7 hours is good, but I wah and have a nap break daily (instead of a lunch break) I really miss it when I can't take it.

That is why a nap is really good for our health.


Naps make me groggy and hard to fall asleep that night.

I just checked my phone - I track my sleep. I average 7 hours during the week day and 7.5 hours during the weekend. I would love a solid 8 but it’s impossible with 3 kids and activities.

I usually sleep around 7 hours if I dont set an alarm. Maybe 8 or the weekend after a few days of bad sleep. On a typical weekday, I get 5 to 6.

8 is perfect. Anything more than 9, I feel even more tired (anyone else feel this way)?

Me too.
But in order to feel optimal it would all have to be uninterrupted slumber. 😴

About 7 to 7.5. Rarely do I need 8 unless exhausted.

6-7. Often get 6 and seem to be fine. I do wake up often at night. Once in a blue moon I sleep 8. Find my dog wakes me up wanting breakfast earlier than I might get up otherwise. Have not been able to stop her from doing this. Ignore her but she knows I am awake and she sits by my bed whining and jumping on and off the bed.
