While sleep requirements can vary based on individual needs, age, and health, for most adults,
7-9 hours is the golden range (Got kids, check out '

8 Hours in Bed ≠ 8 Hours of Sleep
Ever wondered why you feel groggy even after spending a solid 8 hours in bed? It’s because of the natural sleep cycle disruptions, periods of wakefulness, and various sleep stages. This means, sometimes, you might need a bit more than 8 hours in bed to get a full 8 hours of restful sleep.
For me, investing in a Smart Watch to monitor my sleep has been a game-changer. It’s worth the investment in your Health! ⌚💤🌙
