The day begins...: It depends on when you're going to sleep. You want to get 6 to 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night so if you're going to bed as late as midnight and awakening at 6 you could technically be getting enough sleep. Less than 6 hours nightly is not healthy, contributing to diabetes and difficulty losing weight.
