How much sleep do you need to feel fully rested at your current age?

PersianKitty94

I'm 21. If i get 8 hours of good quality sleep, i feel great. I can live on 6-7. At 5 hours I wake up wanting to bite people.

madhu1981

29 and i aim for 8 hours sleep but try to get a deep 4 hours sleep. I used to suffer from insomnia so a light 8h sleep is amazing for me now

Heartlight441

43 and I like a good solid 8 hours.

9-10 hours feel amazing, but I can function on 6 for quite a while if I have good weekend sleep. I'm 29 and have always been this way.

27 and it's probably like 23.5 hours. I never feel rested anymore, even with 9.5 hours.

My goal is never less than 7, I usually get that plus a little on work nights. Perfect for me to be rested, energized AND LOSE WEIGHT, I need no less than 9. Yes lack of "your perfect sleep number" causes you to put on weight and make it extra difficult to drop the weight. On work days I work 12 hours shifts plus travel time.....just not enough hours in the day to pull 9 hours sleep on those days.

I am 56 and have hypothyroid disease....which requires more sleep as well. Maybe if I could sleep like Rip Van Winkle for 7 years I would wake up healthy and skinny!!! Wouldn't that be nice!

I need 10hrs to feel fully rested. I usually get about 7-8hrs on week days. I need caffeine to function on weekdays. lol.

TheRoadDog

Ooo melatonin = creepy sleepy. Gives me the most effed up dreams.

I'm really lucky if I get 5 hours.

I'm 23 and I need 8 hours to not feel like crap and be cranky.

MrsBooBear

7hrs. I'm 38.

Shana67

I am 48. I get into bed by 8:30pm most nights (cue the partying!!) and I am awake and ready to hit the gym at 5am. So, typically I get 8 hours a night, but if I can get more, I am happier

Tsartele

7-8 hours is ideal but many days I do just fine on 6

mkakids

I can function well on 3, can barely move on 4-5, function well on 6, feel good on 7-9 and feel fully rested at 10.

Im 32.

5-6 hours is perfect. Anymore and I feel groggy and 'off' the entire day.

JustAnotherOneOfThoseGirls

I'm 19, but diagnosed with insomnia so you might want to ignore my results, I can function well on 3-4 hours sleep :') although I prefer 6+

trina1049

I'm 66 and now sleep 7 to 7 1/2 hours, sometimes even 8. I suffered from insomnia for years often not sleeping more than 3 - 4 hours a night, sometimes not at all. Retirement, reducing stress, losing weight, and increasing physical activity are what helped me to resume normal sleep patterns. I finally feel fully rested.

I'm 28 and I'd say about 7 hours, it depends on how hard I've trained and what I've ate etc. That's assuming I get uninterrupted sleep too
