[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 146827, member: 18023"] If you go to bed at 7:30 PM, let's say you are asleep by 8 PM, 4 AM is 8 hours, 2 AM is 6 hours, maybe you just don't need 8 hours of sleep. I have read adults need between 7-9 hours, you are pretty close already. However, 7-9 hours is likely a flawed study. But more significantly: "Although it's a common belief that 8 hours of sleep is required for optimal health, a six-year study of more than one million adults ages 30 to 102 has shown that people who get only 6 to 7 hours a night have a lower death rate. Individuals who sleep 8 hours or more, or less than 4 hours a night, were shown to have a significantly increased death rate compared to those who averaged 6 to 7 hours. ........ The best survival rates were found among those who slept 7 hours per night. The study showed that a group sleeping 8 hours were 12 percent more likely to die within the six-year period than those sleeping 7 hours, other factors being equal. Even those with as little as 5 hours sleep lived longer than participants with 8 hours or more per night.

Though as always, individual needs vary. There are several industries (drugs, mattress, fancy pillows, etc) dependent on convincing people their products are magic solutions to a good night sleep.
