What Does ‘Good Sleep’ Mean, Anyway?

What Does ‘Good Sleep’ Mean, Anyway?

written by Josh Kimball

We talk about needing a good night’s sleep, but what is that exactly? The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) recommends that the average adult get somewhere between seven and nine hours of shuteye per night, whereas adults over 65 require between seven and eight hours. And while kids don't always want to go to bed, the NSF recommends they sleep ten to twelve hours a night!

Of course, every individual is different, and there’s no magic number that’ll tell you exactly how much sleep you need to sustain your lifestyle. Still, shooting for somewhere in this range is an excellent place to start.
