how much sleep do people really
need?
Does it change as people grow?
Do teenagers need more than
other people and older men less ?
my 1 yr old sleeps 13 hours a day,
may 6 yr old about 3.

I sleep about 7 hours during the
week, this is not enough. Roughly 10 hours is good.
I'm 21.

I seem to survive on 5-6 hours,
but my son can sleep more hours than he is actually awake. (p.s. he's
27)

i've been averaging about 5 hours
a night for a while now. it's not pleasant. I'd like to be getting 7,
(11pm to 6am would be perfect) but my internal clock has gone all
screwy.

It might have something to do
with growth. Older people tend to sleep fewer hours then, say,
teenagers.

When I was 17-19 I used to be
able to go straight from the night club to work without sleep and do fine,
whereas now I seem to need at least 6 hours of zedland to function well
the next day. Of course, my general physical condition is not as good now
as it was then.

in the school holidays i was
surviving on less than 5 hours of sleep a night, mainly because the
doscovery and geographic channels had some really great docos on and i
would stay up a little bit late to watch them, but now that i'm back at
school, if i get less than 8-9 hours of sleep a night i'm apt to start
acting cranky, snapping at people and feel like bursting into tears for no
particular reason. you do not want to know me on these
days.

Hi there
I love sleep, but
due to personal and professional stresses I am sleepping about 3 hours a
night. It is horrible an dI feel awful because of it. My work performance
also suffers. Tonight I am going to listen to relaxation music as I retire
to try to aid sleep.

you shoul have at least 9 and a 1/2 hours sleep so for each yer it goes up
or down by 1/2 an hour so you can work it out from
there.

so when your 30 you need no sleep
i dont think that is true, but it is a good rule of thumb for general
amount.

I can get by quite happily on
5-6 hours a night. If I sleep more than that, it is generally a good sign
that I'm coming down with something.
I can't sleep at all during
the day, regardless of how dark the room is.
When I was a manager,
I would typically get about 20 hours a week which totally screwed me up
big time. So I quit.
The really annoying thing is that my partner
likes to operate on about 10 hours sleep, which kinda creates a few
problems, but nothing too serious. My ex used to like nothing more than to
sleep a MINIMUM of 14 hours (must have been a cat in a previous life).
He'd operate quite well on 6 hours, but he just liked
sleeping.
