Is 6 hours of sleep per night enough?
7 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
7-8 hours of sleep: 6 hours of sleep may not be enough for most adults. 7-8 hrs of sleep per day averaged over several weeks is considered adequate.

It is a a bit short.: though many people function on less sleep, most people need 7 1/2 to 8 hours of sleep a night. Also it take 3 to 5 days go catch up when someone is sleep deprived so often sleeping in on the weekend is not enough.

Sleep duration: Average sleep time is 6-8 hours. If you feel like you have enough energy to complete your daily activities without the desire to nap sounds like 6 is enough. However if you are dragging your feet and need to drink caffeine to keep you going more sleep is recommended.
