What is the expected amount of sleep for a healthy person that spends 8 hours in bed?

- wccrawford 6y agoI'm not in India, and it's pretty common for me and my wife to spend time in bed that we're not sleeping, and I'm not talking about sex. I'm talking reading, browsing our phones, etc. We don't have a TV in there, but it's not a far stretch as I did when I was a kid, and so did my parents.
- noisy_boy 6y agoNot sure why you are downvoted but this is pretty common in India and could be a contributing factor.
- larsrc 6y agoFor a healthy person in a good bed without interruptions, 8 hours. But if you have trouble falling back to sleep after being woken up, you can lose a fair amount in a noisy environment. If your bed is bad, you may wake up or not fall into a deep sleep. And there are medical conditions that can make you be unconscious but not actually sleeping. Plus, high stress levels interferes with sleep.
