This is an interesting one which I think depends on what we THINK we need. Most folk in UK seem to generally consider we need 8 hours or thereabouts. I joined a group once which stated that if you needed more than 4 hours there was something the matter with you. This struck me as quite ridiculous on first hearing it but I gradually realised that our perception and conditioning are an enormous influence. I now KNOW I can manage quite well with 5 or 4 hours but have the capacity to sleep for 12 hours too. I am truly blessed to be able to drop off almost the minute my head touches the pillow.

Although it’s a common belief that 8 hours of sleep is required for optimal health, a six-year study of more than one million adults ages 30 to 102 has shown that people who get only 6 to 7 hours a night have a lower death rate. Individuals who sleep 8 hours or more, or less than 4 hours a night, were shown to have a significantly increased death rate compared to those who averaged 6 to 7 hours.

You should eat small portions of food very often. You should eat on regular basis and various food. Have a good, steady regime of eating, sleeping, relaxing and exercising. And most important - feel happy!

I would say at least 8 hours. I work out on a regular basis, and the times that I train extremely hard I would require at least 8 hours just to function. But If I was trying to avoid being sore and not cranky at work , 9 hours.

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.

Sleep when you're tired, but the most crucial sleeping hours are considered to be 2-6am (you should sleep more than 4 hours though, at least 6 at a MINIMUM).  Happy sleeping.

I am also doing my exams at the moment, have 3, 2 of which are 100%! Sleep is one of the most inportant things you need to do to let your brain and body rest. You need at least 6-8 hours a night, this helps with concentration for studing. Depriving yourself isn't a great idea, might effect your studies the opposite way.

Sleep, most important -do not compromise on a good 8 hour undisturbed sleep cycle.\n\nOther than that eat well and perform regular, not rigorous, exercises.

I went almost a week with only a couple 30 minute naps.  It depends on who you are and how much energy inducing stuff you drink normally.

The mind requires time to refresh.  Nine hours for a school aged child gives the body and the mind enough time to relax.  I think that everyone should get at least that much rest.  Try it for a week yourself, you'll be amazed at how much better you feel during the day!
