Quality of sleep vs Hours of sleep

‎03-08-2018 06:07

For the past several nights I have been getting less sleep (6 to 7 hours). However my Sleep Quality seems to be better than at 8 hours. I have more REM and deep sleep and less awake time. 

What is the explanation for this?

Hi @Kellyanne26,

 

The explanation is quality and quantity are not the same thing.

 

You can sleep for 6 hours and get good sleep. Or you could sleep 9 hours and awake a lot during the night and be less rested as a result.

Work out...eat... sleep...repeat!
