Default How much sleep should a person actually get per night? - 12-17-2008, 07:25 PM

I ask because I've been told that a person should try to complete full sleep cycles of roughly 3 hours each at night, and that waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle actually makes you feel more tired. So, would a 3 hour nap be better than 1.5? Should we abandon the 8 hours of sleep standard?

You should get on average at least 6 hours of sleep, but you should get between 7 to 8
