What's the average sleep time ?

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 you are getting enough sleep. However if you are dragging your feet and need to drink caffeine to keep you going more sleep is recommended.
