The best amount of sleep is enough to not feel sleepy during the day. As long as you’re getting enough sleep, you shouldn’t feel sleepy when you’re awake. Because of this, we should try to get the same amount of sleep every day, including days off. Ideally, we should go to bed at an hour when we can fall asleep easily, rather than going out of our way to match someone else’s schedule.
The changing of the seasons seems to be a factor in how long we sleep. It’s believed that we sleep less when days are longer and more when days are short.
The only way to find the best amount of sleep for you is to try sleeping a little more at a time.
First, try going to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual, and then note if you’re able to get up easily in the morning, and whether or not you feel sleepy during the day. If you’re still sleepy in the daytime, try sleeping another 30 minutes more. Continue this for at least five days in a row, comparing your ability to function each day with the day before, and you’ll be able to figure out the best amount of sleep for you.
