Question: How much sleep does an average person need for proper health maintenance?I know that recieving 9.5 hours of sleep restores a person immune system, and at least 8 hours guide in effective anabolic activity as well as neurohormone effectiveness. But i find myself quite educated in general biology and medicine, but unfortunately do not know that much about sleep. Any accurate information would be helpful, please get into as much detail as possible in your own words, do not copy adn waste from wikipedia or other sources, as i can do that myself
Answer: If I am lucky I sleep 4 hours a night. I always have. If I have a "bad" night, I sleep 1 or 2 hours, and then have to have a nap of 1or 2 hours in the day. Sleeping pills, barbituates, and narcotics have no effect.t used to bother me, but I have adjusted to this sleeping pattern. I never get cranky anymore, and I have never been lethargic from lack of sleep. My thought patterns and cognative abilities have never been compromised from a lack of sleep. I have never been formally diagnosed, but I know I am an insomniac. I think it is an overactive brain that is the cause. (Analyze this, analyze that, ect.)It should be noted that I can also stay up for literally hours at a time with no caffiene or other stimulant drugs. It has literally no effect on me other than I get easily frustrated and my eyes get blurry. Sometimes my shoulders hurt from being upright so long. But other than that I function fine.
