Good question.: There are so many reasons why people don't sleep well. One has to look at work habits, how active one is, how stressful one's life is & one's health status is. Not to be ignored is possible depression, anxiety or sleep apnea. A workup by a primary care physician can help answer why you can't sleep well.

Depends: This depends on if you are feeling tired during the day. There are genetically short sleepers. Otherwise, if you feel you could use more sleep but aren't getting it, see a sleep medicine specialist for some recommendations that fit with your life and medical issues. Make sure it is not related to something else.
