It depends on the person.  \n\nJudging my the phrasing of your question- if you are subsisting on just 5 hours I would say it isn't enough.  (not being mean, just honest)\n\nMost adults need 8 hours or so per night.  As we age, we tend to need a little less or at least not be able to sleep that long.  Sleep recharges your mental batteries- I like to think of it as housekeeping for my brain- things always just make more sense when I have had enough. \n\nTo see how much sleep you really need, take a couple of weeks of going to bed early and not using an alarm.  After the 1st few days, see what time you are naturally waking up.  Average it, and that is how much you need. \n\nTake care of yourself!

Roughly?  4 hours after you wake up.\n\nThe reason for this is that the body goes into overdrive once awake; thus allowing your body to aclimate to the environment in which you woke up into.\n\nDuring the first 4 hours after waking up your body has used quite a bit of energy, produced quite a bit of toxins, and extended itself farther than during the rest of the day.\n\nSleeping for at least 20 minutes after your 4 hour initial stint will allow your body to be awake for the rest of the time.  It is reccomend that the sleep pattern be:\n\n4 hours, 20 minutes to 1 to 2 hours sleep; and then 6 hours and 1 hour sleep, and then normal sleep after the remainder of the hours that your awake.\n\nMind you this is totally ROUGH.  The reccomend sleep pattern is based on the individual, so if you are not sure of your choices, speak to your doctor about your normal sleep pattern.

I get about 6 hours on an average night.  I am a light sleeper and I tend to wake up and not be able to fall asleep again.  At my best I get 8-9.  I am a young adult.

You sleep until your body feels rested. 8-9 hours is normal for some people. Your body may require that much. Sleeping too much is only a problem when it means that you are sick or if it is affecting your life.\n\nLet your body rest.

I can only sleep for 6 hours max each night. I don't get tired until midnight and I wake up on my own at 6am each day...sometimes I'll linger in bed for a half hour but that's it. Oh yeah, I take a 20 min siesta or powernap each afternoon. I'm spoiled!

I'm a full time college student with a full time job and another part time job. I usually end up going to bed around 12 or 1 in the morning, and waking up around 5 or 6, depends what time I have to be at work, sometimes even 4 AM. I usually run on about 5-6 hours of sleep each day. It is tiring, but that's life.

I work night shift (7pm-7am).  The most tiring time is between 03:00-05:00.  Then you are close to the start of the day.  You cannot sleep...once you sleep you will want to fall asleep.  Your body will adjust to the daylight and act as if you nothing has happened.  You will be tired the rest of the day and should get some sleep as soon as you can.  You will probably end up sleeping close to 12-14 hours to make up for lack of sleep.

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?

For a full night's sleep, you need to sleep for 8/9 hours every night.  If you wake up at 6:00am, you would want to get to bed around 9:00pm.  Also, if you don't have breakfast, you should becuase that is your "morning fuel" to keep you going all day.  Some good breakfasts include eggs, or toast with peanut butter, or anything with protein, unlike sugars, which give you a sprint of energy but you crash just afterwards.

That is enough sleep for adults.  Children need more, 8-10 hours.  When adults sleep more than 8 hours it is actually bad for their bodies.

WebMD's article on sleep, which was reviewed by the Sleep Medicine Center at the Cleveland Clinic, and cites the National Institutes of Health and the National Sleep Foundation as their sources, state that:\n\n"The amount of sleep a person needs depends on the individual. The need for sleep depends on various factors, one of which is age. Infants usually require about 16-18 hours of sleep per day, while teenagers need about 9 hours per day on average. Most adults need about 7-8 hours of sleep per day.\n\nThe amount of sleep a person needs also increases if he or she has been deprived of sleep. People do not seem to adapt to getting less sleep than they need. "\n\n\nSweet dreams :)

Don't worry about the number of hours you're sleeping; think about how you feel in the morning, as well as how easily you get tired as the day goes on.  If you're comfortable with your level of energy, then that's the right amount of sleep for you.  And of course, it can change depending on how physically & mentally active you are.  In addition, the average person needs less sleep as they get older.
