Several health blogs and articles keep repeating over and over and over again; Get enough sleep!. You want good health? Get enough sleep!! Good brains? Get enough sleep!!! Good skin? Get enough sleep!!!! The list for reasons you should get enough sleep seem endless, hence the big question... HOW MUCH SLEEP IS ENOUGH SLEEP.

We have been made to believe 6 hours of sleep is good enough; but not exactly. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco discovered that some people have a gene that enables them to do well on six hours of sleep a night. This gene, however, is very rare, appearing in less than 3% of the population. For the other 97% of us, six hours doesn’t come close to cutting it.

I know! I wondered when I saw that too. The question now is how much sleep do the rest of us need?

I can imagine some one just said "SERIOUSLY? 7 - 9 HOURS? I definitely need more than 24 hours a day"... No you don't need more than 24 hours what you need is a NAP!!!

Well the hours needed for a restful sleep varies for us all but note that if you sleep well enough, you’ll feel energetic and alert all day long, from the moment you wake up until your regular bedtime.

7-9 sleep is simply unrealistic, nap? That depends on your kind of job, 90% of workers/businessmen don't have that luxury.
