How Much Sleep Do We Really Need?

Well...it depends. According to Daniel Kripke, co-director of research at the Scripps Clinic Sleep Center in La Jolla, California, people who sleep between 6.5 hr. and 7.5 hr. a night, as they report, live the longest.

So what should you do? Simple. Sleep for as long as you need to feel best. Personally, i sleep for six and a half hours on weekdays and seven hours on weekends. This is easier said than done, however. With our busy and hectic lives, we often don't have time to relax before we go to bed, which in turn affects our sleep.

Sleeping pills are one solution, but there are a lot of better options out there. In my next post, i'll list what helps me sleep well at night.
