Odd question but is it normal to only sleep 4-6 hours on average?

🥺😩

No, most adults need at least 7 hours of sleep per night.

@Workerbee You feel mostly refreshed after 6 hours?
Workerbee · 31-35, M
@SumKindaMunster yes 😂 that’s why I’m confused
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Workerbee I think you're fine. If that is working for you, and you are feeling refreshed and rested, perhaps 6 hours is all you need.

I find I can get by on 5 hours of sleep, but then I will sleep more the following nights so I believe the 7 hour range is my ideal.

In a 24 hr period you mean, right? Seems low to me. Of course there must be people who could pull that off as there are people who need much more than normal.

I'm retired and live alone (with a stepson but he's on the top floor) and I sleep mostly by napping - - anywhere from 2 to 5 hours at a time totaling at least 8 hrs a day.

You'd be good in a foxhole with a like soldier - - both of you could depend on the other to be alert when needs be.

@SW-User 😂 uhh I’m mostly alert when I’m up, also living on a busy street doesn’t help either
For ME, 4 - 6 hours is sleeping late.
@SW-User I combined music with call in chats about current events. It was very popular

Excellent! Especially to have enjoyed 25 yrs of it.

@NoThanksLeon what do you mean late? As in you don’t sleep at all?

Some can still function with that amount of rest.

I can't.

Eight hours please.
Workerbee · 31-35, M
@Umile we will see today if i can function, yesterday was more than expected work load, hoping today will be lighter
Umile · 41-45, F
@Workerbee Rest is important. Rest up when you can..

Personally I get about 2-4 hrs of sleep a day.
Umile · 41-45, F
@LilPrincess Girl. Is it enough for you though ?
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
@Umile I have been doing most of my life. I have moments where I don't sleep at all.
Umile · 41-45, F
Yeah I'm there these days too. Rough as hell start. But once I get going I'm good for the day
Raaii · 22-25, F

It's not good

It’s an unhealthy norm for me too 😭
Workerbee · 31-35, M
@Ashly do you sleep late?
Ashly · 26-30, F
@Workerbee sometimes, and there’s days where I can’t sleep 😕

I usually sleep 6 hours 🤷‍♀️
Workerbee · 31-35, M
@Lilymoon do you feel rested?
Lilymoon · F
@Workerbee for the most part yep

On a good night I`ll get 6-7.
Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M
I do the same thing I think it’s because I used to get up early for work so it’s just a thing now
Julien · 36-40, M
It’s fine , if you feel ok with it some people only need a little sleep
JustDJ76 · 46-50, M
Probably not normal but everyone is different
