I sleep 5 hours roughly. I want to sleep more but I have to get up @ 5.20 for work and I get back from work around 7-8pm then I do my private design stuff till 12.

Will I self-combust? Are any of you in similar situation? Is there any way I can trick my body into believing that everything is fine?
I did lot of googling and looks like I need minimum 7 hours or I will be heading for serious trouble:-(

Oh, and your chances of self-combusting are the same no matter the amount of hours you sleep user added image

The average person needs 7-8 hours a night, but it differs for every person. Some people may need as much as 10 hours a night and others need much less. If you sleep longer on the weekends than during the week, you probably aren't getting the sleep you need every night.

Q. Can people make up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping in on weekends?

A. No. If you sleep more on the weekends than during the week – and many of us do – this indicates that you have a "sleep debt." A sleep debt accumulates when you don't get enough sleep. The only way to reduce the debt is to sleep as much as your body needs every night. Make sure you're getting the right quality of sleep as well. Sleep in a cool, dark, quiet room on a comfortable, supportive mattress to get your best night's sleep.

Q. What if there's no time for sleep? What can people do to sleep better?

A. Sleep needs to be a health priority. It affects every aspect of your day-to-day living. If you can't say "yes" to sleep, make sure to make the most out of the sleep you get. Exercise regularly – people who exercise a few times a week sleep better than people who don't. Also, avoid caffeine, alcohol and tobacco products late in the day. All can interfere with sleep. You need to create a restful sleep environment so the sleep you get is restorative and uninterrupted. Sleep in a dark room, on a comfortable, supportive mattress. Keep the room cool and quiet. And if you find yourself too stressed to sleep, make a list of all the things you need to do. Once you've made your to-do list, give yourself permission to relax and sleep. You'll need the energy to tackle your tasks in the morning.

grrrr

4 - 7 hours. no more than 7 because 7 is what you SHOULD need. I can handle the 4-6 hour range, just not all the time. I dont like to waste my day away on sleeping. If your one of those people who goes to bed at midnight or 2 am.. then wakes up at 2 pm, then hell... your really not livin life to its fullest. Go to bed at 12 or whenever, and wake up at 7 or 8. Your day will feel a lot longer and you most likely will NOT be groggy... too much sleep leads to groggyness.

BTW, people like my dad for example, he has some major work to do, lots of plane rides.. just real hard long work. In any case, his body has adjusted so that he can operate off of 5 hours or less of sleep per night, no matter what time it is.. so it doesnt HAVE to be at night.. so he has trained his body to be able to sleep when he has to, go into a deep sleep and get the most out of it. I take it kevin has had to do this as well.

I think this depends on the person. Maybe your dad can handle 5 hours mine handles 9, so you see, it depends. user added image

I handle myself at a "variable" rate. Maybe one today .. twelve tomorrow.

I sleep as long as I can and as often too. I would sleep sitting on the toilette if my wife didnt yell at me. theres nothing like a nice six hour nap to break up the day.
