Is sleeping for only 4 hours a day bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep: Most studies recommend to sleep between 6 to 8 hours, if you have always been a short sleeper you should be fine unless this is a new change, genetically there can be short and long sleepers out of the mean standard deviation.
