How much sleep do you (personally) need to feel good the next day?

1. 6 hours

2. Less than 7 hours and I hate everyone.

3. Since I can remember I’ve always needed 9 or 10 to be optimally charged and comfortable.

   Twas a reassurance to read that Albert Einstein was around the same. To weigh a rather humorous contrast: In a 1980s interview, Ted Turner stated he was perfectly fine in sleeping just 4 or 5 hours each night.

4. Between 6 and 9 hours. More or less and I feel off and kind of sluggish.

5. 7 hours. 8 is ideal but 6 I’m miserable.

6. At least 7. I can function on 5 but I don’t feel great.

7. 6 – 7 1/2 hours. Anything longer and I feel sluggish or my back hurts the next morning.

8. 6.5 hrs

9. Between 7-9 hours. More then 9 hours makes me wake up feeling the same way I would if I had 5-6 hours. Less then hours 5 hours is more of a nap then a sleep.

10. Depends on the workout that day. If I’m doing heavy cleans I need more sleep than if I had an active recovery day. On average im good with about 8.

11. About 7. I l can go on 4 for a day but can’t do that on back to back days

12. Summer: 6 hours and I’m OK. I should get 7.
    Winter: go for 10. 12 if I can get it.

13. 6 to 7 hours

14. Anywhere from 6 and 9 hours, and I’m plenty functional for the following day

15. 6-8, remains consistent on when you go to bed and when you wake up. No screens 30 mins before bed, I read, pray(optional), and then hit the hay.

16. 6 hours I’m good for 6 months but I start to go downhill, 7 I can do constantly, but if life ever slows down I would love to see 8-9 hours again.

17. 8 hours. 6 will be enough 😢

18. 8 I need a lot

19. 6.5 – 7 doesn’t guarantee I’ll feel good but less than that guarantees I won’t. I average about 4.5 – 5.5, usually.

20. At least 7. Any less I feel it in my eyes.

21. 6.5-7 hours

22. I’d be lucky to get two hours before I jerk awake from night terrors. Soo 8hours? Yeah lest say 8 Hours final answer!

23. 16. (I am extremely mentally ill.)

24. 8 hours is great. about to be a lot less (got a kid otw)

25. 10-11 hours is ideal.

26. I saw one comment that said “mentally ill” so I just wanna say same, but no amount of sleep will make me feel good. But to not feel like complete shit I need at least 6.

27. I feel great at 7+

    Good at 6+

    I can work at 4+

    I am an ass but can get it done on 2.5+.

28. 6 hours if I’m working I’ll feel fine. On days off I sleep 8-9 hours

29. 6 minimum. 5 can work sometimes if it’s great sleep. 7 is preference.

30. I can kinda function on 4+, 6 is a lot better, 7+ and I’m happy.

31. I need 9 but i sleep 6.5 -7 …life is relentless
