How much sleep should I get?

[Alex]

We spend a considerable chunk of our lives sleeping - some of us spend more than others! How many hours of sleep do you usually get, and what time do you head to bed/wake up in the morning? I try to wake up at 8am and head to bed at the latest 12AM.

I'm not really sure. I think it's about 5 hours. Like the OP, I seem to knock off at 12 am. Anyway, I'm always up at the crack of dawn.

I sleep 7 to 9 hours a night. @Alexander Sleep deprivation heightens the risk of heart attacks.

If you are productive and get too tired by the night then you must consume 7, to 8 hours of straight sleep to relax your brain.
