One of my teachers told me you only need 4 hrs of sleep to function properly the next day...

But i average around 6hrs... 1am to 7am is my sleeping time

lol my tutor told me that as well, tried it once and couldnt keep my eyes open the next day at school, ended up sleeping on the bus home...

david, tell me. Why are you so organised in every possible way?

You get 8 hours of sleep

You did 4-5 hours of solid study

OMG, your life is so organised that I envy you so much.

Nah I didn't do 4-5; more like 2-3 during school on good days, and 4-5 on weekends etc

I love sleep, i wish i got more of it

 

[kenshinx77]

i sleep for 6 to 6.5 hrs.... is that enough u reckon?

 

[joben]

same here - but i reckon 7 hours should be your aim every night. that is a good number for me. if i get more than 8 hours i actually feel more tired at school the next day than gettin, say 6.5-7 hours. But it is best to try what works for you.

Woo a topic about sleep, my expertise
The body sleeps in 90 minute cycles, with the last 30 minutes being the most effecient and restorative. The first 30 minutes are the next most effecient (so if you're randomly tired at the library, take a 20-30 minute nap!). The 30 minutes in between is 'deep' sleep and can actually 'cause you to be more tired than you originally were if you wake up during this period.
It's best to wake up near the end of the last 30 minutes or 5 minutes after the last 30 minutes (which is a middle-stage, where you're not actually 'sleeping' but your body is just switched off, 'cause sleeping is when your body is restoring itself), as it allows you to make maximum use of your sleep.
tl;dr Don't wake up in the 30 minutes in between of a sleep cycle, sleep in 90 minute multiples (1.5 hours, 3 hours, 4.5 hours, 6 hours etc.) and a quick 20-30 minute nap is more effective than a 30-60 minute nap!

Actually for children (under 18/21, while the brain is still developing), you 'need' 9.

That may work for you but it certainly doesn't for me. I usually get just over 4 hours sleep a night and i feel like shit every morning till about 10am.

Seriously, every hour of time spent sleeping is one less hour for doing other stuff. I usually sleep at around 1-1:30 and wake up at 6:30. Greatly enhances productivity. Its a pity sleep is so damn comfy though.
