How many hours of sleep is enough?

It is said that those who often suffer from insomnia must rest more and get more sleep. Yes, getting enough sleep helps us stay in good spirits and work energetically throughout the day. So, how many hours of sleep is enough? How to treat insomnia? Let me now introduce to you in detail how many hours of adequate sleep is and how to relieve insomnia.

This question will not be exactly the same for everyone. For adults, it is generally sufficient to ensure about 7 hours of sleep. For most areas, it is normal to fall asleep between 20 and 23 o'clock at night, and generally get up no later than 6 o'clock in the morning. After getting up, you can exercise for about an hour. If you feel you haven’t gotten enough sleep, it’s best to make up for it with a nap rather than staying up late. Human beings living in this world all have different personality traits. Generally speaking, people can be divided into two categories: introverts and extroverts. People with two different personalities need different amounts of sleep.

Sleep is a normal physiological need of people, but the longer you sleep, the better. People of different ages have different sleep requirements. The younger you are, the lower the excitability of your cerebral cortex and the worse your tolerance to fatigue, so you need more sleep. In old age, the cerebral cortex function is not as active as that of young people, and physical activity is greatly reduced, so the sleep time required is also reduced accordingly. If you can fall asleep within half an hour after going to bed and feel energetic after waking up, then the amount of sleep you get in a week is close to the amount of sleep you need to get enough. Generally speaking, newborns need to sleep no less than 20 hours a day; infants and young children need about 15 hours, and school-age children need about 10 hours; adults need about 8 hours, and the elderly only need 5 to 6 hours. This is just a rough average. The amount of sleep each person needs each day varies greatly. This is related to many factors, such as a person's personality, health, work environment, labor intensity, etc. It is also related to each person's sleeping habits. Therefore, the quality of sleep should not be simply measured by the length of sleep time, but should be judged by whether fatigue is eliminated and whether energy is sufficient.

The above is the knowledge I introduced to you about how many hours of adequate sleep is needed. I believe everyone has understood it. It is recommended that you formulate a reasonable schedule based on your own living habits and gradually develop good sleeping habits. At the same time, you should not overwork during the day, otherwise it will easily cause insomnia. I wish you a healthy sleep.
