Question by Bumbo: How much sleep does a 30 yr old man need to maintain optimum functioning and alertness?
Just curious how much sleep you all get out there? I know some people who get 2h or less a night and can function…others that need 10 hours…there has to be some kind of guideline times that work. What works for you? How will i know when i am getting the right balance between waking hours and time spent sleeping…after all I don’t want to sleep my life away, but don’t want my quality of life to suffer because of not enough sleep! Thanks and God Bless!

I think that a full grown adult in general needs about 8hrs of sleep per night. Teens: about 10 or more hrs. GOOD LUCK
