I think it's based on your body. Mine is very explicit: if I sleep less than 8 hours my stomach burns. If I sleep less than 7 my brain is useless. So, 8 for me (my wife needs 9!).
My general suggestion is that you should naturally wake up before the alarm rings. I set it to 9 hours and naturally wake up between 8 and 8:30 hours.
- swah 9y agoIf I "naturally" wake up after 6/6.5 hours, does that mean that my body needs less sleep, or I should control more variables to sleep 8 hours (light, temperature, melatonin..) ? (I do feel great some days when I sleep for longer..)
- overcast 9y agoDo you feel well rested after that? Or do you feel run down? If the former, that's how much is required for you. Myself, I need nearly exactly 8 hours. More is fine, but anything less and I will feel like garbage for the whole day.
- cesnja 9y agoExperiment by going to bed sooner. Personally I figured out there's a certain time in the morning when I'll wake up which does not depend on the time spent sleeping. After some trials, I figured that less than ~7 hours of sleep will leave me in a bad mood, but only in the afternoon -- I seem to function quite well in the morning.
