How much sleep do we need?

[The Hamburgler]

For me personally.

7 hours - zombie
8 hours - tired
9 hours - still unrefreshed
10 hours - good

yes it really sucks. i've seen a gp about it and haven't found any reasons yet. i was tested negative for sleep apnoea. thyroid stuff was checked and was fine. no luck so far. i'm unsure whether thats just me or if i indeed have a medical problem =/

I'm similar

My daily sleepage has slowly been increasing over the last month or so from 6-7 to 8 or 9, sometimes more

Definitely feel better during the day, find I tend to crash about 8pm, where previously it was 3-4

That's because you're actually doing some work

My sleeping patterns have changed many times, according to lifestyle and circumstances - studying like crazy, working, being unemployed, working again but with very different hours, massive family stresses, etc., etc.

I guess that's to be expected. As for what I need though, it seems that around 6 to 7 hours is about right. Why, I have absolutely no idea. Uh, we're all different and stuff. Yeah.

Can definitely function - and even lift okay - on less, but I don't like it much. :/
