                  Sleep is very important. It lowers you stress level and it give your body a chance to rejuvinate itself after being up all day...An average person is supposed to get at least 8 hours of sleep...

                        I have worked in a sleep lab for over 20yrs the amount of sleep at nite you need goes down as you age. Babys sleep 20hrs with naps. And 80 yos sleep 6hrs At nite, with naps during the day. The body needs, whatever the age, 6 hrs of uninterrupted sleep. If you wake every 2 hrs. Go see your MD

                                                      Geez-sleep is very important for your body to recover. That is one question your doctor should always ask of you.

                                                          gettingscrilla once i get to a laptop will explain more. But generally teens need 10 -11hrs and once you hit 21ish to 24 you should have a regular sleep cycle and need 7-8 hrs. Poeple i see wake Q2HRS. usually after a dream period. And feel tired all day. There is a simple cure . And sleep meds arent it. They get you to sleep, dont keep you asleep. I will PM you around 5pm Cst

                                                            Anyone here ever try the Uberman (polyphasic) sleep system? Never tried it; always thought it would be interesting.

                                                                    mostly though its not necessary for me to sleep more than 6. 7 is fine. 8 is getting to be too much.
