterns. What's optimal is sleeping 'x' or whatever hours at night, and having a power nap straight after lunch. This obviously isn't possible though with school and work.

So really, it all depends on the individual and at how many hours sleep you are okay with

From personal experience, I'd advise atleast sleeping minimum 6. Ideal amount is 8-10 hours a day. ^^ As this user said, there is no correct or scientifically proven amount.

During exam period, you should be sleeping more to rest your mind for maximum performance.

I need at least 8 to be fully functional

4hrs for me.

6.5-7 hours is about right for me. On weekends, it can get to 8.

 

[ncoul]

I'm yawning all day if I don't get 8.5

Personally I've found that ~5 hours per night has been my going rate for quite a few years now.

and you feel fully functional?

 

[jnney]

mine is about 7 hours. I don't take 'power naps' because they just make me so much sleepier.

 

[delian]

I had six hours sleep last night and felt a bit tired today.

 

[Spiritual Being]

I sleep at around 4-5 hours a night, I could sleep 3-4 and not get tired. It's just how my body functions; everyone is different.

I sleep around 7-8 hours, but on weekends i end up sleeping for 9 hours

 

[LoveHateSchool]

I sleep so much compared to you guys. Absolute minimum is 7 hours and it's normally 8 for weekdays with like 10 on weekends.

 

[SpiralFlex]

LOLOL SLEEP?! Wouldn't have a clue of the meaning of that word.

 

[avro]

I usually sleep for 8 and a half hours during the school week. Then again, I get driven to school. If I had to catch public transport to school it would be far less.

 

[lilly luta]

4hrs for me.

wow, how can you even survive... I sleep for at least 9 hours every night lol
