Do you get enough sleep?

---

*Adults* – For most adults, 7 to 8 hours a night appears to be the best amount of sleep, although the amount ranges from 5 hours to 10 hours of sleep each day depending on the individual. It should be noted that a recent research study conducted by Boston University School of Medicine found that study participants that reported sleeping less than 6 hours or more than 9 hours a day had an increased incidence of diabetes, compared to those who slept 7-8 hours (see online resources).

I get about six hours at the most. I can't sleep more than that unless I have been up for a long time. Even then, I usually get up after about six hours. My wife is different. She likes 9-10 hours. She never gets that, but that is what she would like to sleep. I can never go to bed early . If I do, I wake up around four a.m. I can't sleep the entire night away. Now that is just the opposite with the day. If the sun is up, I could be sleeping. I think I was born to stay up at night. I have never done well with getting up early. I swear if school would have started at noon I would have gone more. I think I will always be a "night owl". Some things you just can't change about yourself.
