How much sleep is little sleep?
Pretty much the title – how much sleep should you get per night to call it “little” amount of sleep?
Thanks

Anything less than 6 isn’t enough but maybe 5 or less is “not enough”
your body's natural sleep cycle is 90 minutes....and 3 sleep cycles per day are required to fully flush out the brains waste byproducts (ammonia, etc..)
so, that means, on a regular basis, you need 4.5 hours of actual sleep per night...plus a 15 minute nap in the middle of the day when the sun is at its highest (this is what our ancestors did...typically around 1-2pm). Most people sleep a lot more than they need.
Doctors would disagree with you...
I hope you don’t end up as my boss...
i have some bad news for you...i'm good friends with a bunch of MDs....
When you feel like crap in the morning. And you are so tired even coffee doesn’t really help and just make you feel even more stressed. Differs from people to people for me it’s less than 5 hours 30 minutes for more than 3 days.
I feel like crap in the morning / when I wake up whether I slept 4 hours or 12 hours
maybe get a different mattress/pillow
Turn the ac on and make it cold. You’ll sleep 10x better and maybe try a weighted blanket, it helped my mom a lot
Anything less than 7-8 is really not good for your long-term health. Even getting 5 hours for only a week can do some serious damage. IB hours are brutal, but even assuming you finish at 1am and need to be in the office by 10am the next day, try your hardest to be in your bed and asleep by 2am so you can get 7 hours and have time to get to work on time. This book covers the topic very well and I strongly suggest reading it. Bottom line is 7-8 hours most nights, no less than 6 on rare occasions.
Im sorry I dont see how 7-8 hours is possible. We have daily team calls at 8 am and usually dont finish up till 12-1 am the night before. I try to workout for ~20min in that time window as well, which makes it 5 hours
If you’re not hitting about 8 hours, you are severely harming your hormonal production (particularly testosterone). Can be a big impact in weight gain, lethargy, brain fog and depression.
