A question often on people’s mind is ‘How much sleep do I need each night?’
Generally speaking, there is no single amount of sleep that ‘fits’ everyone.
Most healthy adults need 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. However, at the
extremes, some people need only 4 hours of sleep and others require 10 hours
of sleep. Moreover, a person’s sleep need might change depending upon life

of sleep lets us not only feel alert and energetic during the day, but it also
allows us to best manage our emotions and reactions to the difficult things
going on for us in our lives. READ MORE
