Many people would reply by saying a minimum of eight hours of rest. But the answer doesn't depend solely on how many hours you log in bed. Night after night, you need deep uninterrupted sleep in a bed that provides adequate comfort support and space. What matters most of all is how you feel in the morning. If you wake up full of renewed energy, you've had a good night's sleep. \n\nThere is no one formula for how much sleep is enough for you. Expecting all people to need the same amount of rest would be as absurd as expecting them to eat the same amount of food every day. Each of us seems to have an innate sleep "appetite" that is as much a part of our genetic programming as hair color, height and skin tone. Normal sleep times range from five to ten hours; the average is 7 1/2. About one or two people in one hundred can get by with just five hours; another small minority needs twice that amount. \n\nHow much sleep is enough for you? To figure out your sleep needs, keep your wake-up time the same every morning and vary your bedtimes. Are you groggy after six hours of shut-eye? Does an extra hour give your more stamina? What about an extra two hours? Since too much time in bed can make some people feel sluggish, don't assume that more is always better. Listen to your body's signals and adjust your sleep schedule to suit them. \n\nKeep in mind that sleep needs change with age. And the older you are, the less total sleep time you may need. A newborn may spend 18 hours asleep. From infancy to adulthood, sleep decreases by more than half. Throughout the middle decades of life, seven or eight hours of sleep generally are needed to provide adequate rest. For older individuals, six hours may suffice.

I am the same way.  My wife wonders why I am so tired all of the time, but the truth is that a little nap during the day is really good for you.  Peoples bodies are so different.  My wife can just keep going for all hours.  I am very active as well, I lift weights, run, and work all day, but I usually find that a good nights rest sneaking in a little nap helps a lot.  I know that athletes are recommended to get about 10 hours of sleep.  So, it depends on so many different things, but your body will tell you what it needs and you should respond.

First of all, 10 hours a day is a bit much in the first place.  Average human beings require 8-9 hours per night, and many health professionals warn against less than 7, so I would NOT recommend you sleeping just 6!  However, many, many people sleep 6 hours or even less, despite the dangerous health problems they risk, so it depends on your motives: what could possibly warrant starving yourself of sleep?

Because having 13 hours of alseep, can be worse than having 7, depending on your age, you should hit exactly the amount of sleep you need, and you will wake up just fine, like one time i fell alseep at 3 o clock in the afternoon, woke up at about 11:30, and i was wide awake, becuase I convieniently hit the time to wake up, but then i fell back asleep to about 7, and i felt horrible, like I stayed up 10 days in a row, so try to time your sleep perfectly there is an algebraic question somewhere on the internet, but if your young, about 9 hours. if your a bit older 8, and if your very old, about 6 and a half, try to find it its like S=a*2.6937 dont ask, but its sometheing very simaler to that, i couldnt find it :&#92;

I would say yes, this feeling is normal.  I can relate to what you describe because I went for long periods without sleep in the past and I felt horrible, similar to what you describe.  It is hard on anyone who misses a lot of needed sleep!  There are sleep clinics around now days, so if this continues, get a referal from your doctor to one and take care of your insomnia!  Good luck.

i know it's lame, but try sleeping a little earlier. if you're not staying up for something important, sleeping earlier will help. make sure you're getting enough sleep for you. it's not necessarily 8 hours, but however long your body needs, that could be 6. you can feel tired if you get too much sleep. try waking up at the same time every morning to regulate you sleep cycle. make sure you're comfortable while you're sleeping. and try not drinking caffeine from late afternoon and at night so you don't have problems sleeping.

I can function at a level 10 with nine hours sleep.\n\nI can function at a level 8-9 with seven to eight hours sleep.\n\nMy concentration begins to droop with less than seven hours sleep to maybe a level 6 or lower.\n\nMissy Andryst

Im 25, usually 7 - 8 hours does it, if ive been sleeping regularly in this pattern. However, if Ive not eaten much the day before, if my diet isnt right, my blood sugar would be low, hence the lack of energy.\nSo to answer your question. Regular sleep(7-8 hrs), good diet, no stress.\nHope ive helped your study.

You are right,\n\nBefore visiting a Doctor we should at least look at the most basic issues that can affect sleep.\n\n1) How late did you go to sleep Id eally especially if you are in recuperating mode, go to sleep before 10pm\n2) Did you eat stimulant foods prior to sleep (4 to 6 hours)  \n     Such as sugar based foods (deserts, Soda Pops, Coffee, Teas etc...) and Smoking has a lot of stimulants and create major fatigue issues.\n3) Do you work before going to sleep..(it makes the mind very active) It might be better to do something laid back an hour before sleeping (avoid watching the news... but rather read something relaxing or take a walk)\n4) Do you eat too late.... Try to eat around 6 o clockish at the latest and eat light for dinner.\n5) Do you exercise or go to Gym in the evening... It does affect many peoples Sleep as it stimulates the body.\n6) Did you have a all nighter or almost recently.. It can take a couple of nights of normal sleep to recuperate\n7) Did you drink Surenal gland penalising drinks such as Coffee and Bear...\n8) It can take a while before alcoohol gets absorbs into the system... It looks like it may make you body relax but it actually, for many, makes sleep very light and not deep at all. \n9) Do you drink enough water (makes sur you drink it based on Turst and not quantity)\n\nSo hope this common sense gigi helped !

You should change your normal daily habits. When you sleep to much your body gets used to that and makes you constantly tired. It can also lead to being over weight. I would recomend that you try waking up early and going to bed at like 10pm. Also eat like 3 meals at a set time everyday and do a little excercise. After a week or two you'll feel better and if not my bad

usually, the more you sleep, the more tired you are, the more sleepy... but if you have been staying up late or working hard this week or so, i think your body is still trying to recharge, try to get some rest, not sleep, this afternoon (because the week-end is still far). a hot bath, some relaxing music, a light healthy meal, then sleep 7 hours, and tomorrow morning, with a healthy breakfast, you will be fresher than ever!!

Eight hours is plenty of sleep.  Most teenagers get MUCH less than that, but for most adults and teenagers, the recommended amount is 8-10, I think, and it varies from person to person.\n\nGetting too little sleep, of course, leaves you tired through the day.  However, it is possible to get too much sleep (although that seems IMPOSSIBLE to those of us who are sleep deprived), and that can leave you feeling groggy and wishing you had more.\n\nIf you're waking up feeling rested, you're probably just fine.  You may want to talk to your doctor (or a trainer, if you have one) to make sure, or if you are waking up still feeling tired.
