How much sleep do we really need?



Neil Stanley, sleep research expert, believes that everyone has their own individual "sleep need" which can be anywhere between three and 11 hours. "If you’re a three-hour-a-night person, you need three; if you're 11, you need 11."

Stanley has a simple solution to find out the amount of sleep that you require. Simply sleep until you wake naturally, without the aid of an alarm clock. Feel rested? That’s your sleep need.
