Average sleep

[emptyother]

Thats the third week in a row my sleep averaged 06:05 (06:05, 06:07, 06:10).

I've always stressed that i should get 7,5 hours of sleep. Which seems my body is very resistant to. It rather sleep four or 12 or 3 or 7. Weirdly enough, after getting the fitbit i found i sleep calm and the end average is always 6 hours.

Maybe i'm trying to hard? Maybe i should reduce my sleep to 6 hours? Maybe the long sleeps is what makes my sleep unstable and my mind tired? What are your experiences for best sleep lengths?

@emptyother I got a week with an average of 5.5! I know! And I was really tired. I'm more like a night person, so it's hard for me to go to sleep. I always find Twitter, or a blog, or a book. It's like a self auto induced insomnia. What I have found is that even if there is an average of sleep hours, it depends on each person. Try to stay above 6.5 and you'll be fine. You can set small goals every night. 

I started to read @maddy 's excellent advice on How do you improve your sleep quality? And you should check what are you're eating before you go to sleep. You can find some lifestyle tips from the National Sleep Foundation and the Mayo Clinic. Happy stepping!

6.5 hours sounds a bit more manageable. Have you (or anyone else) ever logged a week with up to or above 8-9 hours average? How was that compared to a week with too little sleep?
