Sleep. Is it enough?

[BeverlyTazz]

Have you heard the saying we only need 6 hours of sleep a day? Well, Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, discovered that some people have a gene that enables them to function well on six hours of sleep a night. This gene, however, is very rare, appearing in less than 3% of the population. For the other 97% of us, six hours doesn’t come close to cutting it. I sleep late at night and I tend to feel dizzy during the day and even dozing off. But that's just me. Don't let it happen to you.

it's cool that there are such studies and each of us can draw conclusions from this

I feel totally rested when I get 5 - 6 hours of sleep at night. Any more than that, then I feel lethargic when I do finally get up and the beginning of my day just seems rough.

Not gonna lie though... I do love my 1/2 hour naps at lunch.

Yeah, sometimes too much sleep will affect our bodies to react, as you said. You will feel tired when you have too much sleep.
At times I too have power naps during break time. I feel refresh and ready to continue my work.

6-hour sleep is my minimum. If I sleep less, I feel bad, both physically and emotionally. I usually have a headache, low mood, red eyes, etc. Also, from my own experience, I know that it is important to have a proper regime. I used to work at night and ended up suffering from insomnia. It took me much time to get rid of it. I finally can fall asleep without taking my canadian pharmacy pills. Now I do my best to sleep at least 7-8 hours.
