How many hours should you sleep for?

I have to sleep for 9 hours atleast even before I can function properly!! but im stil really tierd in the morning, im anemic an im on 300mg of iron a day and im still tierd even after my iron tabelts, am I sleeping to many hours? Xx

depends on what you are used to I guess. I sleep somewhere between 5 and 7 hours tops (usually) and that works well for me. I don't think there is a scientific guideline for sleeping too much though...

maybe you should experiment a little, sleep 8 hours per night for a week long and see how you feel.

Well, my sleeping habbit is different to most, I think. The earlier I go to be the later I wake up and the later I go to bed, the earlier I wake up. But Im not sure for the hours.

the average for everybody is 8 hours of sleep a day
mine is terrible though and varies...from 0 to around 16!
you need to sleep so your body can re-charge
if your still feeling tired perhaps your not getting enough protein either

woman as beautiful as can sleep all they want,as far as im concerned...lol..peace

Your body required that you get at lest 6 hours of sleep.

you should sleep 8 hours

I heard you are supposed to get
No more than eight and no less than five

everyone has a different amount of sleep requirements. Try sleeping half an hour earlier and see if that helps. I know someone who has to sleep for 10 hrs, but I need 8 and I'm fine.
