A member asked:
Is it necessary to sleep 7 hours a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, helpful: Most adults are healthiest when sleeping around 8 hours/night, with a straight block of at least 6 hours. Children and young adults need more sleep as the brain and body are developing. As adults age, 55+, often sleep becomes more difficult. Sometimes this is hormonally related. Talk with your doctor to assess your sleep and its effect on your health and potential treatment/ interventions.
