How much sleep is enough sleep for you /adv/? Most sites say that 8 hours of sleep is super optimal and less can cause major problems. What experience you have with low amounts of sleep?
I ask because I only sleep 4 hours a night, work full time and also do biking and aside from waking up hella hard, almost painfully so, I'm fine the rest of the day.
Could it be that I haven't done this long enough for my body this receive damages? I only do it for like half a year or so. I think if there were any issues, I would've get them by now.

I sleep 4 when I'm working or 6-7 otherwise. Some nights I just don't sleep and go for a walk. It feels totally natural to me.

The amount of sleep you need varies from person to person. 4 hours is on the extreme low end though. Maybe try to get more and see if you notice any differences. Also, for what it's worth, you should try to wake up after a discrete amount of REM cycles (90 minutes for most people), which means 4.5 hours, 6 hours, 7.5 hours, etc.

7-9 hours of sleep is the generally accepted amount you need to be healthy. If waking up is that hard, then you need to sleep more. Listen to your body, anon.
