I can get by on 6, ideally 7.15 is the best for me. If only 5 or 6 for three days in a row my immune systems gets low. I need to make up the sleep and make sure I eat light foods i.e. soup and raw fruits and veggies. Then I get my momentum back to normal.

The duration of my sleep doesn’t change from weekday to weekend, although I would really like to get back into a really good and rested sleep again.

Hi Rick, I agree. I have friends who sleep 5-6 hours and are very fit and energetic. There are surely more factors in play than the study seems to suggest. Personally, I think sleep quality is what really matters NOT duration as touted by the study.

What makes sleep quality high? I have no idea…need to look into that!

Regardless, this study was intriguing to me. Sleep and sleep quality is something I’ve never really paid much attention to in my life. I’ll surely be paying more attention to it going forward. Will be exciting to see what the affect (if any) will be on my energy levels and health. At any case, I hope to grab back a few hours a day from sleep-time and spend on it on more productive endeavours (reading, writing, etc.).

Take care.

I’m not overweight by any means. When I was younger I slept 4-5 hours a day. I’m up to 6-7 hours a day now. Weekends and weekdays don’t vary much.

I would want to see a lot more evidence before I admitted a causal relationship between the amount of sleep and weight problems. I can see the two being correlated, but not causal.
