How Much Sleep do you Really Need?

Have you ever wondered how much sleep you should get for your age.

Of course, sleep requirements are different for different ages.

Not all people are the same, so someone else my age may need a little more or a little less than me. It also depends on what time you go to bed, what your activity level is, and other factors.

However, to get an idea of what the suggested sleep times are for you across your lifespan, it is helpful to consult a sleep chart for that information.

If you are getting much less than the recommended amount, try working more sleep time into your schedule. You may feel a lot better.

If you find yourself saying that you don't have time to get more sleep, then consider this: if more sleep makes you feel better, then you will be more productive and more efficient in your working time, so you will get more done in less time. Plus the bonus is you feel better. Sounds like it's worth it to me!
