Although eight hours is a good length of time to sleep, not everyone needs this amount to feel healthy and well-rested. Some people might only need seven hours, while others could require nine. However much sleep you need, try not to get anxious about your sleeping patterns or you could make it more difficult to get the rest you need.

The body is usually able to regulate itself, which means if you go to sleep and wake up around the same time, you will feel tired at the same time each night. Try to avoid staying in bed too long in the morning; also, naps could negatively affect your nighttime sleep. For more great tips, check out this video.
