A few hours of sleep a day is most appropriate. How many hours of sleep is best every day?

Recently, Mr. Zhang Chaoyang, CEO of Sohu, publicly said that ordinary people do not need to sleep for a long time every day, and it is enough to sleep 4 hours a day.

This sleep pattern varies from person to person and is not desirable for everyone!

Some people at the expense of sleep time, lack of energy, the efficiency of the whole day will be very low, sleep more and sleep less need to conform to the human body's sleep rules, only sleep well, energy, the efficiency is naturally high, no need to compress time to complete things.

Moreover, people have different needs for sleep duration at different ages, from the need for a longer sleep time when they are young to a shorter sleep time as they get older. But even for the elderly, 2-5 hours of sleep is clearly insufficient. When you sleep less than 6 hours, the risk of cognitive impairment is significantly increased.

Nowadays, young people have high work pressure, many entertainment projects, and lack of time has become the norm, which may also be the reason why various short sleep methods on the Internet have attracted attention. Reducing sleep time comes at the cost of health damage, and saving time really doesn't outweigh the cost.

On top of that, while we often see some well-known business people, historical figures, and other celebrities claiming to sleep only 4 hours a night, these claims are often unsubstantiated, and if you look closely, you will find them untrue.

Chances are, many people who say they don't need a lot of sleep will take naps during the day to compensate for the short nights.

So, we don't have to follow the trend and compress our sleep time!

As long as the average adult ensures that he goes to bed before 11 o'clock and gets 7-9 hours of sleep a day, he or she can achieve the best state of sensory and physical function.

Sleep time varies depending on the age group:

1. Newborns: Newborn children sleep about 20 hours a day, and babies sleep about 14 to 15 hours a day;

2. Teenagers and young adults: primary school students are teenagers, about eight hours to 12 hours, middle school students are about nine hours a day, college students and adults are basically eight hours a day;

3. Elderly: 60 years old and over 60 years old sleep about nine hours a day, if the elderly sleep less at night, you can use the noon time to make up.

Generally, adults can maintain a sleep time of about 8 hours, but there is no mandatory requirement for sleep time every day, and it is generally based on their own situation. As long as you are in a good state of mind the next day, you will get enough sleep according to your needs.

People of all ages need different amounts of sleep. Generally, newborns sleep for about 18 hours; Babies are about 12 hours; Preschoolers sleep for about 10 hours; Adolescents sleep for 8-9 hours; 7-8 hours for adults; Older people may have their sleep reduced to about 6 hours due to various functional declines.

People with sleep disorders can drink a glass of warm milk before going to bed, and do appropriate physical exercise during the day to help them fall asleep, improve sleep quality, and ensure that the brain is fully rested.

With enough sleep, nerve cells and memory cells are likely to play their best role. If you don't get enough sleep for a long time and have poor sleep quality, it is easy to cause various health problems, such as mental weakness, sleepiness, malnutrition, etc. Therefore, in order to ensure good health and maintain high efficiency in daily work and study, adequate sleep time should be ensured.

Everyone's sleep needs are different, but adults recommend 7-9 hours of sleep per day. If you miss sleeping 1-2 hours of acorn every day, it may lead to problems such as fatigue, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, etc., which may also affect the health of the body.

If this condition persists, it can lead to chronic sleep deprivation and an increased risk of disease.

Although sleeping less than 1-2 hours a day is not a serious matter of staying up late, failing this habit may have a negative impact on the body, affecting physical health and work efficiency.

Therefore, in order to maintain good health and energy, it is recommended to ensure adequate sleep time every day.
