The perfect sleeper

Just the other day I was discussing with my friend about how much time should be dedicated for sleep in the night. He told me that he sleeps at about 2 a.m in the morning and wakes at about 1 p.m or so in the afternoon. I was shocked when I compared this to mine. Usually I manage about a maximum of seven to eight hours of sleep in the night which varies a lot depending when I sleep. Anytime more makes me feel as if I have just recovered from an illness which has left me deprived of energy. This prods me everytime I feel too sleepy to wake up after the usual 8 hours. So what is the perfect number which doesn't make you feel empty but instead with the "rested" feeling? I would say it might vary from person to person depending on how much stress and physical work they do through the day. I did start following the 7 to 8 hours sleep theory once I found out that it was somewhat good for me. I guess some people like sleeping so much that they follow it whenever possible! So adieu for now, have fun! ^_^

  2. "Obey the body" has been my mantra for sleep. Around 5 to 6 hours is fine for me. But there are times when I have gone sleepless for 50-60 hours (when the last working day is approaching and I have a record to complete !!). After one such stint, I remember sleeping around 18 hours at a trot !
