Do you think 8 hours sleep a day is over doing it?

[Forsaken Wanderer]

We are often told we should get 8 hours but that is really a lot to ask. I usually get 5-6 hours of sleep a night during the week. I accidentally slept in today as my alarm didn't wake me (lucky it's the weekends) so for the first time in perhaps a year I got 8 hours sleep and I don't feel any better.

Do you do stuff?

If you do stuff, like with your body, your body needs more sleep to repair. If you don't do stuff, you're probably fine with whatever.

I do about 4-5 hours. I might do 6 sometimes. If I sleep more than that I feel like shit.

You should sleep as much as you possibly can and be thankful that you can. Sleep is the only time your body can work on clearing beta-amyloid from your brain. If you don't clear enough beta-amyloid on a regular basis, it builds up as plaque, which leads to Alzheimer's and dementia.

I probably have some of that wrong, but it's more than enough to get you started.

8 hours is peak and only masochists suggest otherwise.

I’m good with 7.5-9 depending on how much I’ve worked out or if I’m not feeling my best or need to catch up on sleep debt

8 hours is too little, you should spend 12 hours in this world and 12 hours exploring the depths of your own psyche so waking life is peaceful and sleeping life is insightful
