Sleep less than 6 hours a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
7-8 hours: Most adults require seven to eight hours of sleep each night. If you sleep less then sleep deprivation occurs and you don't feel alert and well rested. The most common causes of sleep deprivation are: work hours, medical conditions, stress and personal obligations. The best way to prevent risks caused by sleep deprivation is to meet your sleep needs. Rec. See sleep or orofacial pain specialist.
