hiddendragon98 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I usually get about 7 and a half hours of sleep a night is that enough for and active 15 year old male? Or over enough? Or just fine? "walk on"-Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei8 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Sounds fine to me. BUT...I'm no doctor! Ask your parents, and ask a doctor. I believe that 8 hours is the rule of thumb, but I also think that's subjective to 8 RESTFUL hours, and not tossing all night and/or visiting the bathroom a lot.Seek the advice of your parents and your doctor!!

Rateh Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 My doctors recommendation is 7 and a half hours a night. So you would be right on the money.

wagnerk Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 While 7-9 hours (8 hours being average) of sleep per night is a common goal, it does really depend on the individual. The question for you is... Are you able to do the things that you need to do during the day.Why should we have eight hours' sleep?

Hawkmoon Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 'ALL' of the above, but more to this is the quality of sleep that you are getting!If you wake up in the morning and find yourself saying 'I couldn't get comfortable' or 'I was tossing and turning all night last night' or maybe you simply feel like you could do with more sleeporyou take ages to actually 'wake up' or get up/get going for that matter.......you need more sleep because you didn't sleep soundly that night!Consider changing the mattress!If its a soft mattress one get a firmer one, and so on. Not sure about the stores in your area, but around where I live they let you get on them and 'test' them to see if they feel nice or better.(no you don't get to sleep on them) The idea is to give you a chance to pick the one that is more to your liking way better than 'pit luck' and just ordering this or that one and then not feeling comfortable on it! “A human life gains luster and strength only when it is polished and tempered.”Sosai Masutatsu Oyama (1923 - 1994) Founder of Kyokushin Karate.

Rateh Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 99 days out of 100 I wake up exhausted. Doesn't matter if I got 5 hours of sleep or 15. I'm pretty sure this is a bad sign, and I get a lot less done because of it. On days when I don't work in the morning and I wake up feeling rested at around 9 or 10 am, I am shocked at how much I can get done. It makes me wonder, if most of the rest of the world spends less than 12 hours a day laying in bed, how come there are so many problems? What are people doing with all of that time on their hands? Also, I'm pretty sure I should get myself checked at a sleep center to make sure I don't have something wrong Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start. - Nido Qubein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
